Hunting Invasive Wild Hogs From an AIRBOAT!

[@MrRebar15]

*Falling Tide TV* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

[@davidbabin387]

Here in Southeast Louisiana we are a Delta! That means we loose a magnitude of land just by the tidal movement. These invasive species add to the errosian of our marsh land by digging up roots, which somewhat hold our marshes together, and populate at an astrological rate. I do know it would seem to be inhumane, but this just must be done if only to curb the population. I do know that much of the US is trying to erradicate the feral hog population due to the incompatibility between the hogs, and deer. Nutria, and Feral Hogs are a big problem here in the Delta area of Louisiana. Nate, your video was very good, and your message very strong. Thanks for sharing. Be Safe, and God Bless!

[@fallingtidetv]

Thanks my friend

[@antonhuman8446]

David Babin. Thank you for your comment! I am commenting from 10,000 miles afar. But. Have made quite a study of the feral pig problem. In the USA. And Canada. And can attest. It is enormous. Also noted. That, Bar a lot of flashy and big talk. Do State Governments not give a horse's arse about the environment. Farming losses. Human concerns. Neither the vivid possibility of the spread of African Swine Fever. They don’t see e.g. “Since China’s first reported case of ASF in August 2018, the province has spread to every province in China, and beyond its borders. The government has thus far reported 137 outbreaks, but according to numerous farmers, many more are going unreported. Something like 50% of sows are dead, Said Edgar Wayne Johnson, a veterinarian and founder of Enable……… In Shandong, the 4th largest pig raising province in China, more that half of farms with large numbers of sows are now empty.” www.pigprogress.net/health-nutrition/asf-china-an-underestimated-crisis/ China exports pork globally. Is every such carcass ASF free??? I lost a total piggery through another virus. And therefore. Would dearly assist in averting a catastrophe. I contacted the two top State Government Officials. And the top man in the USDA-WS in Texas. Informing them that I offer consultancy to address. Amongst other. Feral pig number reduction. In a magnitude. Yet unknown to, and unimplemented by mankind. The one commented, in person, via telephone call. “I have no interest!” From the other. Not a squeak. Many other were people who should be concerned and take note. Were informed. Are, as well, not concerned about this very issue. Shockingly alarming. Is it. Regarding eradication. I honestly do not see it as a reachable goal. But. Ruthlessly addressing the problem. Is to my mind. And what is on offer. A cheap. Real cost-effective. Effective reachable goal, requiring the minimum human input, is what I suggest. Because trapping. With a truly brilliant newer design. Helps. Also shooting. But in relation to the population growth. One man’s breath in a cyclone.

Well said at the end of the video. We deal with the same problem up here in MD with the snakeheads. Great video.

Dude two of the coolest hobbies combined into one.

[@SirBoden]

I remember going out in the 70s doing exactly the same thing not far from there. Keep up the good work.

[@CatFarmAgriculture]

Pinpoint accuracy, each shot a testament to your skill.

[@Clancy2105]

Dude y’all are awesome. Good work. Up date us on what y’all did with the piglets.

[@terryporche9059]

Pulled pork on Sunday dinner menu. JOB WELL DONE.

[@kdkulhanek]

Shotkam giving you some awesome footage - loving the new style content

[@H.B.Fishing.]

Our farmer shoots them out of helicopters. The pigs ripped the brand new barbed wire off the wooden pole they had just put up. Big problem here in Texas also. Cool video though.

[@wildwoodie5670]

Well done. Had not realized that they were an issue in LA.

[@bobgiles2971]

Incredible video hard to believe how much damage they can do WOW

[@MrMcQueen_01]

You should see what they do to a more dry place like Texas. A whole 50 acre plot absolutely destroyed in one night. It’s absolutely insane.

[@n.z33]

Agree with you brother. If the wiled native lives disappear from there it will never come back while these pigs are all over the United States and they increase rapidly... You did great, you saved the living for the farmer, the economy of the area, the wild life there, etc

[@danielgc1970]

They are out of control. And nothing else will ever make a dent in the problem. Got to limit the damage. Thanks for the video.

