Quite honestly guys those hogs acted like domestic pigs that are used to daily human contact. Just farm hogs turned loose in the timber. Hogs that are 2 or 3 generations feral are truly wild and way more cautious of humans. It's not often that feral hogs won't break and run at the first sight or smell of humans.
You try to run carrying that much junk.
its a canned hunt, not going to find a hog that big elsewhere especially in hard scrabble areas
true wild hogs are just as likely to attack.
I was about to say the same thing. These are overfed, domesticated pig/hog hybrids... not much of a real hunt
They were domestics note floppy ears, short snout and head, coloration.
I live in East Tennessee and am well aware of this place. It's a high fence hog farm. These guys are basically shooting domesticated pigs.
That sucks
I cull farmed wild boar in the UK, the woodland gives away that they are in an enclosure.
😅😅 this cracked me up
931 is Middle TN. Whereabouts you at?
@@PepperDarlington Knox County
Never seen a wild hog let a person get so close without running away or attacking.
The ones in Texas are no joke.
No shit...probably bought at the fair.
@@WaitAMinute1989 these guy are total poons. We knife hunt with dogs here in tx. Hand to hand we don't shoot...inlesss I'm baiting them in for a tanerite bomb. Those are fun.
@@ForceMultiplier it's a canned hunt. Basically a live grocery store with guns
@@KarklinPumpkin ya that’s all it is I went cause I want a big a ram and was extremely disappointed cause ik it was a canned hunt but I thought it would be more of a hunt nah their catering to the first time hunters and that’s it iv never felt so wrong to say we went hunting
Man I never thought I’d see you guys hunting farm animals. This is a bad image for true hunting.
I don't think this video is about true hunting. It's about having bacon in your freezer
You have NO idea how destructive they are. Go jump in front of one, see what they can do.
@@johnzimmerman1717 well no shit, the wild ones.. Unlike the ones in the video.
@@johnzimmerman1717 i got chased by one when I was 14
Out in my parts when we go hogzilla hunting we head to the local bars!
You savage... take your like!
Sad 😔 but true on both sides.
That statement is true, ESPECIALLY up here in Massachusetts, where even looking at the weapons used in this video will get you State prison time. So goes the State who brought you Lexington and Concord back in the Day....
Hoggin’ and heiferin’ sounds like my kind of party
These hogs don't smell as bad.
Hate to burst your bubble, but these aren't wild hogs. They go to the livestock sale and buys the ugliest hogs there and then turn them loose.
no there are wild hogs just trapped and fed out for awhile, all high fence guys do it but yes not really hunting just like the bullshit high fence pen raised whitetails
Any "guided hog hunt" is like that. There are several places here in Texas like that. On my families property we have tons of real feral hogs. The will run at first sight or smell of a human. These pigs didn't seem to be scared of people. Probably because that means they are fed by people. Not to shit on these guys. If your after the monsters that's the only way they get this big. I've been chasing after them my whole life and they just don't get that big in the wild. They have to be lean enough to run in the wild.
@@illinidave I know some places do that, but I live just a few miles from this place. This place and several other "hunting lodges" nearby all do this same thing.
@@JLGreen-uu1ze I live close to it too, knew a few guys in high school that worked there. And yeah, not much of a real hunt there, not to knock them, but not my taste by far.
Fake as hell
Ya, that was some tough huntin, man, I hope you guys had a right proper recovery period from that strenuous back yard hunt.
I didn't realize that wild hogs can get as big as these HOGZILLAS. I am ran up on some feral hogs while I was hiking in some foot mountains in Georgia. I believe it was about 12 of them walking along the side of the mountain. I fired a couple shots from my Glock 40 caliber pistol to scare them off. Thankfully they didn't come after me because I heard they can be aggressive.
These are domestic pigs on a fenced property.
can we just say, this was weird af to watch. Borderline uncomfortable
These hogs are so massive, I would imagine that they were domestic farm animals that were let loose recently.
If I heard correctly is 1000 acre area contained so they are semi domestic but still let wild in that area
Yeah.. It's almost like going to the store and picking out which one you want. It's not exactly "hunting" -- harvesting is a much better word.. But it's not like they are getting free meat. I would bet a trip like this costs $1200 at least-- even though you are going home with 400lbs of meat.
I heard they’re 2nd generation wild. Thats why they still resemble domestic hogs.
@@calholli canned hunts.
Those big saddlebacks are domestic bred pig let loose.
Property fenced in to keep them available. More than likely get handouts to keep them fat and healthy.
Wild pigs move around and travel a lot. they go looking for easy feed.
