House provides ars....556 ball ammo, red dot. Shot well. Went up with7 30 rounders per flight. 2 flights, one hour up and down. I used less than three nags per flight. Choose your shots, no wild shooting.

Please tell me they had Ride of the Valkyries playing during the ride, or on your videos

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Sorry but no. Frankly, it was a very calm and relaxing flight that involved fun maneuvers from the pilot, tight turns, banking etc all done like a caddy on air ride. We didn't hoot, holler, or really have any theatrics outside of fist bumps and atta boys at good clean shots. After the initial 20 min of flight I bet my hr never went over 85.

It was. Worth the extraordinary cost....maybe once. I'd suggest a minimum of two hours flight time to get past the learning curve.

One tenderloin in the books. Salt, pepper, olive oil. Sear, bake, rest, slice, eat.

Color me impressed on the marksmship. I've never done it but I can't imagine shooting out of a helicopter at running pigs with someone else's rifle is am easy task.

It's not. If they are in the trees and you are shooting much more "down" its tough. Now, get them in an open field running, chopper is 10 feet off the ground, pivoted, sliding alongside them, you are leaning out tight to the harness, strap tight, come up to the last pig in the bunch, dot touches rump, you fire from maybe 25 feet away, tumble that one, move up the line, tumble that one, pick up two more then swoop the chopper pulls up and banks just at the tips of the trees, pivot and swing towards the strays scattered in the fieks picking up speed.....yeah that's good stuff.
That was our last batch we got on.

Is that wild pork that you are eating not cooked well done?
