I wouldn't want to make an unplanned landing among a bunch of feral hogs.

K. But ferals come out and forage mostly at night. Good luck finding them from the air during the day.

Hunting hogs from a chopper is prob the most free thing a person can do

Not to mention it is harder to airborn a hot air balloon at night. Much harder.

Hopefully LA follows suit. Wouldn't mind floating over the marshes around Venice while slaughtering hogs

After working near an airport that hosted hot air balloon companies, I'll never get in one. Saw at least 3 almost really bad crash landings in a week. One of which almost clipped out drilling mast.

I hate to break it to you, but that probably wouldn't do a whole lot.

Now the propane tank is where the real danger lies.

Lack of turbulence.

Steadier.

Silent.

Supressed rifle from 300ft up is going to be damned quiet.

Hogs run with the wind in my experience.

Get above them. Drop a sack of corn. Drop a case of tannerite. One shot and bacon goes flying.