The balls on those hoggs
These look a lot like domestic pigs to me….and I’ve seen a ton of feral hogs down here in Texas!
Yea we dont have the wild hogs yall got in TX. The largest population of wild pests we have over here is Coyotes, and they hardly ever come into populated areas. We probably got a larger dear population over here. But yall got the good pest hunting that I want to come over there and get in on.
Life-long resident of South Houston mountain range in Bristol, TN. I’ve never encountered a wild hog. Those in your video sure looked like pigs we raised on our farm!
I'm originally from Bristol, got lots of family still up that way. Beautiful area especially up in the hills.
I live in Chattanooga, and I've only seen a few wild hogs.
We have them in mountain city but not common. Gotta go more south east tennessee.
Because this is a 1000 acre pig farm
I don't know if I really consider this hunting. More like shooting fish in a barrel
yeah they ship these hogs in from the state fair. They probably think youre going to feed them. lmao
No it’s hunting just made easy. They where smart to pick a populated area that’s all
So what? Invasive, destructive...eliminated.
@@warrenrosen2326 humans are pests too. Remember that.
@@NoNo_IStay works just as well on two legged pests as four legged.
Nothing wrong with this...but are the words "wild" and "hunt" appropriate for this? They look like they came from a petting zoo.
Rinella would not approve. Haha
When you hunt real wild hogs they cover some COUNTRY when you get within a 100 yards. They are sharp, fast, athletic, spooky, cautious animals.
This looks fun, but its basically a more complex trip to the store for bacon.
Lol facts…”petting zoo” lol. Nothing wrong with it but a little too easy for me
When that one hog looked him in the eye, a wild one would've hunted him. Not the other way around.
They acted like Babe's parents.
@@NoNo_IStay Babe's parents lol. Agreed.
Well put
Would they really charge you ?
In my country hog hunting is hell dangerous because the beasts may charge at you at ease. The reliable semi-auto and a brave buddy in sight are a must.
You can feed a domestic hog to weight well over 500 pounds. Which is what these hog are. Very seldom do you find a wild hod weighing that much. And hogs have very impressive nose, they can smell very well. Even when they are eating corn.
Them are stock hogs definitely haven't been wild for more that a week
Hampshire show pigs. Smh
I know right!! I used to kinda like them guys too!!
It's only on about 1000 acres, fenced in. They're essentially domestic.
You can walk up and pet those “hogs”
You really could. They have better sense of eyesight than Eric gave them credit for in this video, and an excellent sense of smell too. Like others in this section said, they very much look like domestic pigs that were used to human contact and either recently escaped or were let loose. No elongated, skinnier snout, not as thick coats, and abnormally large for feral pigs
The only reason they could get so close to the pigs is because they're domestic pigs not wild and pigs have great eye sight these pig's stood there cause they're used to humans feeding them wild hogs are always on edge and in a heightened state these pig's were grazing like cow's do
Even a blind person with no hands could kill a hog at that place 😂
One of those pigs saw you and started wagging it’s tail, like it expected you to give him some treats.
Rilfe setup: $ 3000
Side x Side: $ 22,000
Anti fog glasses wipes: Priceless
Don't forget the $1200 it costs for the privilege to hunt.
@@ethand3577 That may be... but where these guys went, it costs $1200 per hog and even more for deer.
omfg had to see if somone said something
"hunting" on a preserve is literally fish in a barrel.
If it’s not hunting then what is it
@@squidy4082 most call it harvesting when doing that. Wild hogs are a lot more dangerous and well… wild. And don’t have clipped tusks.
@@masterhelijettester ahh I didn’t know about the tusks, thanks
@@squidy4082 harvesting.. You could go on a farm and "Hunt" a cow too.. but no one would call that hunting.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s a great video showing off the rifles and what they are capable of. Would like Eric to show the actual wound channel and ballistics on these.
The good news for them is that these pigs will probably taste better at that size because in my experience the larger/older the wild ones are don’t taste as well without a lot of work.
About 40-60 lb is good BBQing size.
...amazing how you could walk up on them that close in daylight..
3:56 "Not in the balls" LOLOLOLOLOLOL
The hogs acted like domestic hogs.
That's because they are.
100% domestic hogs
It’s just like walking out on a farm and shooting a pig. No fun.
They are.. these were pets..
That's some of the saddest "hunting" I've ever seen tbh.
NO sport in it.
NO way a wild hog LETS a human get that close in a hard scrubbed forest.
Would they charge the shooter ?
