Looks like one of the vehicles belonging to one of the HCO's of the HSHCB.....that is Hog Control Officers of the Homeland Security Hog Control Bureau......I guess another one of those pork barrel projects they slipped thru congress?
[Too bad they dont patrol the borders with those, not shooting folks but keeping them on their side.]

Seriously though, it does seem to be some kind of eradication project, whether private or government funded, I don't know. The way they're piled up with no apparent wounds, I would have to say, "yes, the meat was wasted." A hunter needs a license for hog, but they can be harvested year-round. When they get too concentrated in one area, and precious few hunters taking them in that area, and they start destroying the land then, well.....the only option is to "eradicate". Too bad, though. Pork is good! Especially when barbequed!
I've been studying the vehicle, and I believe that I would reconfigure.
I think I'd mount the Barrett as a tail gun, run another rail low across the front and mount the 1919 on a 45deg pivot as to cover the front fron the passenger seat, and then place the other (whatever it is) up high-center with a 12,000,000CP search-light on a 360deg pivot to cover side-side and back up the others.
Now THAT'S HUNTIN'.
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.
We supposedly have a problem with hogs in my area but I haven't seen a live one in years. A dairy a couple of miles from me has killed nearly 50 from last reports. It was a pretty funny story of how so many hogs appeared around here. Apparently, an individual was going to start a hunting preserve and ordered 1500 russian boars. Unfortunately, he didn't have a fence built when they were turned loose. They started mixing with the large farrow hogs that were already around and all heck had broken loose. Within 2 years, all of the irrigation sprinklers were tore up as well as the wheat fields. Of course, the individual who brought the pigs left and people have been shooting the hogs by the hundreds. There is a helocopter photo of a place about 5 miles from my house that shows an estimated 500 hogs running around the brush.
