group assessment from the other 2 in the helicopter including the guide.

And counter assessment made by you at home on the couch?

Hunting from a helicopter with a bow makes about as much sense as:

* People who have luxury automobiles parked at their mobile homes

* Christmas goods for sale after Halloween

* Rollerskating up hill

What’s next? You gonna be the first to mount a thermal on a fishing pole?

It doesn't seem very effective unless injuring an animal is the goal. I rather just kill them quick.

Dude ,

You even said yourself in the video that you don’t like wounding animals and yet you do TWICE and that’s not even counting the B roll footage ...

There is nothing more that I love than a helicopter as a tool to control hogs, but it seems like a waste to go about it with a stick and string. To each their own.

I've seen some stupid chit before, but this takes the cake. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.

Re: Hogs from a Helicopter.. WITH A BOW - 05/21/18 10:01 PM

Someone should have been riding shotgun to finish off the hogs. No guarantee they died just because they had a couple of arrows in them. Low draw weight, velocity diminished by several factors, hits to the thickest parts of the pork.

No guarantee.

I have seen hogs with bullet wounds and other injuries. Found one with part of a wooden arrow and practice tip in it below the skin.

If you can shoot a hog from a helicopter with a bow that is a heck of a shot. I watched pigman do it on his show. I thought it was cool!!

Come on guys! Give the poor guy a break for once.

No question there, shooting a moving target from a moving platform with turbulence is impressive

Give you a up for hitting with bow from air. I am confused2 why. Like was said earlier you can do it, but why. Waisted time, fuel, and opertunities on hogs. PETA people could use this as advertisement for cruelty. Just my 2cents

The anti’s are what I worry about as well. Very impressive to pull off a bow shot from a helicopter though. It was a legal hunt so we as hunters all need to stick together but it’s kind of
Ike the arguments over taking pictures of your kill and what is proper.

Shotgun with buckshot. I think a rifle is not even that efficient in a Heli.

Chasing one around until it has a heart attack and can barely stand and shooting arrows at it . Real hunting . Why not risk your 300 lb heart attack and land and go stalk it ?

Try getting some attention from a hunt filmed in a believable and entertaining format. I can't imagine a quality sponsor would have a target market that follows your videos. You just don't get it. It's more than just the number of views you get, it's what type of viewer that's most important. Morons aren't the type of viewers quality sponsors sell to.

Don't kid yourself. Morons spend lots of money on silly things.

I shoulda stopped watching when he said Crosbyton was located an hour north of Lubbock. Horribly narrated video and just painful to watch overall. As others have said it was a legal hunt but just not my cup of tea.

North, east, south, or west, what is the difference? Words have no real meanings. peep

This is fodder for the anti's for sure. Harming hogs vs killing them slowly (if at all). Not my cup of tea. And I am pretty sure most of use with enough time to practice could connect with a bow from a helo. He had at least an hour to make his shots connect, so the fact he hit 4 out of ?? in a hours time was impressive yes, but more than likely doable for any of us that are not novice bow shooters.

Agreed narration was rushed and is already re done for the actual show. And i did not even catch the "north part" when re watching it. Good catch.. Considering it is East and slightly North. Actually have a map (google earth effect) during that part int he show when it airs.

Was an experience for sure. Next hunt will be all rifle from the air, (July 21st) in Oklahoma.

Re: Hogs from a Helicopter.. WITH A BOW - 06/17/18 01:51 PM

cheers
rofl You've done good since ya was a newbee on texasHF. My net conections not the best, so dont always watch the videos, lately some of the pic's on here dont even show up. Me net not up ta date. You ever do any hog hunts on WMA ?
If memory tis correct, think gave ya an invite ta the OSBWMA for a hog hunt. As posted, they can be some of the best hunts, with the 24-7-365 hunten pressure on surrounding privet land.
Do it yourself hunts. rofl It can be a pain in the arse trying ta get sponcers, tried ta get Equate, Hemorrhoid Cream ta sponcer me. Even had some do-it-yourself comercials made up.
Like said they can be some great hunts. Best wishes jt. Stay Safe.

Who cares it's just a stupid pig......I shoot hogs just like I do a coyote gut shoot them. So I wound all the time....

Re: Hogs from a Helicopter.. WITH A BOW - 06/20/18 10:50 AM

Looks like a blast! People who don't bowhunt don't get it I understand but the negative banter about sticking hogs or wounding hogs is crazy. No different than gut shooting a rat in a chicken coop. Kill em' all, have fun doing it.
