OK House Approves Bill Allowing Helicopter Hog Hunting

Helicopter hog hunting is a step closer to being legal Tuesday.

The House passed a bill that would give landowners or hunters they hire the ability to shoot wild hogs from helicopters.

Wild hogs cause an estimated $500 million in damage nationwide each year to farms, forests and wildlife habitat.

That bill is now headed to the Senate.
