I think that would be hunting from a vehicle!

Under the landowner exception for hogs, you can use almost any means to kill them. This is a good question...

Its an expensive venture that needs huge tracts of open flat country. Don't think it would work very well in East Tn.

everybody talks about how smart hogs are and how they turn nocturnal when pressured. I don't see how hunting from a heli is so effective when you can hear the thing coming from a mile away?

Obama hunts them all the time up at Camp David.