@@squidy4082 They will...but Not usually. Real wild hogs are more likely to boogie to the next county as soon as they get a sense they arent alone. They are amazing athletes
@@joemo1033 I guess it’s always smart to carry a handgun for sure, but I wonder what would happen if a lot started to charge towards you , crazy deadly and disgusting animals
No way I would take an animal that can't get away and is fenced-in. They acted like they were tame.
@@squidy4082 As I understand it, some well armored large breed dogs and a large caliber pistol are standard gear for hog hunters, for the potential eventuality of being charged.
The crazy thing is that I live in East TN and I didnt even know this place existed. I just looked it up and was floored by their prices. Free lodging and meals for the wife and kids, for 3 days. I know where my next vacation is gonna be. The wife may not like it as much as me, but I gotta do it.
So you like hunting farm animals do you cause them pigs were domesticated
7.62 x 51 is wicked powerful.
7.62 x 54 literally spits fire and can break shoulders.
Two of those are regular hampshires lmao. Even the pigs at our barn are more wary of humans than that
Exactly.
You should do a follow-up that shows the paper wrapped meat, like the total sum you get from the butcher from the hog, curious to see what you get from 500lbs of hog.
mature male hog..........pretty unyummie!
taste like DEF n crap!
✌😁
300lbs of shit.
You want the small pigs. After 150ish there nothing but fat.
I shot a 600lb hog from spartan preserve and I got arround 230-250 lbs of meat. The hogs are called Dosoto's and have more bone than meat as they are not a farm pig.
@@mrrod3004 not true....The meat has been just fine from the one I got and he was a 5-6 year old pig off this farm.
I wouldn't call that hunting. You drove in in a 4 wheeler. The woods were cleared of underbrush, the leaves were even gone. You could see for 100 yards. That's not the way woodland is in the east. You might as well been in a barnyard.
I don't know the 308 was dropping hogs pretty easily. When you shot the 762 the hog literally went running but the 308 was dropping them without incident 308 won
This is exactly what I was thinking. The .308 dropped both of those hogs in their tracks. The 7.62x54R the Hog suffered for a bit. That's what I saw anyway so not sure what he was talking about. Also, It looks like the .308 rounds had pass throughs, which I find to be good because you are for sure tearing up flesh all the way through and as long as you had good expansion and energy transfer on the way that is what counts.
Now that chads hair is reaching its full potential he’s starting to look like a chad.
LOL!
I'd recognize that guitar tone anywhere. Nice pickin' Eric....
Quite good! loved it!
I would like to watch a video of him playing, I’m trying to get that country blues sound myself!
Yeah.. The man can play-- he has another channel just about guitars
@@calholli which is...?😏 lol
@@dehydratedrhombus2473 Guitarsenal
They say they are on a hunting preserve and people are still expecting them to stalk and hunt wild animals lol
I wouldn't call my self a hunter or even show my face lol
Had to shake a bucket of corn for these ones to come in didn’t you 😂😂😂
xD
This isn't hunting, this is what people who can't hunt do.
The perfect ending for hunting hogzilla is cooking hogzilla.
Two Hampshire boars and a spot cross. Those are definitely domestic boars bought off a farm or from an auction. Pigs didn't even move when they spotted you. Probably thought you were bringing feed to them.
I worked on a Iowa hog farm when I was in high-school.......those looked just like the boars we used for heat check
Eric had enough glass to make that shot at 1000 yards! lol that looked like a lot of fun.
That’s a good hunt! I personally hunt hogs with a 16” barrel ar-10 chambered is .308. I have shot hundreds of rounds at the range narrowing down the most accurate brands, and shot many pigs to find the best performing round. The Hornady superformance 165gr SST will drop them like a sack of potatoes. The Hornady whitetail 165gr interlock runs a close second but doesnt quite as flat or as fast.
Love how Eric's glasses got a big ole smudge so he looks like Bubbles outa Trailer Park Boys.
i always wondered why after a good shot everybody whispers. your cover is already blown.
So you hunted a hog farm You guys are the stuff Hunters make jokes from !
"...confined to a thousand acres." Love the perspective!
Lmao… my man is holding a cannon in his hands and said he has to be careful because the hogs have teeth. Hilarious 😂 😂😂
Those are domestic species, not wild boar.
Same species. Hogs turn “wild” in a few generations.
@@iansmith8944 Poodles and German Shepherds are both dogs but they are as much the same as these hogs and wild boar are.
Why don't you just leave a feed trail and make them come to you and call it hunting... 😂
The only man who can out talk keith warren
Tune in next week we’ll be Monkey hunting in a zoo and finally going on a trophy bass fishing trip at the Cabelas Aquarium.
