Are there special hunting packages where you'll take groups out for these hunts? Where do these hog go after the kill? To a local butcher? Food pantries? Cookouts? Yum-Yum :)
@Curling12341- Annual hunt calendar, lodging information, equipment and prices are located on our website. Hunters booking a thermal hunt with JAGER PRO are able to keep all the meat or keep what they want and we donate the rest to local families or churches. Federal U.S. Department of Agriculture regulations do not allow us to donate wild pork directly to food banks because of swine brucellosis and pseudorabies. This is the reason it is important to cook wild pork thoroughly to 160 degrees.
Guys stop saying this is is unnecessary, hogs are invasive species in the United States, please do some research. These are not wild animals, they are pigs which escaped into the wild and became feral. They cause a lot of destruction to crops and property every year, not to mention affect native species too. There is no limit on killing them since they are not supposed to be in the wild in the first place.
I bet so many people would say this is cruel, but this is awesome! nice shooting man. and btw, what gun were you using? it looked like at the end u were holding an m16 but then earlier looked like a ragular bolt rifle.
@JimyzVegas- Hell no! The thermal scopes used in this video are the same detectors used by our Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. You can only get this type of performance from a 320x240 (or higher) resolution Vanadium Oxide detector.
The 160x120 amorphous silicon detectors sold by the company in your favorites cannot pass our quality control standards. Our business competition has mistakenly killed cows at night because they failed to properly identify their target with it.
EVERYBODY WHO GOT ALL SENSITIVE OR CLAIMS ITS COWARDLY AND ALL THAT GAY SHIT IS A BIG TREE HUGGIN PUSSY. HOGS ARE WASTES OF SPACE. BLAST EM!!! NICE VIDEOS..
Okay these comments on here regarding the hog population control must be fence hunters. These animals are horrible for the native species. Wild pigs are an invasive species that kill deer, turkey, and eat the eggs of birds that are just struggling to exist. You ask any turkey hunter what he thinks of hogs and listen for the response. Nice bottom land turns to trash after these guys are done with hit. They will root out and destroy longstanding trees. Frankly they are a cancer to woodland!!
I too am a longtime hunter, this type of "Ambush" is pathetic. One day our grandchildren are going to ask why we allowed this type of "Wanton Killing". We will be our own demise along with so many other species.
@stevethul1- You are confusing the methods used to control a feral hog (invasive species) with the "ethical" methods used to control deer (game species). There is no closed season or bag limit on removing an invasive species. However, there is a legal hunting season and bag limit on all game species. Feral hogs are no different than other pests such as rats, termites and roaches. We must eradicate this crop destroying, invasive species so your grandchildren can enjoy hunting legal game species.
@stevethul1 shut up pussy, encase you didnt know they cause countless amount of property damage a year. therefore they are pest and a complete problem.
@stevethul1 "I too am a longtime hunter, this type of "Ambush" is pathetic. One day our grandchildren are going to ask why we allowed this type of "Wanton Killing". We will be our own demise along with so many other species."
You obviously have never had land over run with these pests or had to repair all the damage they do. The surest way to eradicate game species is to let feral hogs take over an area.
I´m a Hunter as well but i dont think that this is a good way to hunt this Wildboars.... so in Germany you have a litte bit more respect for these animals also as a hunter...
@vegaswarman- I have been on a German drückjagd when the Forstmeister wanted every wildschwein killed during the drive. First, a Jager "respects" the wishes of the landowner or the Forstmeister controlling the hunt or you will not be invited back to hunt again. Second, European boars are native to Germany and only produce one litter annually. Feral hogs are not native to the United States and produce five litters in two years. Our goal is to eradicate feral hogs; not protect them for hunting.
Seems to me after the first volley of shots when the pigs take a direction you could just lead out ahead of where they're going and add one more to the 2 it seems like each shooter acquires.
@brokerwebsites- The Specter IR is no longer manufactured and was only 160 x 120 resolution with large pixels and no magnification. This is old technology compared to the 384 x 288 resolution of our present thermal scopes with 12-power magnification. The Specter IR could not handle rifle recoil larger than .223 caliber either. Our new thermal scopes handle semi-automatic .308 caliber fire while shooting big 180-grain bullets. Old technology made the Specter IR obsolete. We only carry the best.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'll then go with the one you suggest. Since I will rarely use it my biggest concern with everything like this I purchase is what will happen if its sits for months and months unused in its case. With my ATN 2ND GEN scope, it degraded so badly after 8 months on the shelf I had to force them to honor a warranty that was expired by 4 months and repair the scope. It still cost me $400 in costs associated with shipping and such. I'll email you soon.
You want to call you a hunter? I'm from Germany and pursue certain principles of German hunting. Here in Germany we have respect for the animals and do not shooting at everything that moves. the bullets went in her mouth and sometimes even into the legs of the boar. that's just pathetic what you call hunting. what you do is slaughter
@vegaswarman this is different than hunting, as the video says its population control. the hogs were brought over from europe and have taken over here in the states and hunts like these dont even put a dent on the population. hog hunting is not a sport like it may be in europe its a way to help preserve your property for other wildlife such as deer and turkey, our game animals which we respect in the same ways you just expressed. do some research before you come on here saying we have no ethics.
@vegaswarman- Waidmannsheil. I spent 7 of my 24-year Army career in Germany and earned my Deutsch Jagdschein (hunting license) living in your country. It is a Jäger's (hunter's) responsibility to protect the farmer's crops. Jägers perform the same mission in Germany with with local Forstmeisters (Forester) when wildschwein (wild pig) populations became too high. A drückjagd (drive hunt) results in the same running shot placement. It is NOT pathetic. It is population control in both countries.
