[QUOTE="IllinoisBurt, post: 2752405, member: 35752"] There is a huge difference in manpower, equipment, and time to physically move 150 animals weighing 800 to 2000 pounds from a wilderness area versus simply shooting them from a helicopter. You would have to plan where animals could be shot to be accessible within short time period to prevent spoilage and be safe working environment for people on the ground. A few crews working it would likely take weeks to get that many animals out. Shooting and leaving animals lie is less concern for shot placement (meat loss and animals running) and locale becomes unimportant. A good gun crew with military thermal imaging for location and weapons targeting could probably get the job completed over a weekend. If you really wanted it done fast they could task a local air national guard unit to fly Blackhawks in using the chaingun and be over in a few hours. [/QUOTE]
