I would steer clear of anyone who has even been near a chopper, let alone flys one

I saw one from a distance once, does that count?

Your going to look silly waiting around the heli pad till we get back then You just made yourself camp bitch. You better cook good, real good

How close? You should be OK. As long as you don't smell like A1 you should be fine.

We carried on walking back to the car realising that this is why everyone hates heli hunting when 10mins later the same helicopter flew past us at half the speed he was doing earlier blatantly showing off the animal he had chained up underneath!

All in all it was still an awesome hunt but now I have a new found hate for Heli-hunting. I mean its not really hunting its cheap, lazy and a pathetic way to harvest animals.
So yeah just wanted to share my experience with Heli-hunters haha they can got get f*cked.
'scuse my french.

Agree with others that this is WARO (venison recovery) not true "helihunting" (or AATH) where the helicopter harasses and shoots a trophy with a paying client. Seems anal to nit pick on that but true helihunting thrives on misinformation.
I sympathise on the WARO all the same- in marlborough and through caterbury we have a lot of open country prone to choppers. They are a current fact of life though and there are always deer around somewhere, I try and have a few bush areas I can hunt that arent as chopper prone if I find out the whirly birds have been through.

God, pleased there was not a hunting forum back in the 70/80,with 100 helicopters on heli hunting (etc) Hi Dave its me
