We offer the most memorable #helicopterhoghunting and machine gun shooting experiences in Texas. Fully licensed, fully insured. Safety is our main priority.
Summer in Texas means one thing at HeliBacon: full operations, three experiences, and no shortage of ways to spend your time. ๐ ๐ฅ โ๏ธ
Here's what we run:
๐ Helicopter Hog Hunting. You board the Bell 212 at daybreak, fly fifteen feet off the deck over 300,000 acres of Texas ranchland, and run full-auto on one of the most destructive invasive species in the state.
๐ Night Vision Hog Hunting. When the sun goes down, the thermal crew takes over. We locate hogs with infrared gear, close distance with vehicles, and finish on foot.
๐ฅ Machine Gun Range Experience. A standalone range day with an arsenal of belt-fed, full-auto hardware and hands-on instruction from our crew. Popular for bachelor parties, corporate outings, and groups who just want to shoot.
Three experiences. One operation.

Freedom isn't free. It's a phrase that gets thrown around a lot, but on Memorial Day it means something specific. It means names on walls, empty seats at tables, and families who carry that weight every day.
Today we honor those who never made it home.
Some dads are easy to shop for. This post isn't for those dads.
This is for the guy who has everything, wants nothing, and would never in a million years buy himself a seat on a helicopter with a full-auto rifle aimed at 300,000 acres of Texas ranchland. ๐ ๐ฅ ๐
The guy who never asks for anything and absolutely deserves spent brass rolling around his boots at fifteen feet off the deck.
Father's Day is one month out. Stop overthinking it.
What are you getting him?

Your team has sat through enough all-hands meetings. This is a different kind of offsite. ๐ฅ ๐
Six gunners, three on each side, flying full-auto over 300,000 acres of Texas ranchland. No bag limit. No PowerPoint.
Free firearms training included for every shooter on board.
We handle the logistics. You take the credit.

An arsenal you've only ever seen in movies. We let you pull the trigger. ๐ฅ
Our Machine Gun Range Experience gives you access with hands-on instruction from our crew the entire time. Come solo or bring a group. Bachelor parties, corporate outings, or just a Saturday you'll be talking about for years.

One of the most common questions we get: how many people fly together?
Six gunners. Three on each side. A crew chief rides in the back to assist each shooter, and there's room for one non-shooting observer. Up front, a pilot and sometimes a co-pilot. Up to 10 people on board.
The Bell 212 is a big helicopter. It has to be. When hogs show up on both sides of the aircraft and all six machine guns get cleared to fire, you understand why.

Spent brass rolling around your boots and green Texas ranchland through the open door. The only thing better than this view is what happened five seconds ago.

Feral hogs don't graze. They destroy. They tear through root systems, gut cropland overnight, and breed so fast that trapping and ground hunting barely dents the population.
Texas has over 2.5 million of them. No bag limit. No off-season. Legal to hunt year-round during civil twilight hours. And it's still not enough. ๐ซ ๐
So we hunt them from the air. Full-auto. Fifteen feet off the deck. Pest control with a purpose.

Think you need years of firearms experience to hunt from a helicopter? You don't.
We cover firearm handling, helicopter operations, communication commands, and everything else you need to operate safely in the air. You show up with a good attitude and a willingness to learn, and we handle the rest.
Fully licensed. Fully insured. Free firearms training included. And an injury-free track record we plan to keep.

Hogs get bold after sunset.๐ So do we. ๐ถ๏ธ๐ฅ
We use thermals to locate them, vehicles to cut distance, and boots on the ground to finish the job. Itโs controlled, deliberate, and built for real terrain, not manicured fields. ๐ฅ๐๐
This is Night Vision Hog Hunting.
โญ Texas has a hog problem. This is how we handle it. โญ
THERE IS NO OFF-SEASON. ๐๐ฅ
Feral hog hunting in Texas is legal year-round during civil twilight hours.
But we donโt fly during rifle deer season. Safety comes first. ๐ฆ
In our region, deer season runs early November through mid-January. That means helicopter hunts run:
๐ Mid-January through October
๐ WednesdayโSaturday
November through mid-January?
๐ซ Machine Gun Range Experiences by day.
๐ Night Vision Hog Hunts after dark.
Helicopters pause.
The adrenaline doesnโt. ๐ฅ
