Man it would be so much fun to be behind the trigger in one of those choppers

Heck yeah that would be fun! I need to get a good AR built before I go contract a pilot and chopper though.

yeah, better to get the difficult and expensive part out of the way....jk....there's a guy on here who get's pretty riled up about how expensive it is to do this and how serious of a profession it is. Can't say I blame him on that once you realize the investment made....I'm sure he'll be in shortly to explain, but still....how cool is that? There's a few great videos on youtube, one even set to Metallica.

Save up your pennies. The going rate is $600 per hour with a two hour minimum even if you don't spot a single hog.

If you want to take your buds along a four person chopper rents for $3,000-$3,500 per hour.

There sure are a lot of people making a lot of money with this Texas hog problem. Seems like its a problem for some and windfall for others.

Yeah, for a state with such an overwhelming hog problem, sure are enough barriers put up to eradication.
