Thermal Drones

[OO2]

Pretty cool! Are you able to see upland game? I always thought it’d be cool to see how many pheasants we walked by in the field. Not with the intent to go hunt them again but for info only.

I understand that page 42 in the book states: “drones are prohibited in hunt-ing or the aid of hunting for all game.”

just would be neat to see where the pheasants started, how they acted with pressure from the dogs and silent hunters vs guys yelling for their dogs

I’ve yet to see a pheasant. I’ve seen about everything else though. Squirrels and coons in the tops of trees, birds. I even saw a rabbit hanging out with a good buck this morning. I may have pics of that. If so I’ll post em in a bit.

Do you think this could help a certain someone we know?

The deer fart Seth and I seen blew my mind. Zero question on what happened. Clear as day.

Doubt it, but what’s a man without hope?

Don’t fly it around the strouds camp ground next week!

My offer still stands with both of you guys. Ever need a driver or co-pilot, just holler.

I will take you up on this at some point I am sure. I have a strict 9pm bedtime and have a feeling i will be breaking curfew quite often with this gig.

My first thought was late season Pheasant counts in some of those big Scioto River basin CREP fields. Im excited to see just how well this works. I know finding rabbits in the tall CRP fields doesn't seem to be a problem at all.

Not to completely derail your thread but I think it’s be useful for brood surveys in the spring as well!

Yep, lots of plans in the works. Not even the sky is the limit with these things! I've already used mine to count giant Allegheny Mound builder ant hills for a group, which light up like a firework.

Nocturnal birds were very active this morning. No idea what they were but some were zipping by close enough to make me nervous.

Got a screenshot of that? Be cool to see as I know I tripped 47,932 times on them.

The good ones are on my computer and don't have time to fetch at the moment, but these are the ones I posted on my FB page.

They live like a toddler or my retired Uncle?

They live a pretty relaxed lifestyle until something tries to eat them.
