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 😜

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!

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.
