Low flight and wildlife

Happened here in Montana. They weren't drunk and they both lived.
Backseat passenger was the shooter. Problem was he was using a semi
automatic shotgun. He started to drop the gun and started reaching for
it. Before he knows it 3-4 shots ring out. He about blew the wing off
the plane. The damage caused the plane to be uncontrollable. They
started spinng down. Luckily they were only a couple hundred feet in the
air. Big crash. Both guys hurt but survive. Entire operation perfectly
legal. That's how we hunt coyotes here in the West. The USDA also hunts
coyotes with Cubs and helicopters as well as private parties.

In all the hunts I'm aware of in Oklahoma, the shooters were always on the
ground. The pilot usually flew alone and was just the spotter or tried to
drive the cyotes to the shooters.
