[QUOTE="6.5shaggy, post: 1792275, member: 13311"] We have the heli hunters in my area of Texas as well. They put outrageous kill #s on Facebook, but I have rode behind them horseback and know those #s are not always accurate. These hogs are VERY INTELLIGENT. They have already figured out if they lay still in cover when the choppers fly, their chances of survival go up, this making the heli’s less effective. I have seen cattle disturbed by the choppers, fences destroyed by the stampeding swine, and know it has long lasting negative effects on other wildlife. That said, helicopters are an effective way to control the hog population, but many of the operators are doing it strictly for profit and are not putting any thought or effort in managing the hogs or any other aspect of the world around them. It is just another luxury hunt for the wealthy that is glorified on Facebook and YouTube. The state of Texas even subsidized these hunts to some extent at one time. It could be a useful tool if more research and technique could be implemented. Until then it’s just another video on the internet. [/QUOTE]
