We went on my first helicopter hog hunt today. Near San Angelo, Texas. It was pretty wild. Took 20 hogs . Saw some monster bucks . Trying again tomorrow. | ||

Texas Specialty Helicopter out of the Divided Find Ranch. We shot 96 this morning. This is a hell of a lot of fun. Not at all easy . Glad I did it . | |||

Just curious. On the ranches they fly over, do they also have deer hunters in the field? Seems to be a weird time to have flyovers. If I had a deer lease, I would hate to have hog hunters blasting away. I just always assumed the helicopter hunting was done outside of deer season. | |||

No deer hunters at the time . | |||

These guys have about 2.5 million acres of ranches under contract to fly. They call and get approval before they fly on a given day. Sometimes the ranchers call them to come and fly soon because things are so bad. I do know they didn't fly some places because of deer hunting. | |||

Thanks for the mention Larry. Too bad they ignored my request for a cull WT and hog combo. Just an FYI for other AR members. CB Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can. | |||

Sorry to hear that . Doesn’t seem good for business. | |||

May be some sort of a clash shooting pigs in their whitetail areas. So, what was your chosen rifle for the hog gallery hunt? Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can. | |||

I used their guns . They had Daniel Defense ARs in 5.56. | |||

Who knows . It doesn’t seem like the people I met. They have no pigs at the ranch . | |||

It also occurs to me that they require two shooters . It’s not financially feasible to have one shooter . Regardless, they should have responded. | |||

Yes. There is the 2 shooter rule. No matter what the deal is.... I'm glad you had fun there. I'll keep looking for the right hunt. Thanks. Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can. | |||
