I wonder how much was in there? A few years ago a Border Patrol agent in Arizona agent set off a couple pounds of Tannerite for a gender reveal party that started a wildfire that spread to NM. He was ordered to pay restitution with an initial payment of $100,000. Then $500 a month for the next twenty years at which time he’ll go before a judge to determine how much more they’ll hit him for.
He’s not the only one either. There’s a bunch of other examples of people who’ve been charged for doing stupid schidt with it. I wouldn’t screw around with that crap. Especially in the amount needed to take out an entire herd of pigs. .
Not nearly as effective as I would have expected. Needed a bunch of shrapnel in the tannerite. Pigs are a pest and I could care less how they’re killed.
When the enemy breeds like pigs, measures are judged by effectiveness, not kindness or sporting ethics. That tannerite needed a buncha ball bearings as projectiles. No sense getting sqeamish over a few squeals, I have heard worse while loading the bastards into a truck for transport to the slaughterhouse. They start tearing the hell out of your farm, your crop, your living, you will be a lot less squeamish about what it takes to thin them out. Its always the folks who have the luxury of an idealistic view that become offended by the reality of a situation.
This kind of stuff is how people who usually don't care or stay out of it end up siding with anti-hunters and laws get changed. Just dumb.
They're not even fuzzy and cute. And only goat humpers don't like bacon. Would it be better if they strung them up by their rear legs and cut their throats with a blessed knife so they were kosher/halal? Think they wouldn't scream then?

I didn't say don't eradicate them from a property. Why post videos to go viral of it? Video can't do any good.

Its got 2.5 million views and I haven’t heard of anyone burning down any malls over it so how bad can it be?

You do have a point there. I don't get why they'd post the video.

Because abortion is supposedly a right and no one needs to know how sausage is made....

Honestly, it's because the kind of people blowing up pigs believe that everyone else wants to blow up pigs. It's that microcosm thing.
How anyone feels about that might depend on how much feral hogs depredations are impinging upon the income they need to support themselves and their family.
9+ hogs eliminated for the cost of some tannerite, might be worth it.
The game wardens here shoot at them whenever the opportunity presents itself regardless of the angle of the shot or wherever it may hit. More specifically, they shoot a lot of them in the a$$ with 22's so they won't lay out in the open. Fixing fence or filling in deep holes in your hay meadow, or looking at your expensive trees you planted all tore up and rooted, you'd be wanting to be rid of varmint swine however it could be done however distasteful or unethical it might seem at first. Compare it to rats raiding your subsistence vegetable garden, or varmints pulling down your clothesline and ruining your few pieces of clothing you have

Do tell.
Exactly where are these Texas Game Wardens ass shooting feral hogs with .22's?
Being as Texas is vastly private property, and hunting private property without landowner permission is a State jail Felony, just how many game wardens are now felons?
I'm not a fan of hogs, but anything worth shooting is worth trying to put down quickly and humanely. I'll even pop a snake again if I first hit him amidships.
If the cost of groceries continues to escalate, the wild hog problem will be solved.
that's what I was thinking
how eating those things?
Thats a lot of wasted bacon
Bristoe,
I remember eddybo, member who passed away saying the same thing back during the obama years. ------------------------------------------
I was in a hog hunting lease 18 miles north of panama city beach, florida for 9 years. Out of all the hogs killed, one taste good and a couple were tolerable. If they stink and 95% do, the meat isn't worth eating. I heard/read the comment 'when cooking it smells like boiling Urine' yeah gross comment but that's exactly what came to mind when cooking it. So anybody who thinks they're going to fill a freezer with great tasting pork, in my experience, it's not likely to happen. Every member in our lease and others I met said the same thing, the smell while cooking took your appetite. < Just saying.
If they all tasted like the ONE good one I killed/butchered there would be FAR FEWER hogs >fact.
If you've never suffered a platoon of them rooting up your yard you have no idea what it's about.
They tear up everything in sight on our land in Tennessee, crops, lawn, mountain springs, everything. Like I said I will gladly shoot them on sight. I don't even have a problem blowing them up if that is what it takes. I simply don't enjoy watching animals suffer.
Agreed - there's a difference between killing and eradicating a pest and then doing so to cause suffering of that pest. All that pig is doing is being a pig - it's not malice, it's not evil any more than complaining that a dog barks. They're just doing what they were designed to do - be a pig. It's not personal. I get killing them, I don't get doing so inhumanely.

Gonna hoist the BuIIS#it flag on this. I live in TX and I sure as heck haven't heard of this, haven't seen it and don't know any landowners that would allow it. Not even a game warden can shoot a hog on private property without landowner permission.
On a side note, I have shot a lot of hogs in TX and know the problems they bring. But videos like this give a lot of ammo to the anti-hunters who do not differentiate between pest control regarding hogs and deer hunting for meat. To them it is all bad and they will use videos like this against us and only a fool thinks otherwise.
