you guys make valid points! Its not a sporting way to hunt, not by any stretch of the imagination.
That is 1 thing that the Pigman usually states before this kind of program....
"this is not a fair chase segment...this is not a hunting show, this is an eradication show...ect" he admits its not sporting, but when he does the Aporkalypose show, its not suppose to be, he has built an empire trying to eradicate the hogs of texas by filming his hunts (the majority of them with normal hunting practices, some dogs involved) and he has found a niche with heli-hunts. they do retrieve all the hogs and say that the majority of them are donated....how many, i dont know, what happens to the rest, i dont know.
Its a normal hunting show, but once a year he does an all out, guns blazing, large group eradication hunt. I think the first show a few years ago, him and uncle ted, between the 2 of them shot over 400 hogs in 2 days....for 2 guys to do that, i would say some extreme measures need to be taken...
but thats just my opinion, and it is pretty awesome to watch.
if anybody wants to see episodes from the past few years, they are on you tube.
