Serious shooters are lining up for a chance to hunt feral hogs from helicopters

“Pork choppers,” Texas’ newest weapon in the war on feral hogs, will take to the skies Thursday when it becomes legal for hunters to buy seats on hog-hunting helicopters and gun down as many pigs as they can put in their sights.

With more than 2 million feral hogs rooting around the Lone Star State, there will be plenty of targets for aerial gunners willing to pay $475 for an hour of heli-hunting.

Vertex Helicopters is already bringing home the bacon as a result of the measure passed by the Texas Legislature this year.

The Houston-based firm requires shooters to take a $350 hunting safety course before they can book a hunt, said President Mike Morgan, a former Army helicopter pilot.

Sixty hunters have taken the course, and two more 15-person classes are already filled, he said.

“These are people who are really, really serious about shooting things,” Morgan said, noting that hunters from New York City, Missouri and Kansas have taken the course, which includes a four-hour class and 30 minutes of learning airborne target practice.

Vertex has secured landowners’ permission to hunt on more than 150,000 acres across the state and is negotiating to add another 550,000 acres, he said.

The company has booked more than 30 hunts with a three-hour minimum of flight time.

I remember my dad coughing when he came home from work and his clothes were covered in a dust, probably asbestos fibers. “When my dad was 65 years old he was diagnosed with lymphoma and he suffered with that for several years until it developed into pancreatic cancer that soon ended his life at the age of 72.” Darryl and his brothers were also in the plastering business—naturally they are concerned about their health.
