I will say it is probably a great way to sneak up on the bastages...

I would love to do a balloon hunt and see how it comapres to helicopter hunting. But I would def need someone experienced at the helm. Don't want another balloon accident like happened a few years back

Very low profile. I'm sure that you'll slide in right under their radar.

Very subtle. No one on the ground will even notice.

And more than a month after the law went into effect, there are no balloon companies in Texas offering, or apparently planning to offer, such excursions.

"The department has not received any applications for this permit," Steve Lightfoot, spokesman for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the agency that would grant permits for the hunts, wrote in an email.

The season is only a month old for Balloon Hunters.

You send in your application for a permit yet?

A law was passed that allows for hunting hogs from hot air balloons. The law went in to effect about a month ago but nobody has applied for a permit.

If you have a hot air balloon you can get a permit to rain hell from above on those nasty pigs. Up Up and Away Navasot

Yeah but it doesn't sound as cool on the bucket list as shooting hogs from a hot air balloon
