Any of yall using drones at night to figure out where the turkeys are roosting? Seems like it would be an incredible tool especially on public land?

Anyone who would resort to such a tactic would probably shoot a Hen Turkey or a Spotted Fawn!!

Yeah, I got one with thermal. I just fly it around to see them sitting in the trees. We get to use muzzleloaders around here. I got a thermal on mine with an integrated silencer. All I do is wait until legal time and blow them off the limb....in a nightmare!

It's OK to not kill a turkey. In fact if the turkey doesn't win most of the time it gets old and turkeys disappear. I'm not joking. If I start knocking them down too fast I lose my enthusiasm. If an ol' limbhanger beats me several times I get fired up. That's old school turkey fun. No technology, no big guns, no bait plots and durn sure no turkey dollies.

Seems like a great way to get an actual numbers of turkeys in an area.

Too rainy to fish outside?? 😂😂
It would be a great way to get a number on them when the leaves were off the trees. There’s actually a guy in west al. that has started doing that for deer and probably anything else you want to know about your property, or the property you want to buy or lease. Don’t remember his name or the company, but I do remember his drone costing a little over $16K. 😳

I use a drone to check and see if they are feeding at my corn feeder before slipping into my shooting house.

Not a problem I’ve ever had to deal with.

Right but was watching these drone deer recoveries and they see all konds of critters. That got me thinking about seeing turkeys. Which got me thinking about how much more efficient a drone could make hunting public ground
I may get me one and see if it works for turkeys in the national forest

I’ve heard about a guy that uses one to find birds roosted on the edges of big fields. At some point technology will have to be banned from hunting/fishing. I would bet in 10 years or so you’ll see a reduction in the limit of crappie because of all the crappie pros livescope has made.

Eeeee deer eeee I love you so d

I bet drones are banned before livescope cause there are some guys already using drones to find deer and turkey. Crappue are so plentiful I dont know that livescooe can hurt their #s

I never thought they could be depleted but our 200 acre lake at work has been. We never catch but a few 1# or under fish and the last three years we’ve only caught less and less each year. Between cormorants and a healthy bass population I think they’ve destroyed the crappie. We only allowed 5 per person per day but have only allowed them to be kept one of the last three years. Our average crappie will weigh around 1.5-2#. It’s pretty crazy.

the comorants should be banned

Pretty sure drones are already banned. Surprised cell cams are legal. I remember back in the days of dog hunting you would get a ticket if caught using CB radios to run down deer.

That's surpising. I'm a dog hunter and I dont know anyone who runs dogs without some sort of a radio.
