Matt....you are way off in your numbers...150 is only what I have found. My dogs kill and discard dozens of hogs each hunt.
The numbers are probably in the thousands.....
Nobody said you have to find them to count them!!!!!
I'm not questioning thier right to practice hog controle from a helicopter or saying that its not a valid way of doing things. They have as much right to be there as I do, as do the "weekend warriors". I am all for a free market so to speak..... who ever has the best service should be awarded the right to practice it and thats the reason the weekend warriors get upset from time to time because 4 or 5 weekends a year to maybe kill one hog each time is not gonna get you a place to hunt on when dog hunters can and will do so much more. But I am all for them having the right to hunt a hog with a bow or scoped rifle a few times a year if they can find a place to do it. Back to helicopters... Every service I have known of or heard of has lied about numbers. Honesty is very important to me and I don't hesitate one moment to shine the light on dishonest people. I'm not saying that they are all dishonest but 100% of the ones I've know of were. Dead hogs dont go to heaven right away they stick around for days and weeks on end they rot and stink and leave skeletons behind...... the buzzards and coyotes can only each so many. I've hunted behind helicopters many times and each time I look for and see some dead hogs but never even close to the ammount they claim. Thats called lying folks and getting payed to do it and I'm all about bringing it up everytime the subject comes around.
