The hunts take place in and around Uvalde, Tx. We scout our properties and run the hunt on the ranch with the most pig activity. The ranches range from 1k - 11k acres.
We have a 100% success rate. We have been performing helicopter hog hunts since Jan. 12'.
If I had to guess, I would conservatively say there are several hundred pigs in the area. We have come up on groups of 70-80 pigs, but we have also come up on small groups of 3-5.

I should also mention that we run out traditional hog hunts on a ranch separate from our helicopter hunts.

Ar-15's and Shotguns.
You can bring your own, but it must have a shell catcher.
