That's what I'm thinking. Would be like a REALLY TALL tree stand.
That might work.

Re: Hog hunting from balloons

I have flown in a hot air balloon. I remember it being very, very quiet except for the dogs barking. If I remember correctly, the pilot said he thought the sound of the propane burner makes had some high frequencies in it that really stirred up the dogs. I don't know if hogs would also be able to hear that or not, but if they did they would probably run out of range very, very quickly. At least with a helicopter you can change directions and follow them. A balloon is going to go which ever way the wind blows.
