"fun and food"

Don't forget people who shoot herds of feral hogs to keep them from destroying things and hurting people.

An excellent point! I have several friends that do that, and while it is work and is very necessary to their livelihood, it is also loads of good fun. Nothing beats shooting feral pigs at night with thermal and NVG.

They are bad in west Texas. A practical peace-time civilian reason for a fully automatic, I have known people who were rich enough to acquire one for just for hogs. Known less well off people who rented a helicopter ride that apparently supplied a full-auto to use for the duration of the ride for pigs. Many ranchers allow others to do it if they pay for the ride, they are happy to lose the hogs.

It is amazing how much damage feral hogs can do to a property in just one night. They are a nightmare for farmers and ranchers.

The very fact that buying night vision equipment, COTI (clip on thermal imager), a transferable machine gun, ammo, and renting a helicopter is completely cost justified to eradicate them from a large tract of agricultural property shows just how bad they are. Most people won't donate $100k to defeat leftist politicians, but to get rid of pigs it is a bargain.
