Me and a buddy are looking for chopper hog hunts anyone know any outfitters offering chopper hunts

i got a chopper in my back yard!

Wang what happend to us going bowfishing Friday night

How will you hold the handle bars and shoot?

I know of some guys in west Texas That has a outfit that does it. Let me see if I can get you there number after this weekend

If I am not mistaken it is illegal in the state of Texas to sell hunts out of helicopters. Will see if I can find the info.

They are out of west Texas but I think there hunts are in Alabama not sure. yes, it is illegal not sure why though. They have a you tube video titled Death From Above. He told me to look it up. Just haven't had time yet.

I saw a youtube video where the guy explains the rules. from what i recall it was not open to the public but contract workers through the state. one heck of a contract I'd like to land.

i'll try and find the video.

im giving lessons if ur interested

dropped this one in its tracks, and wounded another. it was pretty cool to take em off a bike.

"In Texas, it is illegal to pay to hunt from a helicopter. During the 2009 state legislative session, a bill, sponsored by state Rep. Sid Miller, R-Stephenville, to make aerial hunting legal died.

However, Johnson has a permit from the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department for aerial wildlife and exotic animal management -- which allows him to shoot the feral hogs. Nueces Helicopters has flown over South Texas counties to shoot feral hogs, and a few other helicopter operators have permits in the state to do the same.

His gunners need only a valid Texas hunting license, and landowners must sign an agreement allowing the helicopter shootings on their land."

So it's illegal to do on your own but if you get a permit from the state you can do it?! Sound's like a good money making industry if you've got the equipment.

man idk ha but i think were gonna go this weekend!!!

man that sucks its illegal i wonder if anyone is getting around the system like just selling hog hunts and they happen to have a chopper

Just like people here say they are giving you a hunt for a corn donation , when in reality its more than paying for a hunt.

I guess you donate your time and chip in for gas for a helicoptor

here are the trailers for the new helicopter giant rat (aka wild feral hog) eradication videos:

I found out today I have an MH-6 "Little Bird" lined up ready to go hog hunting, so now I need to look into whether I can obtain a permit... anyone have any tips on where to start?

It should be a good one, we're COVERED in hogs right now.

The MD-500 pilot has a friend with a UH-1 Huey, so now we just need to locate suitable land on which to fly/hog hunt.

So does anyone have any experience executing/applying for/receiving a LOA to manage wildlife or_exotic_animals_by aircraft?

I did a lot of shooting out of a Huey UH1, not at hogs though, almost 40 years ago....lot more fun and rewarding than hogs...

I've never done it but I'd LOVE to. I know a guy that has about 15,000 acres near Dallas and another that has about 6,500 acres in South Texas that might be suitable. Either, or both of them, might be interested or they might not be but I couldn't imagine that, lol. I'll give them a call this week and see who's up for what.

Get with Steve, he is a fantastic pilot and can get you on the hogs

We have scheduled our flyover, but have not obtained permission or permits as of yet for 3 adjoining ranches located in lower Taylor county, Reeves, Webb, and Nix ranches in late Jan.

The Permit is not the issue in this case, the permission to fly with guns in the air that close to Dyess Airforce base is our obstacle at this time.

Note, all ranch owners must sign off, approve, on the gunners being used.

Our permits are being handled by Bobby Palmer, Texas Wildlife Services Program, he his the Texas Wildlife county trapper for Taylor county.

If anyone has questions on how to get permits for your property to have a flyover done, Bobby can point you in the right direction for your county. 8-5 m-f 325-370-4855

Let me know if either one of those landowners might be interested. I currently have at least 2, and maybe even 3, helicopters with pilots lined up, we're just looking for the land now.
