I know that here in south dakota they have two state planes w pilots they use for predator control. First time I walked by the plane and saw a rem 870 tucked in beside the seat, kind of made me wonder. After I asked around I found out it was the state gfp pilot. My next question was how do I get that job. Also know an old cropduster around here that used to hunt coyote from a helicopter. As far as I know unless you are with gfp, you can only hunt non game species (coyote, varmint) and only on private, or your own land. Right now there is a lot of controversy over this, one of the pilots had a little crash, totalled out the airplane. Luckily pilot and game warden both walked away.
