I did in a way. I asked how much he charged to take poeple. He just gave me a dismissive laugh.

I was told by the land owner that quite a few of the cattle farmers pitch in and hire the pilot, plane, and gunner. Guy I talked to uses a 10 gauge semi auto with buck shot. Said its like shooting fish in a barrel. They usually fly it before the breeding season, and the calves drop.

I know a coworker that paid around $150 to go heli hunting in Oregon.  He and his friend switched off filming it, but I can't find it on youtube.  It was private land and they had a blast (pun intended).  He brought a semi- 10 gauge, and his buddy brought an AK.  Sounded like fun!

$150 to ride in a heli is cheap, they rent for $250+++++++ an hour

Airborne hunting is a federal offense under the Airborne Hunting Act. However there are some exceptions to this federal law: "shall not apply to any person if such person is employed by, or is an authorized agent of or is operating under a license or permit of, any State or the United States to administer or protect or aid in the administration or protection of land, water, wildlife, livestock, domesticated animals, human life, or crops, and each such person so operating under a license or permit shall report to the applicable issuing authority each calendar quarter the number and type of animals so taken."

So basically the animal must be doing some type of damage in order for a permit to be issued. I know Texas just recently made it legal to hunt pigs from the air because of the damage they have been causing. So it is 100% a damage issue, not just a "hey i wanna go coyote shooting today" thing. Also in WA, coyotes as far as commercial damage/trapping goes are managed by the US Dept of Agriculture.

I bet it was a gov shooter that cory ran into, otherwise why would the guy land and come talk to the landowner. 

I know a guy who does this gov work in Montana for many years now, they fly a couple days a week wherever they get sent. He says it's a blast, (pun intended).
