What some people don't realize is there is a world of difference between SPORT hunting and DEPREDATION hunting, and they often get the two confused. Helicopter hunting IS NOT sport hunting rather it is depredation hunting, and some people are willing to PAY for the right to go on a depredation hunt. I believe this is why others confuse it for sport hunting.
Why on earth someone would pay to go depredation hunting is beyond me. Depredation hunting is really just killing at all costs and by any means possible because the species in question NEEDS to be rid of! You are not hunting this animal for any resource it can provide, but rather to simply kill it and leave it lay. You are killing because you have to, or in other words killing because that is what needs to be done!
I will say this, not everyone is cut out for this type of "work", and thats really what it is "work"! Its not a hobby or a past time, its work. You kill all you can or all you need to in order to accomplish your "goal", throw the animals in the dumpster and walk away. Not everyone can handle that but often thats exactly what has to be done in order to protect natural reasources, people's livelyhood, and in some instances people lives!