@vegaswarman I live here in GA the state these hogs are killed in. They are a serious problem here. I shoot them to protect our natural wildlife from these feral hogs. This is environmental protection, and not hunting. We hunt much like you do in Germany, when we hunt true game animals. Here in the states you need no papers to kill these animals. When I kill them I will donate the meat to the homeless as well. I do see why you could come to the conclusion you did not knowing how things are here.
@vegaswarman Your comments are a little harsh. Wild boars, feral pigs, etc are breeding in huge numbers in the Southeastern US! Annually cop destruction runs into tens or hundreds of millions of dollar; these animals are a terrible curse for farmers. These animals don't deserve to be "Hunted" like other noble species such as Deer or Turkey, they deserve to be eradicated . You really sound like you have no idea how destructive these pigs are.
@vegaswarman "respect" the code word used by non-hunters (mostly anti-hunters) for anything they don't understand. Do you have "respect" for the cockroaches you kill in your apartment? Rats? Ants?
Pigs are native to Europe. Not to the US. Here they are nothing but an invasive species that kill our native species. So yes, I kill them, and no, I have no "respect" for them. They are cockroaches to be exterminated.
Now grow up & learn something about a topic before you post. Verschwinde.
@vegaswarman fuck u man, hog are annoying and dangerous, here in the usa there going out of control, and yea it was a bad idea to let them go, but they eat crops and crap in ponds and rivers which causes the water unsuitable for drinking
@vegaswarman In germany you do not have the wild hog problem we have here in the states. Yes it is sad that the hog population has gone so uncontrolable that we have to use thermal scopes but hogs cause millions of dollars in damage to farm land and the population is growing so rapidly that this is literally the only solution
@vegaswarman When the HELL is the German people going to get their balls up enough to utterly decimate the american backed "german"government, EVERY inbred fatbody american 'soldier', there barracks and every last outpost the american empire has?
@MrDannees Your comments have nothing at all to do with the video. If it were up to the American people I know there would be no American soldiers in Germany.
@vegaswarman WE HAVE MORE HOGS THAN WE CAN HANDLE. THEY ARE A THREAT TO NEIGHBORHOODS AND FARMERS CROPS. THEY NEED TO BE HUNTED TO THE POINT OF EXTINCTION.
@vegaswarman These wild hogs do a tremendous amount of damage to property and crops and they are considered pests as opposed to game. Just like a mouse or rat infestation of your home that needs to be eliminated. I'm not a hunter and I'm all in favor of humane treatment of animals but it is necessary that as many of these hogs as possible be taken off the persons property. It's not an American thing it's a necessity.
@jigaboojones- The hogs in this video weighed between 284 pounds and 50 pounds. All the meat is eatable on a wild, feral pig just as any domestic pig butchered. Approximately 40% of the entire weight of an animal is eatable meat. 60% of the weight is hide, head, intestine and bone. Also, younger pigs and adult sows (females) taste better than adult boars (males) for the same reason American farmers castrate male hogs and cattle raised for human consumption. Tastes better without testosterone.
@ShutUpFoolStudios- A .308 caliber bullet (165 grain or 180 grain) is more adequate for moving targets at night. Managing recoil becomes very important for multiple follow-up shots. A semi-automatic .308 caliber rifle is our choice for feral hog control.
@ShutUpFoolStudios- We are huge fans of AR platform, semi-automatic rifles but feel the AR-15 in .223 caliber is not the most efficient bullet for hog control purposes. A .223 or 77-grain bullet is efficient for hunting purposes when taking a single shot at a standing broadside hog. However, our goal as hog control operators is to harvest every hog in the field. Most shots at moving targets are running away and requires a bigger bullet. We prefer .308 (180-grain bullets) for this purpose.
@JAGERPRO i also have a dpms panther lr308l and have been wondering how my barrel would hold up shooting that 180 grain ammo fulltime. Right now i use Hornady 165gr SST and love it. What brand of ammo do u use or is it reload to your own spec
@ShutUpFoolStudios M1A Socom, I personally use a Remington 700 but wish I had the funds for a semi auto. Sorry to get in your conversation just had to give my .2 cents.
@JAGERPRO i love this!! i dont know anything about shooting hogs/boars but i like this! i wish ALL states and /or property owners would let professionals like you go all over the US and eradicate this feral hog problem. PETA and some of these humane societies need to stop criticizing and let you guys/gals do your job! yes i'm a Liberal Democrat but common sense steps in sometimes and what i see is these pests causing BILLIONS of dollars of damage to property each year. KUDOS TO YOU!
I saw the Hog problem on the Discovery Channel, I saw your article in G&A AR 15, Magazine and I love BBQ pork, bacon and pork sausage. Now I'm trying to get my friends to save $ and take the trip with me to Jager Pro. These hogs are a nuisance to our farmers and a danger to our eco system, You Sir, are doing an excellent job.
I remember when you couldnt even get 1 GIG orf ram in your computer, now a 1gig card is like $5. One day, these scopes will be worth like $20. I wish that day was today!
I think that you're missing a high percent if first shots because you're trying for head shots or heart lung shots. Man at those distances or magnification I'd go for center mass. We usually just blast them at center mass and if close enough try for head shot but on the run center mass or flanks. Also aim higher and you'll get a lot of spine shots too. Just my observations. Keep the great videos coming.
@laengco- Feral hogs ARE NOT game animals in the United States. They are pests; just like termites, rats and roaches. We shoot high-volume numbers of feral hogs for the same reason a pest control agent kills all the pests in your house. Because they damage the landowner's property. Do not confuse the methods used to control a feral hog (invasive species) with the "fair chase" methods used to control deer (game species). There is no closed season or bag limit on removing an invasive species.
