On the ride home he does some fancy Kiowa Pilot shit and we drop map of the earth in a creek bed and roar 16 miles to camp. I'm so pissed off I'm not enjoying it and I'm contemplating breaking his ****ing jaw when we land. I'm paying for this shit....

The last group goes up and returns soaked from the light rain, never having seen a pig......the pilot basically says "well it's raining....and might all day, I'm booked tomorrow so you might think about going home if you don't want to wait 2 days(with no lodging...and the promised camp chef that wasn't there and had not made the breakfast we had been promised)

We're still paying full price if we leave.....but getting half the air time. This guy is a dick.

Late afternoon the weather breaks. First group goes up....Its about my turn and I'm annoyed enough with this asshole that I don't even care to go up for my second trip...I offer it to the other 4 guys but they insist I go. Reluctantly I do...but if he acts like he did last time, I'm not responsible for my actions on the ground.....

We strap in, tether our weapon choices to our chest strap and lift off. After half an hour of nothing, we are hovering over ground that is the wrong color on the map. My brother sees a cluster of hogs below us and tells the pilot. He doesn't believe him because he didn't see them first.....they are there....we hover up and down to try to get them to flee across a river where we can shoot....pilot says they will never go. My brother grins and says "watch this" and starts waving his arms up and down....and the cluster breaks for the creek. We drop lower and watch them cross a shallow river...they're going to enter a large field where we can shoot.....50-60 pigs are entering an open field. This is what I thought it would be like.

We swoop in low behind them, we're instructed to start at the back and work forward with the group...which we already knew from years of deer hunting. My brother in the front, I in the rear seat and we begin to lay waste. The hogs split into 2 groups of 30 and we're on them. We're both firing essentially on the same pig, it rolls and then move up to the next. I turn a little up when I lean and I see a brass eject into the hood of my brother's pullover and it goes down his neck...It's funny but not funny.....He goes on a terror of 3 round bursts and rolls pig after pig before I can even shoot. When it's over we leave 18 on the ground in that field. The pilot, who has been a complete asshole the entire time begins to cheer and says "holy shit, you guys CAN shoot" and mentions using my brother's video as training for his future hunts.

The last group goes up again, never sees a pig. We all pay full price, they say it's too muddy to collect any meat and basically want us to leave.

It was fun but we went with the wrong outfit. My brother said the guy was an asshole because he was a warrant officer in the army too long.

You should have blasted him with some of your CP fire.

And videoed it.

I would pay money for that shit.
