Wouldn’t it be pretty easy now for the DCNR to do some kind of thermal drone density census for each county??

That would be fine by me, long as I know when they're doing it so it doesn't mysteriously get shot down

Negative.. the ADNR would have to admit that the deer population is more like a half a million rather than one million +.

There are 16 other species designated as game animals. Why just deer? The adcnr is responsible for setting seasons and bag limits for all of them.

So ,

Fill it up fly it in a straight line gather info . Why fly around and around one small spot .

Long run drones be the worst of the two. Chopper cover more ground faster .



Imo its all a waste of money.

Choppers can’t hover above a deer without spooking them, zoom in the camera, and see if it is a buck or doe. Or they might could, but I would think it would be really hard with the typical canopy Alabama has.

It would be very expensive to get any meaningful data. It would have to be done for years to have any data to compare. Then what to do with all that data? Something would have to be done to justify the cost even if it makes no sense.

To see if its a buck or doe ? Thats f$cking laughable . That is not even thinkable.

By the time they completed the survey the survey would be useless . Lol

What the dumb asses should have done before they rammed the worthless game check on us they should sent out 50,000 or 75,000 more survey letters out to hunters with better questions.

And spent a little money pushing it .


It's just bs bs and more bs and so many hunters just fall for it . I guess we hunters can pay just a few more dollars to pay for the survey , it just a few more dollars.

Drone surveys are a great snapshot of an exact number of a deer on a property at a given time. You can indeed get buck:doe ratios, ages and fawn recruitment as long as you have a good operator who can identify deer. The zooming capabilities of these drones is unbelievable.