That PSL made my day. In regards to the hogs, those are still kittens, compared to what we have in Romania 🐗
The ones in the US are really just feral hogs. The ones in Romania are truly Wild.
That said, these are Appalachian hogs - the ones in Texas/Oklahoma/Louisiana can get much, much bigger.
Even the ones here in Turkey will attack and gore you if you get close enough.
I've only seen hogs like those at the farm. Our hogs in Texas will kill your dogs and you if they make it to you.
@@slippinclippin1859 Yeah people do shoot them here all the time but they go deeper into the mountains and breed like crazy. You can look it up on youtube.
@@davidweaver1782 those are truly scary hogs. When they feel there is no escape, they charge you.
Come on !...Wild Hogs???....You could have had those running up to you if you had a bucket of corn!🤣 ..That forest floor there is picked bare too.....It's a Fenced in Property isn't it.....
They say it is about a thousand acres fenced in somewhere in the video.
@@madtownangler must be a lot of hogs to eat all the undergrowth off 1000 acres of forest..I live in Sweden & Those wild swine are the devil to find...The woods here are Solid with Growth
@@mrdavebenson i'm sure the hogs mostly go where they are fed corn by the owners so most of the land is not torn up. Plus they have a lot more animals they hunt there.
I know that a pig farmer that I worked for had about 30 acres that were all tore up by his adult breeders and they basically hung around the barn where he fed them.
Waiting for the hogs to walk up and ask for some corn. “ guys got any corn over here?. Hurry use your side arm! Hahaha
I hiked through the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. There were a half dozen guys with uniforms and shotguns shooting hogs and leaving them near the trail. Sometimes the hikers would cut off a ham and smoke it over a fire pit. I didn't have time to mess with it but those guys and gals are about 3 pounds of pork each in a 36 hour period.
Biden: "You can't hunt with an AR!"
Matt: "Hold my .308 mags..."
Eric: *quietly high fives Matt*
Great minds think alike
I killed a buck Monday with my AR it's a 450 bushmaster. Didn't run a inch DRT.
Semis not ARs.
Just canned pulled pork for the first time. Highly recommended. Just use chicken broth to cover and go light on the salt because of the broth salt.
I just got done eating some..lol
The sight of that PSL dragged me right into this video lol
I am not a big game hunter but it looked to me that the 308 was a cleaner kill, but they preferred the other round. I have actually seen videos of big hogs being taken out with 22lr. Perhaps it was just the angle but that first kill looked the cleanest.
Cherry Hollywood hunt!
Wild boar's and those mostly domestic breed boar's both taste way better if castrated a year or two before harvest. Most of their stank and gamey taste comes from still having their nuts...
I usually hunt hogs in macadamia orchards here on big island Hawaii because the Mac nuts they're eating makes them taste better and gives them more fat than any other diet.
Tell me you hunt high fence without tell me you hunt high fence lol
Stop. "High Fences" are a fact of life. Their not going away
If you take a Romanian PSL Take 3 Tri barrel mounts From the front side to the gas block it helps with harmonics stiffens up the barrel and helps run cooler you'll be more accurate when you're shooting
ERIC THE PSL LOOKS AMAZING WHAT THE HECK!!!!
They definitely don't look like wild hogs look at all the underbrush that is not there but cool anyway. How much did the hog hunt cost per hour
Per hog . The under brunch maybe because there in a small enclosure?
Just bought one of those Arken scopes, HOLY CRAP that thing is heavy. It's a 32 ounce boat anchor so not ideal for a hunting rifle set up, best for bench shooting or long range from a tripod and bolt gun.
I like it generosity of u giving a viewer description is advised
Ay the light weight "Tool time with Tim and Al" vibe of this episode was dope. Makes hog hunting look fun. And everyone loves moar power.
Fenced in domestic hog hunting
I thought Chad was about to plug the one they just shot with the PSL again.
As a hunter, I am disgusted by shooting farm hogs. Dude was literally what, 15 20 yards? Y’all may disagree, but that isn’t hunting, it’s shooting. Plain and simple. If you want to “hunt” do it right. With WILD game.
I’ve lived in East Tennessee my whole life. I have never seen a wild hog here. Heard 1-2 stories about hogs but never have seen one
They're here alright I've had to take out quite a few for the damage they do to my hay fields and garden.
I live within 60 miles of that place. Wild hogs aren’t runnin loose like that in East Tennessee. They must be inside of fences.
"Not in the balls" 🤣🤣 I damn near about died laughing
Higher. Texas Heart Shot.
I knew someone was going to say it lmfao
I would go for the balls and make him gender neautral
@@nn431xru1 81 million of them voted for Biden.
