sako751sg Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 New Zealand used to do it with the red deer a long time ago. Needs must when they get to those numbers and you can cover a lot of ground quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim85 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Its amazing how much money they can throw at this kind of thing for pest control. I know that they have massive amounts of land to cover in comparison to the UK but it does kind of take the field craft aspect out of the picture completely!

foxy bingo Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 not just usa , australia and new Zealand also do it from choppers the damage these feral pig do runs into millions of dollars they can destroy a whole field of crops in a night and a lot of ground can be covered in a chopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsdad Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I appreciate it is pest control but even pests deserve a lot more respect than shown here...multiple shots and leaving animals without ensuring they are dispatched is rather distasteful in my opinion.

thepasty Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 altho the expense could be high and the piggys can suffer to me its look much more cost effective and pest control effective than having men on the ground covering very little land (in comparison) and shooting little (in comparison). Looks like the tools for the job. It was very effective in the Galapagos on goats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they only got the mature animals. Presumably if the piglets cant fend for themselves, they will starve?

demonwolf444 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 at least there is a good backstop? In austrailia pigs are such a problem they just shoot them and leave them for nature to dispose of. the more i see video's like this, the more it seems only the UK go for the "one shot one kill" mantra.

Scully Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'm not condoning anything.It's pest control;it's a dirty job. Rats and mice are poisoned;is it slow and painful or quick and painless? Some rats are hunted with terriers...is it quick and painless?Does anyone care? Rabbits are shot all year round,which in spring leads to many young starving to death.Is that inhumane? Some think so,others don't.Its pest control.It is what it is.

delburt0 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Your missing the point mate, The point I am trying to make is that I would make sure whatever I shot was dead before I moved on. Anyone that goes deer stalking on here would not partially cripple a deer and walk off without looking for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Comparing apples to oranges. Hogs are vast in numbers out there and you can't attack every pest problem with the beautiful stalk and perfect shot. Is it ideal... No but they are taking peoples livelihood.

Anyone that goes deer stalking on here would not partially cripple a deer and walk off without looking for it. I'm not missing the point at all mate.Everyone on here no doubt tries their best to ensure a clean,instantaneous death,but it's not a perfect world and doesn't always happen.What about the rabbit that for some unfathomable reason has its lower jaw blown off rather than the clean head shot we intended,which then scuttles down some hole? If it doesn't bleed to death in agony and survives it then has a slow starvation to look forward to being unable to eat.How many have a spade never mind the intent to start digging at 1130 at night to look for a rabbit you don't know the whereabouts of? For all I know the helicopter came round again to finish off the wounded,but more than likely it didn't.I'm not condoning it,just thinking of the practicalities.It wasn't sport,it was pest control.It's not an ideal world I'm afraid. No one intends to wound,but it happens. There's a world of difference between pest control and deer stalking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
