Helicopter Hog Hunting with the MKA-1919

[Flatland Shooter 22]

My buddy in Vinton Co says it's real close to domestic. likes it and says it's very good.

 

Ohio has a lot of good farm country and that should help the taste.

 

I was raised near Ohio's Amish country (left in 1970) and was surprised at the resurgence of wild game in the state. Up to age 18 I saw at most 4 or 8 wild deer during that time in Tuscarawas County. Last time I was up to the family farm a few years ago, deer, squirrel and turkey are all over the place. Missing were the cotton-tail rabbit. Wild hogs may be a new introduction to the area. If so, take 'em out fast before you have the problems we see in Texas.

Interesting video. I've seen a few of those heli hunt videos, but usually with ARs or similar. They sure do go down quicker with the shotguns.

 

Are they using slugs or buckshot? What are the preferred loads for each?

I really don't know what they are using. From the video, splashes in the water appear to be smaller buckshot.

 

Possibly Heavy Coyote hunting load with a full choke? I would think effective range would be less than 70 yards.
