Well ive still got to agree its a huge waste of meat. I would almost guarantee there are people within driving distance that would love to have that much meat. a few hunters could have taken out most of those big pigs with a few good shots and have meat on the table. Plus legal or not its out there for people to grab a hold of and use to put down legitimate hunters.
we as hunters also have a responsibility to put down animals as fast and humanly as possible. if you have ever been tossed in the air by an explosion or been any where near one, its not a fast death. shrapnel usually does not kill very fast if at all. it does leave bodys torn up, broken, and bleeding.
remember just because it is legal does not mean its ethical. its what ive always been taught and its whats in our California hunter safety book and coarse.
