Not as hard as you'd think. This time of year, with almost no foliage, the woods are remarkably open.

I talked to the guy with APHIS and he said the first time they did it, they expected low success doing helicopter flights over hardwoods, but were surprisingly successful.

Likely to be the same guys.

It is APHIS. The Tennessee crew is coming to fly Sherburne, Pearl River, and Cat Island. One shooter and pilot. No they don't accept volunteers. I already tried. Wildlife and fisheries and APHIS will have guys on the ground to shoot runners and help direct the copter. Hopefully they will be coming back next year to do some flights in Pointe Coupee. The meat is left where it lay. It's not FDA approved for consumption.
