    Some people like them doing this and some hate it due to wild boar being on their 'hunt sell' meneu.
    I would assume that the land owners would have to give you their permission ahead of time wouldn't they? Getting upset after the fact is pretty stupid considering he knew what he was allowing!
    If an animal is going to die so that I might live, the least I can do is perform the unsavoury deed myself.

    Re: Hell from the AIR

    Hey Moose , do a little 'research' . I found another outfit in Texas wich gives 4 hrs and is about 25% cheaper than the guys we went with. BUT , will have to find out if the pilots are 'cowboys' or not. The video of the cheaper outfit looks 'possibly' a little 'less action flying'. Our guys were all over the place , from 5 ft off the backs of the hogs to chasing them down and spinning backwards as we passed them. The other outfitts video looked more like a possible 'greyhound bus tour' driving from a 'ways' off the ground...yaaawn.
    I'm going to try and wrangel up a canadian posse to go hit it again next winter !

    Hey Steve
    I couldn't take it anymore. Heli hog'n has been on my mind since your post. So I just booked a Texas trip for my daughter and I for this June/July. The R-44s were already booked so we will have to take turns in the two seater. Still really excited to experience this adventure. We also booked a alligator gar fishing trip. I am also looking into a catfish noodling tour as well. This will fill the gap between shed hunting and sheep hunting nicely.

    Goods news ! I'll put you on 'The List'.

    Side note , sometimes the guys fly private property where only shotguns are allowed.DONT do it. AR's are the ONLY way to go. 30 rounds clips as opposed to re loading EVERY 6 seconds with a shotty doesnt even compare !

    Hey PG
    The outfitter were going with offers the use of AR 10's or AR 15's with unlimited ammo built into the price. The fact that they are booked solid 6 months in advance seems like a good sign. I have spoke with them on the phone and they said they will meet us in San Antonio and we can follow them to the ranch we will be using.
