Shooting pest pigs from helicopter
PLease note this is a pest control, not hunting, please do not judge us with hunter's ethics and preservation crap. It was a job, and we had it done. only watch it if you understand the point of feral pigs control.

you might have to verify your age or register with youtube inorder to watch it.

As long as it has to get done, that was some fine shooting

If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

I repeat Whitworth's question, anyone know where this happened? Judging by the palm trees, I'd guess Florida, Hawaii, or maybe one of the Carribbean islands?

I know at least two members, counting me, who are willing to pay for it.

Gat,

I have a friend with a lease near San Antonio. The rancher has it done every year. Has been too effective ... for the lease holders anyway. Almost no piggies left.

Question for landowners on the board: If your thinking of having this done, might you consider allowing an "AR Pest Control weekend (or week)" and inviting members to help out?

What things would concern you about doing that? (I believe Ray posted some comments about additional costs to landowners that have resulted from stupid [or unknowing] pig hunters on their lands.)

The shooting was fun to watch, but as a retired chopper pilot, I have to tell you, flying a chopper like that is the most fun thing you can do with your pants on.

That's how our "scouts" in VN flew, looking for the bad guys--and often found them. However, the bad guys, unlike the pigs, shoot back.
