So I assume you've already pre-ordered one for your hunting buggy and have another ordered for the drone you're undoubtedly building?
The technology is already moving so fast it's hard to even imagine what you could do with adequate funding. By the time you get something mounted up and learn to use it Flir has a new gadget that you must have. I'm almost dizzy with the options that are available.
You could make hunting video's from your ATV and/or a drone quite easily and even have someone operate it to video you hunting on the ground while they flew the drone and filmed it from above. The applications seem endless.
Here's another idea. You could send an RC little monster truck to check all your bait sites and I bet the hogs would find it curious at bestand not be afraid of it. LOL
Imagine sitting in your pickup while out hunting and sending out the drone or RC Monster truck to find the hogs while you listened to Patsy Cline on your truck radio. LOL
All I can say is WOW!!! Another gottahaveit gadget for my wishlist....
A lot of states have laws against aerial location of game. I wonder if any do for RC monster trucks... LOL
I know that hogs aren't considered a game species by most game departments but the chances of using drones for location of say deer will surely be legislated against in the next few years.
Imagine sitting down to call coyotes and having a telescoping pole on a tripod where you could elevate the camera and pan 360 degrees. No more having coyotes sneak in downwind and bust you.
The applications are seemingly endless and suddenly having to hold a thermal monocular to one eye and gazing through it for hours seems somehow completely stone age... LOL
