ThisI would be pretty pissed if your hippityclopter flew up the canyon I was hunting so your (the hypothetical your) lazy azz didn’t have to pack your elk out. That crap gets me thinking tune ups.
They fly the helicopters here for population surveys. I upsets the animals for days.
Prob so they didn't caught on the trees would be my guessI didn’t watch the video, but why did they cut the legs off? The bigger helicopter wasn’t available? WTF…
Why not? Haven't heard of anyone really wanting the lower part of the legs.I didn’t watch the video, but why did they cut the legs off? The bigger helicopter wasn’t available? WTF…
I don't haul the legs out eitherI didn’t watch the video, but why did they cut the legs off? The bigger helicopter wasn’t available? WTF…
Yeah, I don’t pack bone either, but it’s a damn helicopter.I don't haul the legs out either
Hard to argue with that.I don’t love it but if it allows people to access and retrieve game from landlocked public parcels then I’m all for it. Landowner exploitation of public lands is one of my biggest pet peeves.
Not liking something and wanting it to be illegal are two different things. I fully understand not liking it but what real justification is there to make it illegal? If the animal is already reduced to take, what is the justification for limiting how it is retrieved, transported, etc?I just posted it to see what the rest of your opinions are.... Personally I think should be illegal as all hell !
What’s the difference between this and the fat guy with 40 helpers? I don’t like either.I'm not sure how the law applies to this on public ground, but it should be illegal as far as I'm concerned. at some point hunting needs to require some effort. let some lazy fat azz shoot a bull across a canyon 1000 yards away and then call in air support for recovery isn't my idea of what hunting should amount to.
Not necessarily. When we were doing SAR training runs, we routinely use public land.I could probably own a helicopter if I didn't fish and hunt!
Regarding public land, I think an aircraft can only land on a designated runway. It's similar to how most public land requires vehicles to stay on established roads/trails.
wrong.... i am looking at it from the view of all the other hunters in the area who just had their hunt ruined by some rich lazy ass clown who paid a helicopter to get his bullI think most people against it haven't packed out very many elk or haven't packed em out very far in nasty stuff
No different then people riding 4 wheelers and driving trucks around where other people are trying to huntwrong.... i am looking at it from the view of all the other hunters in the area who just had their hunt ruined by some rich lazy ass clown who paid a helicopter to get his bull
True, I guess we all assumed this would be taking place in a roadless area or wilderness areaIs this really any different than driving a truck or ATV out to the kill site to retrieve an animal? Yes it disturbs things in that area but driving a motorized vehicle also spooks game along the entire path of travel. But many people seem to think that is ok?
Don't get me wrong, I have backpacked out EVERY elk I or my family has ever harvested. This helicopter is probably less of an impact than all the a$$clowns that drive trucks and ATV's all over the place.
Or what about the guys that are getting dropped into landlocked public areas? This technique is even getting into TV shows but nobody is bashing that.
Sammy said it years ago.0% chance I’m comparing an atv or truck to a helicopter while hunting. I can’t believe the **** that grown men are convincing themselves of these days. Most of us apparently need rules and laws to tell us right from wrong. I constantly hear “it’s legal” or “there’s no rule against it”. Absolutely pathetic what the average man has become.
I don't disagree. Hell, I'm old enough to remember when ATV's first started showing up. Everyone complained about them and how they were going to ruin hunting and the hunting experience. Now we look at them no differently than high tech clothing or high power spotting scopes or long range rifle systems. If you look at the interstates during hunting season you would think that an ATV is REQUIRED for anyone to go hunting!0% chance I’m comparing an atv or truck to a helicopter while hunting.