@JAGERPRO I hope you had the parts of the hogs in a tasty meal, that is the real value of hunting, not to kill the hogs and then throw them like objects.
What kind of NV scope would you recommend for .243 and a .308? My Dad and I shoot in really dense low cover. What I have to ask, is how do you get so close? do you walk with NV on? It's so hilly and uneven here, thats just asking for a broken ankle :s
@IntertubeTr0ll- We get close by putting the wind in our face and stalking quietly across open fields with our night optics. No night vision or thermal scope will identify targets in "really dense, low cover". Infrared optics need an open environment with vegetation shorter than your target, same concept as using daytime scopes. The only NV scopes we recommend are listed on our website which contain at least 64 lp/mm of resolution by providing a FOM above 1600 and a SNR above 25.
@hapelliotte I'm 16 years old and I bought my first AR-15 when I was 14. It's a 16" RRA .223 and I can drop a 300lb boar at 200 yards with it. You can drop a hog with a pellet gun as long as you're a somewhat experienced shooter and hit it right behind the ear. Sure a .308 is more effective than a .223 but it still gets the job done. I still prefer a Benelli M4 Tactical w/ 3" Magnum 000 Buckshot over an AR-10 or AR-15 anyday though.
@zPhobiaa- Do not waste your money on a $10,000 thermal scope. You will end up with a substandard 160x120 or 240x180 amorphous silicon detector with a pixal size of 38 microns (or larger) and a 25mm (or smaller) objective lens. You are able to see better at night with one of our $4,000 Gen 3 NV scopes than a $10,000 thermal scope. Minimum requirements for a quality thermal scope include: 320x240 vanadium oxide detector with a pixal size of 25 microns (or smaller) and a 60mm (or larger) lens.
ummm... you realize you shot that hog in the ass at 2:50 lol nice shooting though, searching through youtube looking for good clips of thermal vs. night vision, i think i'm going with night vision. If there is any sway to why i should go with thermal, please let me know.
These things must be shit to eat, or they would be hunted to hell. Guys jack deer all the time to eat them, but not many hunters are after these pieces of shit. In New Zealand they consider feral hogs UNFIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. I see lots of vids of people shooting them, but I don't see any vids of people cooking, and eating them. Anybody know the truth??? Are they stinking scum to eat??? With the price of meat and the economy, why aren't they hunted to hell and eaten????
@RandomMaDNESS911- Hunting hogs in Georgia with suppressors is not legal via the hunting regulation. We have tested suppressors on feral hogs and it does NOT give the hunter any advantage. The hogs still run out of the field when a subsonic bullet impacts another hog. They won't just stand there and let you shoot the entire group with a suppressed rifle. Hogs are very intelligent. Subsonic bullets shot through a suppressor are too slow to be effective and will not cycle a semi-automatic rifle.
@halodesolate- This is not a hobby or sport for us. Our company has four retired Soldiers who perform hog hunting and hog control services as a full-time business. We switched from a two-legged enemy to a four-legged invasive species when we retired using the same methods and technology we used in combat. We own 10 AR semi-automatic rifles in .308 caliber topped with these thermal scopes to harvest 1,000 feral hogs annually. Our equipment is a business expense and pays for itself.
this pigs are making a mess out of cropps,just shoot aws much as u can! and after we deal with pigs we must begein to shoot those who are in government!
Odinese reminds me of an account of a person who thought because squirrels are small "cute, and furry, they are tame and tried to pick one up simply because it came so close being fed in the Park. The little fucker tore a chunk out of the man's "webbing" between his thumb and forefinger. Hopefully, Odinese has a chance encounter with a cougar or a feral hog on a nature path and finds out how tame they are 1st hand.
@bronzesel- I'll respond since you are a hunter from the United States and should know better than to make ignorant statements. Obviously, you don't live in a farming community which loses fifteen thousand dollars annually to feral hogs. The hunters in this video harvest over 1,000 hogs each year to help local farmers limit their crop damage. How can the hunters be trespassing if the farmers invite them onto their property? The hunters are performing a much needed hog control service.
@JAGERPRO I'm not going to argue with you where I live, thats pointless. Sorry if I wasn't clear on my post. I was speaking of the farmers who allows hog hunters with dogs knowing they are going to trespass onto adjoining property. You forget about the adjoining landowners that have cattle, goats, free range chickens,etc. This is putting their animals at risk. This is the "slob" hunter that gives hunters a bad name.
@Scrap5000 Obivioulsy I'm dealing with people here who can't seem to comprehend what I'm saying or maybe I didn't make myself CLEAR. I have NO problem with the hunting of these hogs. I was stating that where I live there isn't the problem with the hogs tearing up the fields "BECAUSE OF THE HUNTING" It helps control the population. But, I get attacked by this "person" and you. I had a friends prize bull get attacked by hog dogs. They had to put it down. That is a problem! When hog dog trespass.
@bronzesel Well, your first comment didn't state that; your second comment did, and by the time I saw t I had already replied to the first, and wasn't about to post another comment. Why didn't you just state it in your first comment, anyway?
Anyways, yes, dogss attacking domestics is very, very bad; I agree. The dog owners should be held liable for any damages they incur...
@Scrap5000 I thought I did state that in the first comment. I was trying to say it without running out of the "characters remaining" . Lol, I guess I didn't do a very good job. So, I have now removed the first comment :)
@bronzesel LOL, sorry man, didn't mean to make you do that...hell, we're on the same side, after all...
How are your hunts going, are you guys bagging a lot of boars, keeping them under control? I know they are a menace, but I wish we had them here, WITHOUT their destructive properties, of course, so that we could hunt them too...so much more exciting than deer...and tastier, too!
Maybe if you guys used silencers you would be posting "26 hogs in one night" rather than your "13". Still nice equipment for civilians, I Wonder if you can stalk Grizzly in the dead of night with that?

