What are the specs on the rifles in the first post?

You have to get in on a group thing to drive the cost down.

Both rifles are S&W MP-15's.

No shit. That is a thousand dollar day for a couple hours of hunting. If I had the coin I would be doing it to so I am not mad at them for it.

I saw some hunts at the SCI show in Jan that were going for about $1000 an hour and that doesnt include the land to fly on....

Reminds me of my Grandfather, RIP. He flew helo's in way West Texas years ago carrying hunters looking for just about any varmint they could find from the air. We still have pelts from bobcats, wolverine, coyotes (of course), and even a mountain lion, etc. (Supposedly the first mountain lion killed from the air, but who knows.) Hunting from up there sure does increase your chances, but they have to be good pilots, especially in the West Texas terrain our towards Ft. Stockton. Wish I could have gone on a few hunts with him before he passed.

Here you go guys-

These guys are friends of mine, and I maintain the helicopters. I dont know the rates, but you can call them and find out. They supply guns and ammo, and have lots of other guns to shoot and stuff to shoot at. They have a nice lodge out there, food is supposed to be pretty good, and they supply the liquor after the hunt!

I think I talked with these guys at the SCI show, I cant remember the guys name but he was a really nice guy. They need to get a R44 for these types of hunts. They are missing the group hunter market with the R22's.

The company we used was Exotic Game Management out of Kerrville. They found the same thing, they started with R22's and business was a little slow and as soon as they started using R44's the bookings went through the roof.
