Hunting & Recovery
Using drones and thermal sensors to locate both live and deceased animals
Service Description
Commercial drones with thermal cameras to locate and track animals. During a hog hunt, thermal imaging drones can be used to scan large areas of land quickly and efficiently. The thermal cameras can detect the heat signatures of hogs or deer, even in dense vegetation or low-light conditions. Once hogs are detected, hunters can use the information from the drone to move in and locate the animals. The use of infrared drones can increase the chances of a successful hunt and maintain a safe distance while tracking the animals through challenging terrain. A wildlife hunting drone with thermal imaging helps hunters locate wounded or deceased animals in dense cover, especially at night, by detecting their heat signatures, allowing for easier recovery and minimizing disturbance to the surrounding wildlife; essentially, it enables hunters to find animals that might otherwise be lost without disturbing them by searching from a distance with a thermal camera. Key points about using thermal drones in wildlife hunting: -Improved recovery rate: --Thermal imaging allows hunters to spot a wounded animal's heat signature even when hidden in thick foliage, leading to a higher chance of retrieving the game. -Reduced disturbance: --By flying overhead, the drone minimizes disruption to other wildlife in the area compared to ground-based searching. -Night hunting capabilities: --Thermal cameras can detect heat sources in low-light conditions, enabling hunting during nighttime hours. -Efficient scanning: --Drones can quickly scan large areas, making it faster to locate a downed animal. -Ethical hunting practices: --By facilitating the recovery of wounded animals, thermal drones can contribute to more ethical hunting practices.
