Years ago, nobody would have envisioned helicopters being used to herd cattle, but the fact is that by employing helicopters on ranches to assist in rounding up cattle it can be very cost efficient. A pilot with experience can use the helicopter to easily spot and herd cattle. While this will never replace cowboys or ranch hands, it saves a tremendous amount of time and effort, not to mention labor costs. It also lessens the burden on cowboys, horses and even the cattle.
Helicopter Hog Hunting Texas has other benefits as well. By getting a helicopter in the air, this provides the rancher the ability to see wounded or sick cattle. They can also monitor the condition of vegetation, check on fencing or water supplies, and get an aerial view of the overall state of the ranch. The experienced pilots at Smith Helicopters can help ranchers expedite their cattle wrangling operate in a more efficient manner.
Any rancher knows that trying to herd cattle on horseback will take days, not hours. When it comes to Helicopter Hog Hunting Texas, it has been proven that by using three helicopters, over 600 cattle can be rounded up in a matter of approximately five hours. This would have taken 15 cowboys at least a full day, if not more. While there is an abundance of pilots out there, many of them do not know a thing about rounding cattle. It has become standard practice to teach a cowboy with ranch experience how to fly a helicopter, and it is easier to do that than train a pilot with no ranch knowledge to round up cattle.
Ranchers have found other benefits with helicopters. They can rely on them to provide accurate reports of wildlife that is on the property. Pilots can provide exact numbers, even down to the species involved so that ranchers know what they are dealing with, and how best to clear them out. Ranchers rely on helicopters now to also provide concise reports on deer population. Specific information can detail the percentage of fawns that survive, and even a buck to doe percentage. Wildlife capture services are even being provided with helicopters. Whether it is for research, breeding purposes, or even relocating the animals, doing it with an aerial view is more efficient for ranchers.
