A man in southern Georgia, apparently fed up with all the wild hogs on his property and unwilling to spend time outdoors, created a complex network of webcams linked to powerful shotguns to make instant bacon.
The setup is believed to be the work of former property owner Jay Williams, and would have allowed the him to observe the area and fire the guns remotely. The Benelli shotguns were aimed towards an often infested nearby food plot. The shotguns' 3-inch shells were fed with magazine extension tubes, which means a whole lot of hoggies could get blasted before needing to reload. Two identical apparatuses were found in the area, totaling a half dozen web-connected firearms.
A utilities contractor came across them back in November 2010 and alerted the authorities. Homeland Security also investigated: "At this time there is no evidence to suggest that such equipment was established for any purpose other than illegal hunting activity." They did point out it could be used for more "nefarious activity that would be of direct concern to the law enforcement and public safety communities". Yes, because the most dangerous prey is...man!