[@quacky8791]

Great video . Must be almost time to go back w step dad and the buckets for catfish

[@TheFoodieEmperor]

Well done guys! How much is a Hoghunt? Looks like a great boy's trip adventure. With some good eats and helping the environment

[@glenntoups4615]

What size shot does it take to bring down a hog? Great video on pig patrol

[@randybeard6040]

Double 00 Buck Shot I suppose...Many use 22 Magnums..

[@kerryarbuckle15]

Need a trip like this family love wild hogs

[@errolsigue4419]

Y'all left some nice hog meat

[@FarmerFpv]

I caught 4 feral hog piglets that size. I have had them for 6 years now, and they are friendly as heck. I was going to raise them and eat them but they ended up being my pets and hand out with my dogs. When I bring back some hogs after a hunt they are ready to eat some bacon, too. They think they are dogs, they don't act like pigs.😂

[@valnpaulvanorden]

I believe it is Highly ILLEGAL. To TRANSPORT FERAL HOGS OR PIGLETS ANY AGE, ALL STATES!! LOOK IT UP.

[@CS-xo4kh]

Good job ! Excellent video, I want to help.

[@cajunmoose4458]

I’ll come out there and help. I live in St. Amant, LA.

[@tristonaverette2103]

got a spot in chalmette we need your buddy at with that airboat

[@ethancazayoux8330]

Awesome video!

[@Godgifts28]

Looks like you guys having a time

[@Bahamascottoutdoors]

Catching bacon seeds! Epic!

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

great hunt guys!! loved it...

[@Aidyn_Sakhanov]

Cool I never had seen like that before .thanks for your efforts Good luck 👍

[@antonhuman8446]

A little noisy. But for practicality. Full marks! +4. Regards. RSA.

[@adamspaur6146]

Awesome video keep it up! What shotgun and ammo did you use?

[@paulmeek7964]

How much is a trip of hunting and fishing for 3

[@fallingtidetv]

@paulmeek7964 call zach

[@Willyboy283]

Hey guys , it’s possible to hunt the wild boar during the night in Louisiana ? Like Texas ? All the best from France 🇫🇷💪🏼🇺🇸

[@MrJohnverkerk]

That air boat looks awesome. But are there crocodiles in that water? Are they a problem? Is that a shot gun you are using? If so what pallet size? Do you have organized hunting for tourists?

[@jodydurant8315]

Nate! Wouldn’t those piglets have to have more meat than a squirrel? I get the fattening them up but it looked like you had a surplus! I understand the bigger ones aren’t as good to eat but I think I’d be trying everything under the sun. Crab bait even? Nice job and looks like a good time.

[@fallingtidetv]

We tried to give them away. I personally don’t have the space to store that many. Feel free to call Zach if you want to get some hogs from him.

[@jodydurant8315]

Washington State would be a long drive. Lol. I am just envious and curious and I certainly don’t mean to sound critical. We just don’t have the kind of opportunity that you do. I love foraging and wild game and your videos are right up my alley. :)

[@FarmerFpv]

​@@fallingtidetv I make dog food with all the hogs I shoot. I bought a freeze-dryer to make dried food for the dogs. Just add water and it's like pork stew and they lap it right up. You can also freeze dry candy with it. Freeze-dried Skittles are delicious. The dogs love freeze-dried pork. I sell a bunch of it to other ranchers for their dogs.

[@fallingtidetv]

@FarmerFpv that’s a good idea

[@andreagoolsby5688]

love the content man god bless!

[@jamesknotts8029]

I hog hunt with cur dogs in Florida and it's sad we're losing spots to hunt instead of gaining spots to hunt but yet everybody cries that there's a hog problem.

[@LoriBurris-vq4fc]

In texas our hog problem is absolutely terrible

[@timwilhelmson8707]

i liked it but can you use the meat or give to a food pantry's

[@thomasfraino4253]

Love the video Bro keep up the good work saving the marsh 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@MikeReader21]

Good video. Do yall pick up all the pigs you shoot?

[@fallingtidetv]

As long as we have someone to bring them to

[@jacquesb8927]

Great video. The numbers you are dealing with are astronomical. Why not initiate a program with the military or National Guard where they get to practice their gunnery skills, in large groups and at regular intervals? A hunter's knowledge coupled with military tactics should have a bigger impact.