Yes it is sad that the hog population has gone so uncontrolable that we have to use thermal scopes but hogs cause millions of dollars in damage to farm land and the population is growing so rapidly that this is literally the only solution

@vegaswarman WE HAVE MORE HOGS THAN WE CAN HANDLE. THEY ARE A THREAT TO NEIGHBORHOODS AND FARMERS CROPS. THEY NEED TO BE HUNTED TO THE POINT OF EXTINCTION.
AntaresInScorpius 2 months ago
@vegaswarman These wild hogs do a tremendous amount of damage to property and crops and they are considered pests as opposed to game. Just like a mouse or rat infestation of your home that needs to be eliminated. I'm not a hunter and I'm all in favor of humane treatment of animals but it is necessary that as many of these hogs as possible be taken off the persons property. It's not an American thing it's a necessity.

Just saw an article related to this.
I've never been hunting so I have a couple of questions.
How much do those pigs weigh?
And how much of that meat is eatable?
Thanks.
jigaboojones 5 months ago
@jigaboojones- The hogs in this video weighed between 284 pounds and 50 pounds. All the meat is eatable on a wild, feral pig just as any domestic pig butchered. Approximately 40% of the entire weight of an animal is eatable meat. 60% of the weight is hide, head, intestine and bone. Also, younger pigs and adult sows (females) taste better than adult boars (males) for the same reason American farmers castrate male hogs and cattle raised for human consumption. Tastes better without testosterone.

