Helicopters huh. Here is something to think about.
Looks like they did better old school than the guys did with helicopters.
Fly in a Helicopter over some thick woods and try to imagine how hard it is to even see a hog down below. And its not exactly a smooth ride so it aint easy to hold the gun steady for a shot. Most of em' use shotguns with buck shot, for that reason, and I would bet they wound more hogs than they kill. When I was young we hunted a ranch that had just been high fenced. The County trapper was freinds with my dad and had been shooting hogs out of the ranch with a helicopter because the ranch wanted them gone. The supposedly killed hundreds and let them lay. He asked My dad to come and clean up the ones that got smart and hid in the brush which was supposed to be only a sow and a few shoats. So we brought some freinds and first hog out of the box was a boar, 22 hogs later we caught the dogs. We saw no carcases, no bones, no buzzards, no proof that they had killed any hogs at all. Only thing we did see was some wounded hogs we killed. I can say that that county trapper was buying hog dogs after that for some pretty high prices. Choppers work ok in the begining and then the hogs get smart and squat in the brush.
