• What is helicopter hunting?

Helicopter hunting, also known as heli-hunting or aerial hunting, is a method where hunters use helicopters to locate and pursue game animals. This practice is often associated with hunting feral hogs or other invasive species, as the helicopters provide an efficient means to cover large areas quickly and locate groups of animals. Hunters in the helicopter use firearms to shoot at the animals from the air. Helicopter hunting is regulated in many regions to address safety concerns and ensure adherence to hunting regulations. It is an effective method for controlling invasive species and managing wildlife populations, especially in areas where these species cause ecological or agricultural damage.
