Thats almost not even fair At the price of fuel right now, $165.00/hr is dirt cheap. What kind of gun is he using, looks like a shotgun but looks to be way to long of a shot for one.

No way thats right...

[saylean]

they should give the yotes anti aircraft missiles...

I want a turn!

[PolarBear]

Looks like a kick ass time!!  Sign me up for a half day!!!  I would want the Drowning Pool tunes blasting while I did it!    I have a cousin in Copper Center Alaska who use to shoot wolves for the state out of his bush plane.  I wish that I had gone with him before it stopped.

Not good more ammo for the anti's!Some things just shouldn't be recorded.

[andrew_12gauge]

hmmm looks like fun cant imagine that being something that is legal though

[rainshadow1]

Feds do that all the time. USDA Animal Damage Control. Shotguns out the door of the helicopter. Now I see why. Very effective. But I agree, it shouldn't be aired in public.

Didn't know it was done by private individuals.

I agree. 

Why are they wearing camo anyway?  Unfortunately it kind of makes them look like hunters... + the music sucked.

 I LOVE to hunt yotes, but I think that is well past the line of being ethical or lawful. I know the govt hunters use that method because its effective, but Im thinking with these a-holes putting this on the web,all they are doing is giving the rest of us a bad name. I see all kinds of laws being broke,unsafe gun handling ,possible tresspassing, etc. Really pisses me off that people show this kind of crap..

 Now why do they have to be A-holes?  because they are doing something you don't agree with?  It says at the end it was done with all the permits and legally,  If it wasn't I don't think they would have put it up.  Really its not much different than driving around and blasting coyotes or blasting prarie dogs.   They just can't get away as easy using this method   

Looks like it would be a blast. and if its legal why not.

ummm, because of all the reasons listed.

Some of you bitch so much about how people always want to control things and say what is right and what isn't, and then you become the person you hate and start doing it yourself.   If you think it's so wrong join peta.

I agree with miles....Stop pissin and moanin about it. To some of us, MYSELF included, it looks like it would be fun to do once or twice. After that it would get boring, not to mention expensive. However, if you were a sheep rancher in Wyoming, Montana, or S. Dakota where its really open and there are tons of them *censored*s eating your flock, that may be a very good way to protect your property, then is that wrong?

Didn't say it was wrong... just stupid.  If you think it's so cool... build a huge fence and join the Texas Trophy Hunters.

I have a freind that is a outfitter in North Eastern oregon . I was invited to do this helicopter thing but couldnt get the time to do it. They have a severe coyote problem on the ranch, 30,000deeded acres and another 60,000 leased acres . That is how they help control the yote population. They killed over 300 coyotes in 1 day  and still have problems. They were charging 50 bucks a person to help pay for the chopper.

[Lowedog]

About as sporting as shooting a bear out tree or over bait.

I'd do it in a heartbeat though given the chance.  Looks like fun!

-Lowedog

[JoshT]

Probablly just about as sporting as shooting a whole bunch of house cats huh?? 

There's a difference between sporting and management, about the same difference between ferel and house... but hey, I wouldn't expect those of short mind to understand either of them. Have fun in your helicopter... I hope it has an ejection seat!

[JoshT]

So you're saying you don't understand... that's ok, at least you don't have to use up all your crayons when you type on the computer.

[bucklucky]

 

Now, Now boys

[PolarBear]

Uh-oh, is the MM mentality leeching over to this site?

[Wea300mag]

That is interesting but I would not do it. If it's within the laws I have no problem with others doing it.

[mkcj]

want to give the anti's more fuel here ya go just don't bitch when they take everything away. The non hunting public does not know any better so it's the group with the most $ that will win just like with the baiting and hound laws. Does the game dept want to change them back yeah but if they do they commit political suicide so were stuck with the little by little changes we get

[bucklucky]

 

[3dsheetmetal]

What you have to remember is how the general public views such actions.The majority are non hunters and they already took away hound hunting and bear baiting.And the antis get a video like that and they can manipulate it to there advantage.So until hunters are the majority of the voting population we have to be careful on how we present our sport cause once you lose part of it you can be sure you'll never get it back.

[rainshadow1]

Well said, 3D.

Not only do I not oppose it, it's flat out NECESSARY in some areas in the country. It's not hunting. It's ADC. Don't critisize it for not being sporting... it's not supposed to be sporting. It's suppose to reduce Coyote numbers in an area.

But it shouldn't be in the public eye. The huggers of bunnies have a tendency to not understand wildlife management.... and they vote!

[popeshawnpaul]

I'm just mad those targets weren't Idaho wolves...

so why would you be albe to hunt from one?

so my thoughs are that its unfair, wht is wht sport in that?..... would be fun ya but the sport in it would be hitting a moving target while your moving.

also got around it cause its a preditory animal on private land.

[huntnphool]

I'm just mad those targets weren't Idaho wolves...

I agree it should be where johnQ can see it. Are agency has been fight with the anti's over aerial predator control for a long time. Its one of the most successful ways to keep coyote numbers down on big ranches. We have averaged over 100yotes a day at some places but it does cut down on the ranchers loss during the year which help keep meat prices down.

All over the country there are ADC control hunts, not just for coyotes, lots of deer are culled or controlled. Lots shot at night in city limits with silenced or surpressed rifles. There is a company that makes special rifles for this use. Recently there was a large green belt area in a large eastern city near New York. they had about 100 times the amount of deer that the area could support. They put in a bunch of real high tree stands so they could shoot down at the ground, killed over 250 deer in two nights.
this is not sport hunting and is not only allowed by the Govt. it is promoted.

I have a teaching buddy in Alaska that does work like this for the Feds. You would be amazed what is done for wildlife control.
The Russians back in the 1800s planted lots of the outlying islands with different fox species, red, silver. These islands are also breeding rounds for geese, ducks etc. so the feds brought in Chuck, his wife and several other professionals. They trapped and killed fox on these islands for three months before leaving each island they set and left over 1000 traps to nail any fox they missed.
Downtown Anchorage has a big pigeon problem, so again Chuck and a small team were brought in with 1200 fps air rifles and silenced 22s to shoot them, bag them and be out out the roosting areas before anyone woke up(this was done in the month of March back in 1990s).  Anchorage PD would steer any foot traffic away from these control areas so the bunny and tree huggers wouldn't get alerted.
