Re: Hog hunting from balloons
My Sister and BIL bought land up by Salado. There is a helicopter hog service close by. The last time they were at their property they found 15 carcasses . They don't mind the killing of hogs while the land is not stocked with cattle. However, no permission has been asked or granted and hogs are left to rot.

Re: Hog hunting from balloons
I knew of Government hunters who hunted coyotes out of a helo up by San Angelo. They would slit open preg. females and count the unborn pups as kills..... They were paid by the head.ScottDLS wrote:Do you have to kill the sow to get a 'fetal' hog?

Re: Hog hunting from balloons
What is the minimum Altitude you can fly and maintain flight in a ballon ( and a helicopter) above private land?
I thought 500 AGL was a rule of thumb over sparsely inhabited areas.

However, before I let ANYBODY hunt from my balloon, I would require some background info and make them go through a safety course with me. Will be a VERY expensive proposition for someone.