Imagine scoping in and all you see is
(___)(___)
Those don't look like wild hogs
That's like hunting a farm Yard
Before I say the rest, I am a big fan of you guys.
I get that this was probably a comped "hunt" so why not but it's harvesting not hunting. Hogs get real big when they are in a high fence enclosure and are fed and bred to that size. More like shooting farm pigs.
it is telling that all the groundcover and low greenery is gone
Man those pigs were walking right around you guys!
You cant call that hunting
I harvested a 800+ lb hog from here. The cabins are top notch, the staff knows the whole property, and the wives cook so good you eat yourself sick. Hundreds of acres. It's heavily hunted so scent stays everywhere. The guides use the terrain and the wind and just couldn't be better. Razorback, Desoto that look pie baled. Plus the axis deer and others running around. This was the greatest Father's day I'll ever have with my son. They aren't all huge and many didn't make the video.
Well this was definitely high fenced!!!!!!
What's with the 308 heavy artillery? A 357 mag Henry would've brought down these farm raised sweetheart pigs with ease. Hell at those point blank close range you guys could've killed them with a 9 mm glock. XD
Greetings from South Africa, for a moment I saw a hippo-sized hog right there, these are tanks!
That DD suppressed is sweet! I would load some 220 gr and try for more subsonic. Nice set up
Hunting old farmers pigs lol
Any chance of you guys thinning out the Feral Hog population at some point? I'm not giving you shit for hunting at a preserve, but, seems to me those things are everywhere down South, where you can harvest them for free and do the environment a favor in the process.
BTW, I wish Cans were legal up here- they make shooting more tolerable for sure.
Eric and Chad should go to Temple , TX to take some hogs from a chopper. Helping farmers and land owners
@@hoosier8729 I Second That!!! With a Dillon Minigun.
Media: AR15’s and AK’s have no place in hunting!!!!!!
IragVeteran8888: hold my dead pig
i went to this ranch near my house and they have hogs you can hunt on their land for a cheap price and when he restocks the livestock, you see dude walking up to hogs and just lay em out from 3 feet away
In Europe they like to use a good bolt action with a red dot for boar hunting in a lot of hunting shows. But they flush them and shoot on the move in a full sprint. Makes us look super lazy.
Makes us look smart
I wouldn’t consider a hunting preserve full of domestic pigs to be “hunting” lmao
Or stalking hahaha
He did say they are in a 1000 acre area. It’s not like he was hiding it
Then what is it lol
And here was me thinking they would be down at the Walmart.😂😂
Soon as seen that Hog drop, i said “Fkin Bollocks!”😆😆😂😂👍
"Not in the balls"
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah what goes around, comes around....🤣
4:28 the boar had an ear notch, nothing wild about these pigs just shooting domestic pigs
Feral hogs in Texas are classed as vermin. My friend uses dogs to hunt them and a net gun, so they are alive. He then sells them to a local "Hog Hunt" ranch for the guests to "hunt". In Arizona the famous "Buffalo Hunt" is shooting them as they are turned loose from a corral. The last great hunt is Alaskan Big Horn Sheep. You need to climb mountains and spend the night under a tarp so maybe one will appear 400-800 yards away. Most people spend $10,000 or so and still come home empty handed. To each their own I say. Good Job guys!
I'd say a well constructed 180gr .30 cal bullet would be a great choice for huge hogs. I used to love the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullets.
Ya I have some Winchester 180gr SLIVERTIP for that task.
@Shaquan Smith I concur 100 percent.... what I would offer is that... ground hunting potentially dangerous and LARGE animals I'd prefer a little more horsepower .... just in case ... in 30 cal a 180 is a great all around load
Would like to see video of the dressing and cooking of the hogs. And of course eating.
Same id like to know the best way to get the wild taste out of the meat. Ive heard a few different methods for turkey but never for hog
Those hogs really clear out the growth on the ground.
That's because they are farm raised pigs in a fenced-in pen that is probably only 3 or 4 acres at most. Too many pigs in too small of a pen so not a single stalk of vegetation can grow. And they weren't stalking them to get a closer shot, they just have to sneak around and try not to wake the fat lazy farm hogs up otherwise they would all waddle up squealing and looking for the feed bucket!
I haven't had fresh bacon since I was a kid. That's a taste you never forget.
"Not at the balls man" 🙏🏽🤣
It was mighty kind of the camera man to wait until they took the leashes off before he started filming. Great job my guy!
Can't stand all the negative hunters every animal that is huntable are all easily round on hunting spots. Shut up y'all. It's a dumdass pig
