My dad has had a helo hog hunt on his bucket list for years.  It just occurred to me that the sun is setting for some of this and I need to move quickly and his 75th birthday is coming up.
He's still completely capable and a hell of a shot.  Couple weeks ago he went to a local training center for a WW2 military qualification fun shoot with an open sight 03A3 and 1911 and was the only one to qualify expert with both.  He bitched that all the kids were cheating with their race pistols and Ars.

We'd be driving down from Missouri to I assume TX or OK.

Who have you used and recommend?

These guys are not the cheapest by a long shot, but they know their stuff.  What helps set them apart for me is the helo that they use.  Bell 212.  None of those Robinsons.

The guy that owns that chopper bought my parents house. Great guy.  He loans them out when hunts are booked. You want a turbo powered chopper. Not the small ones with car engines. It’s a long story as to why.

I did not. Life took an unexpected turn and we bought a small farm.  Expendable funds dried up quick and the todo list got very long.  Spent the last 4 weeks packing the gun room. Move is next week.
