30,000 feet isn't the problem; 500mph is!! (Along with the near lack of oxygen)

I'm not interested in killing for the sake of killing. Realize these things are a huge problem down here but I really really like bacon.
I agree that the meat is tastier than venison, but feral hogs are a real agricultural problem. No landowner would go to the expense of shooting hogs from a helicopter unless it was economically beneficial. [Translation: Hogs do a lot of damage, and the cost of the helicopter shooting is cheaper than letting the hogs go unchecked] I don't really like the waste of meat, but when I catch a rat or mouse in a trap I don't eat them either.

A real hunter would get closer. It's poor souls with no skill for stalking game that have to take long shots.sjfcontrol wrote:Bah! A real hunter would hold his breath, and adjust for windage!

They weren't at 30000 ft. And it was the equivalent of hunting fish with dynamite.rp_photo wrote:10 years ago some hijackers managed.sjfcontrol wrote:It's really tough to stalk prey at 30000 ft traveling at 500 MPH!¿Qué? wrote:A real hunter would get closer.
