Helicopters and Bush Planes have been used for years to access remote wilderness areas in AK and NWT. The biggest reason we use this is the time factor, some areas would take you weeks if not months to hike into just to hunt. Unfortunately most of us cannot take the time out from work or the rest of our busy lives to do this so I don't see anything wrong with using Jeep, ATV, Plane, Helicopter, or Boat to get to a hunting area. Instead of being critical on the way the this person was hunting by helicopter, realize he could have just as easily fell if he had hiked up there. He was just trying to enjoy a hunt in a limited amount of time. Taking the lazy train of thought then using anything to hunt your animal besides a sharp pointy stick is lazy.Who hunts with the help of a helicopter? Talk about lazy.
I understand what you are saying about if an animal can walk there why can't I. Think about this, for humans it isn't survival of the fittest and we are not adapted to live in the enviroments that most animals live in. I'll bet Mountain Goats can go places you can't without serious equipment.I just think getting there is half the fun. But a lot of people want the easy way. That's fine for them. As for not getting there except by helicopter if an animal can walk there i can follow.
