Get ready for the ultimate adventure with the HeliBacon Helicopter Hog Hunt package. This two-person experience includes two hours of flight time, where both participants will fly and shoot together, taking on wild hogs from the skies in the Bell 212 helicopter. You’ll be armed with a full-auto machine gun, and all of the ammunition you could possibly need. To ensure safety and comfort, a mandatory safety course will be provided before the flight, and the experience is captured on video so you can relive the excitement. Your hunt begins with a one-hour safety course at Coulter Airfield, followed by a thrilling
sunrise helicopter ride, taking advantage of the cool morning temperatures and the best hunting conditions.

SPECIAL NOTES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS ON AUCTION HUNTS AND TRIPS
1. Upgrading your hunt, while not required, is certainly appreciated by our donors. If you do not want to add another animal, consider bringing along a friend. This really helps out these outfitters and hunting companies that are trying to help us! With few exceptions, these donors are not wealthy philanthropists, but rather they donate to help wildlife, ensure the future of our sport, and generate new business for themselves. Please do what you can to help!
2. If you buy a hunt at our auction that the donor fails to provide for you, through no fault of your own, we will make arrangements for a replacement hunt or we will issue you a credit. If you simply find it inconvenient to go on the dates available, or change your mind for some reason, then it is to be worked out between you and the outfitter. The buyer is responsible for communicating directly with the outfitter to confirm dates and details.
3. Different hunts include or specify different things, such as meals, lodging, transportation, weapon type, (gun, bow, or either), available dates, etc. Please read the descriptions carefully. As a general rule, hunting licenses are not included, unless on an enclosed game ranch. On Canadian hunts, there may be a Goods and Services Tax added to the selling price of the donated hunt (approximately 7%).
4. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO refunds, exchanges or credits.
5. We do our best to solicit donated hunts only from competent outfitters. However, we do not guarantee the quality or success of any hunt purchased at this auction. All of this said, it is important to note that hunts purchased at our auction generally go very well, with both the donor and the buyer being well satisfied. Certain trips such as mountain hunts or spot and stalk hunts require a high level of physical fitness to maximize the opportunity for success. Other trips, such as game ranch hunts, are not physically demanding.
6. Please report the results of your donated hunt on the form included in your buyer’s packet. We really would like to know how it went. We also would like to encourage all buyers to submit photos and/or a complete story for publication in our chapter’s newsletter.
7. All sales and prizes are subject to state and federal taxes including sales tax.
