    Default Helicopter hog hunting in Texas

    Have any of y'all done it? It looks like a cool bucket list thing until I started looking at the websites and the prices. Holy cow a man must want to really do that to pay the prices they ask. I get it, a helicopter and insurance etc are expensive but damn. Any input is appreciated.

    I never got past the price tag.

    If you want to feel poor, price a guided brown bear hunt in Alaska.

    That shit will pure hurt your feelings.

    I've seen some Kamchatka hunts for not unreasonable prices...but Kamchatka is in Russia.

    I feel like I need to be commander in chief of a small army with some unsavory characters that love torture and degrading people as my generals to feel like I would come back in one piece from there.

    I've talked to a few guys that hunted over there, they say expect a cluster f### but it's just how they operate.

    I'm just hoping I can get into the yukon come august, if not, I can only hope the outfitter don't go belly up missing another year.

    Go on an air boat nutria / hog hunt in S. Louisiana. LOTS of shooting and doing the Gulf marsh a service. Hit me up if anyone wants a name of a guide.
    Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

    I have a hunting mentor who hunted Alaska for decades, for months at a time. He says moving over to Russia was like both stepping up to the major leagues and stepping back in time. Evidently there is no such thing as trust over there. The Soviets bred that completely out of them...

    Reason why I feel like I'd need my small army with sadistic generals before I went hunting a rooskie brown.
