First they say it will be legal starting 9/1 and then they say they already did it.

August 2011 issue .... yup, you caught that huh?

They had to make it legal? I thought you could kill hogs with anything from a slingshot to a nuke.

Hmmm, I guess when my brother was hog-hunting from a helicopter using full-auto M-16's, that wasn't legal? Guess I should keep my mouth shut . . .

ETA: Actually, reading the rest of the article gave my answer:

(A legal loophole allowed me to hunt with Dustin two months before the new law goes into effect. In fact, it has always been legal for someone to hunt from a helicopter so long as no money changes hands for the flight.)

I also got a kick out of:

Dustin also boasted that in March, he took Ted Nugent on a hog hunt and, the Nuge, being the Nuge, bagged close to 150 pigs.*

It has to be a tactical slingshot with lights and scope.

Although her accuracy left something to be desired, the girl was NOT afraid to pull the trigger.

Definitely dumped some rounds at the pigs! Atta girl!
