and you guys have the kiwis to thank for this style of live capture back in the 70s we had what was called the venison wars where some crazy ass shooters and pilots started it and made massive money doing it in the roughest country and toughest flying conditions in the world
That's defiantly Jay Smith, and the character with the beer and the net gun is Corey. I've had the luck to fly with both of them in an R-22 and they are amazing pilots. This video is nothing compared to what I've seen in person over the last 4 years of Texas A&M Kingsville research captures, 250 bucks a weekend in Webb county TX. I've seen Jay trim mesquite tree tops with his tail rotor, and stand that sucker up on a tail stand and whip it right back around and net the deer. Great video!
2nd of all- I'm in my 1st year of Wildlife Management at SWTJC and I've been on 3 deer capture's so far. It is AMAZING. We fly with Holt helicopters but I'm sure it's the same experience. Definitely the biggest adrenaline rush I've got in my life!
1st of all. I'd like to point out that those that are against it are inexperienced, uneducated, not in touch with the real world, sheltered....the list goes on and on. Until you've tried something. You can't be against it.
I did this yesterday it was the best experience ever running up to a chopper carrying a doe off the basket and then switched over to packing the nets for the net gun just out of curiosity is that dusty holts crew?
I'm the Videographer/Editor, so I managed to keep myself out of the video. I did get some great air time, shooting from a chase helicopter and from inside the cockpit; had the time of my life!
yeah we were using a R-22 as the net chopper and the R-44 to carry them to teh processing area we couldn't ride in the R-44 due to the weight justification of carrying a deer in the basket located on the skids and their was about 30 of us we had to due about 40 does it took around 7 hours due to the late start and not being able to sling load them
Just wondering if yall were on the king ranch when yall did this? If so cool because im gonna get to do this in 3 weeks over there. Great vid thanks for posting!
No, that was invented in SW Kansas. In the 80's we didn't have all that "fancy" equipment, so we just used a fishing net and a trebuje. (First liar never has a chance.......)
Don't for get, it was the American Hero Spiderman that inspired the idea of the Development of the Net Gun! abit of History for you.
