Wife wants to do a heli hog hunt, no idea why, but that’s what she wants. Has anybody here done them and have a company you recommend?

Is it $2-3k per head per day or for 90 minutes? I didn't think you got a full day out of it which is why I've been reluctant.

Last time I priced it it was about 300 an hour but wouldn’t even turn the engine on unless it was booked all day.

BP I remember that there was some videos of some guys that used to be on THF, maybe 2 or 3 years ago, that went HHH. They used AR-15s and knocked out a bunch. One of the videos was from Cameron,Tx. It had like 3 or four guys shooting. It didnt seem to be real high dollar.

I’m seeing $2275 per person, minimum 2 people, for 2 hours.
If I'm supplying the land and animals (or at least opportunity), I'm not paying 2275 for 2 hours.

If I have land to hunt, will the helicopter come to me? I can make this happen. Deal is that I get a seat or 2 on the chopper. Need more than 4k acres to fly to make it worth the while I cant point you in a direction of an outfitter but I can tell you that its the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Ive done it about 20 times now Ive posted this a time or two, one of our best shoots https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA5uOSkPcZ4&t=196s

I agree, those little Robinson’s they use are death traps.

What if you have a big place and you want to get rid of hogs but you dont want to be a shooter. Are guys that run the shoots/flights looking for properties to fly?