[@marshmellow3110]

I do this in the Louisiana marsh. It doesn’t get much better. We can sink the boat in 30 minutes

[@marktrepagnier3775]

Never apologize for doing the right thing is a moto that I live by. I duck hunt in an area that has been devastated by the nutria and hogs.

[@dn-bh4cm]

i dont know about louisiana but in fla you dont shoot hogs from moving vehicles

[@taylorbernard8497]

I do like it and the video keep it up .

[@charlesgillette2925]

A problem we made. Got to do something to fix it. This is one of the problems that will never go away.

[@chrisallison4436]

I’d like to come join you on a hunt. I lived in Slidell for about 10 years then moved back to northern bama biggest mistake ever. I’ll put you on a duck hunt or good deer hunt if you wanna come up here as well

[@joegodina1738]

What shots were you using for the shotgun and what choke? Awesome video 👍🏽

[@fallingtidetv]

[@joegodina1738]

I’m going to try that next time, thanks brother and stay safe👍🏽

[@noahvail4675]

We need to be kept updated on the piglets haha

[@fallingtidetv]

🤣 gonna be bacon

[@isiah_montoya9701]

Yal gotta give updates on the piglets that was badass

[@fallingtidetv]

Bacon in a few months lol

[@granitegobbler95]

Are you guys allowed to keep the piglets until they grow for bacon?

[@fallingtidetv]

I have not idea but no one’s gonna come arrest us for it I can promise you 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@mikes9759]

​@@fallingtidetvNot arresting you yet! We all know how shit happens!

I don’t have them lol

bro that free meat for weeks...woooooooooo

[@MarkCadwallader-v5o]

That looked like a blast, i wish i could have been there just so i could have packed home 4 or 5 hundred pounds of pork.

[@kevinsloan3019]

Until people see the damage in person they don't understand just yesterday we were driving a friends property here in Oklahoma and there was acres of destroyed graze that we seeded last yr and it gets worse every day!!!

Keep up the work don't fret the whiners They are the reason our country is in the shape/condition it is now!;!

[@FIELD2FREEZER]

Have you ever heard of the theory, to leave the big sows and shoot the rest?

[@fallingtidetv]

Never

[@FIELD2FREEZER]

@fallingtidetv when I was stationed in Germany, I took the German hunter safety class. It was way more in depth than any of our US courses. A lot of their views and theories, I did not agree with. But there were quite a few that opened my eyes. Not sure if it's factually true or not, but they claim it to be true, and teach to NOT shoot the big sows bc if you do, all of the remaining females will go into heat at once. Thus creating more breeding. Almost like the big female in the heard is "the alpha". Her "cycle" (menstruating cycle) goes in effect whenever it normal does and in the process, the rest of the female's cycle are kept dormant. But once the big lead female is killed, all the rest immediately go into heat, like a pecking order for the next lead female. And during this process, they all get bred causing a spike in population. Again.... I'm no scientist and I can't guarantee that this info is accurate. But this is what Europe believes, and they've had pig problems much longer than we have. Regardless, BBQ pulled pork is amazing and I bet you had an awesome meal with that little booger you kept. Great video.

[@davidcarter999]

I would love the chance to do that

Oh we will lol

[@georgeharutunian9419]

VERY GOOD

[@adamcarmichael4881]

Contact your Parish Soil and Water Conservation District SWCD and see if they have a pig brig you can rent. Saint Mary Parish has two. They work great.

[@paytonadams2452]

whats a pig brig.... i live in Saint Mary and havent heard about it

[@chrisrosenthal1210]

@@paytonadams2452 Google it. They're expensive to buy, but the best system I've used in 35+ years of trapping them. Older breeding age hogs get pretty trap shy. If you put enough bait in the pig brig, the reluctant ones will stand back and watch the others eat until they finally go in themselves. It also catches them continuously unlike other triggered traps that only catch what's inside one time. I've caught multiple from one sounder then caught more hours later.

None of us have room in our freezer and we live in a day and age where people would rather buy from the store than eat wild game. We tried to give them away but no one wanted them. At the end of the day they have to be thinned out whether we are eating them or not.