Would a Remington .357 magnum be allitle much for hogs?
ShutUpFoolStudios 6 months ago
@ShutUpFoolStudios- A .308 caliber bullet (165 grain or 180 grain) is more adequate for moving targets at night. Managing recoil becomes very important for multiple follow-up shots. A semi-automatic .308 caliber rifle is our choice for feral hog control.
JAGERPRO 6 months ago
@JAGERPRO What would you suggest?
ShutUpFoolStudios 6 months ago
@ShutUpFoolStudios- Either a DPMS Panther Arms LR308L or a Remington R-25; both in .308 caliber.
JAGERPRO 6 months ago
@JAGERPRO Are you a fan of the AR-15?
ShutUpFoolStudios 6 months ago
@ShutUpFoolStudios- We are huge fans of AR platform, semi-automatic rifles but feel the AR-15 in .223 caliber is not the most efficient bullet for hog control purposes. A .223 or 77-grain bullet is efficient for hunting purposes when taking a single shot at a standing broadside hog. However, our goal as hog control operators is to harvest every hog in the field. Most shots at moving targets are running away and requires a bigger bullet. We prefer .308 (180-grain bullets) for this purpose.

iLoveMyGun89 6 months ago
I think that you're missing a high percent if first shots because you're trying for head shots or heart lung shots. Man at those distances or magnification I'd go for center mass. We usually just blast them at center mass and if close enough try for head shot but on the run center mass or flanks. Also aim higher and you'll get a lot of spine shots too. Just my observations. Keep the great videos coming.
bordercollie1961 6 months ago
@bordercollie1961 you want hart or lung shots for hunting
gut shots wreck the meat and do not allow a quick kill
the types of shots your talking about are for 2 legged targets well the spine shot works for hunting but its a hard one to make
camerl2009 6 months ago
which is the need to hunt that amount of hogs?
laengco 6 months ago
@laengco- Feral hogs ARE NOT game animals in the United States. They are pests; just like termites, rats and roaches. We shoot high-volume numbers of feral hogs for the same reason a pest control agent kills all the pests in your house. Because they damage the landowner's property. Do not confuse the methods used to control a feral hog (invasive species) with the "fair chase" methods used to control deer (game species). There is no closed season or bag limit on removing an invasive species.

