Bugs me a bit. What kind of shot placement is there from a helicopter on a running animal? How do you know your not leaving wounded animals in the field?

I thought that they followed up pretty well on pigs that did not go down hard. A pig usually doesn't go down hard and lay flat motionless unless it is lethally wounded. Of course, if this is done for profit, you have to wonder if they aren't trying to cut time and cost and minimize follow up shooting.
While this video isn't for everyone, you have to realize that it isn't hunting, rather than depredation. It's like the exterminator coming by your house putting out poison for the rats in your garage. There you wouldn't bring up hunting ethics either. I am always careful condemning activities that aren't my cup of tea but legal, especially if it comes to hunting or closely related activities. The last thing the hunting community needs is to be split up in camps and become an easy target to the so called "animal rights" activists.
