                How do you guys think the heli-shoot is going to effect GRXH?

                Congrats on the sow Chris.

                  It affects it 100%, the hog hunting is no where close to as good after the heli shoot. As i say every year, its sad that it takes place. I know why they do it, but I dont have to agree.
                  The Ranger hunt is still fun though, more about being there with fellow blood brothers than hunting hogs.

                    Does anyone know if they did it for a week last year? that seems alot longer. It seems they did it for two days and if the weather was bad they moved it to the next week.
                    Im hoping for a hurricane that week lol

                        The idea of being ultra restrictive with access and weapons usage re hunters/hunting in the Granger WMA so as to limit unnecessarily the sportsman's take and then forking over same sportsman's tax dollars to fund helishoots to let carcasses rot in the sun and reduce same sportsman's chances for a successful hunt in return for their $48 APH Permit dough to appease landownwers is silly. Interesting...you hike around the borders of the WMA and you see all kinds of hog traps across the fence on the private land side replete with all the usual threatening no-hunting/trespassing signs...and then you hear them complain of the hog nuisance on public news stations and read about it in the papers about the poor, poor folks hog troubles ...but let's not let anybody hunt a hog on their place for less than a few hundred bucks , and surely let's grouse if a hunter wants access PAST the property to get to the WMA, or heaven forbid use a shortrange firearm (while happily okaying helishooting in the exact same areas, go figure)....like Crod I also understand their logic in this but I also respectfully disagree with it as well.

                          Guessing it will be 2 days, i dont see them closing everything off for the fisherman during the weekend.

                          I agree idaho.

                          Lets hope for bad weather.

                            What kind of new fence and where? That would totally mess with my hunting strategy for the months the corn is up and it's hot - if the pigs couldn't get back down into the thick WMA stuff and water holes/wallows from the corn fields after daybreak. I basically stalked the borders along the old fence that did exist there (a VERY "holey" one) and ambush the pigs coming back in from the neighboring fields. Some of those gaping holes in the existing fence were like hog superhighways leading right down to bedding/wallowing/watering areas...PLEASE don't tell me they've cut off those "funnels"....arrghh..they didn't, did they???

                              Ohhh lots of new fence, our license dollars at work. Hogs will have a tough time getting under it.