@JAGERPRO I hope you had the parts of the hogs in a tasty meal, that is the real value of hunting, not to kill the hogs and then throw them like objects.

What kind of NV scope would you recommend for .243 and a .308? My Dad and I shoot in really dense low cover. What I have to ask, is how do you get so close? do you walk with NV on? It's so hilly and uneven here, thats just asking for a broken ankle :s
IntertubeTr0ll 6 months ago
@IntertubeTr0ll- We get close by putting the wind in our face and stalking quietly across open fields with our night optics. No night vision or thermal scope will identify targets in "really dense, low cover". Infrared optics need an open environment with vegetation shorter than your target, same concept as using daytime scopes. The only NV scopes we recommend are listed on our website which contain at least 64 lp/mm of resolution by providing a FOM above 1600 and a SNR above 25.

why in the hell someone would use a 223 on a 300lb hog is beyond me.
hapelliotte 7 months ago
@hapelliotte I'm 16 years old and I bought my first AR-15 when I was 14. It's a 16" RRA .223 and I can drop a 300lb boar at 200 yards with it. You can drop a hog with a pellet gun as long as you're a somewhat experienced shooter and hit it right behind the ear. Sure a .308 is more effective than a .223 but it still gets the job done. I still prefer a Benelli M4 Tactical w/ 3" Magnum 000 Buckshot over an AR-10 or AR-15 anyday though.

@JAGERPRO Do ya'll have any other thermal scopes available for around $10,000?
zPhobiaa 7 months ago
@zPhobiaa- Do not waste your money on a $10,000 thermal scope. You will end up with a substandard 160x120 or 240x180 amorphous silicon detector with a pixal size of 38 microns (or larger) and a 25mm (or smaller) objective lens. You are able to see better at night with one of our $4,000 Gen 3 NV scopes than a $10,000 thermal scope. Minimum requirements for a quality thermal scope include: 320x240 vanadium oxide detector with a pixal size of 25 microns (or smaller) and a 60mm (or larger) lens.

These things must be shit to eat, or they would be hunted to hell. Guys jack deer all the time to eat them, but not many hunters are after these pieces of shit. In New Zealand they consider feral hogs UNFIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. I see lots of vids of people shooting them, but I don't see any vids of people cooking, and eating them. Anybody know the truth??? Are they stinking scum to eat??? With the price of meat and the economy, why aren't they hunted to hell and eaten????

@RandomMaDNESS911- Hunting hogs in Georgia with suppressors is not legal via the hunting regulation. We have tested suppressors on feral hogs and it does NOT give the hunter any advantage. The hogs still run out of the field when a subsonic bullet impacts another hog. They won't just stand there and let you shoot the entire group with a suppressed rifle. Hogs are very intelligent. Subsonic bullets shot through a suppressor are too slow to be effective and will not cycle a semi-automatic rifle.

We own 10 AR semi-automatic rifles in .308 caliber topped with these thermal scopes to harvest 1,000 feral hogs annually. Our equipment is a business expense and pays for itself.

The little fucker tore a chunk out of the man's "webbing" between his thumb and forefinger. Hopefully, Odinese has a chance encounter with a cougar or a feral hog on a nature path and finds out how tame they are 1st hand.

@bronzesel- I'll respond since you are a hunter from the United States and should know better than to make ignorant statements. Obviously, you don't live in a farming community which loses fifteen thousand dollars annually to feral hogs. The hunters in this video harvest over 1,000 hogs each year to help local farmers limit their crop damage. How can the hunters be trespassing if the farmers invite them onto their property? The hunters are performing a much needed hog control service.
JAGERPRO 11 months ago 37
@JAGERPRO I'm not going to argue with you where I live, thats pointless. Sorry if I wasn't clear on my post. I was speaking of the farmers who allows hog hunters with dogs knowing they are going to trespass onto adjoining property. You forget about the adjoining landowners that have cattle, goats, free range chickens,etc. This is putting their animals at risk. This is the "slob" hunter that gives hunters a bad name.
