Animals adapt

We have long Rangers , bow hunters , bush stalkers ,tops hunters, infer red hunters, behind the fence and chopper hunters..... We also have head hunters ,meat hunters , weekend hunters and only roar hunters.

Now we have drone hunters ... and as we know you can glass face / slip for hours and suddenly the animal is there. Luck to em are they going to slog onto your favourite spot and then fly a drone ...probs not ... Fly/ drive into a block and use a drone to find and animal ..perhaps but we are already using spotting scopes electronic ,roaring horns scent cover ... You still have to haul your arse up there and a lot can happen from seeing and shooting.

Do I care ...not a great deal! Same with Pig hunting / dog chasing with gps dogs ..head around the road cut off the pig or set a fresh dog on it or ....get to your dogs faster know where they are .. Less worry ( stock damage) .. Less damage to the pig and dogs..

Life is about change ..the only thing that has not changed is you have to get your arse out on the hill.

Nothing wrong with drones, they seem like a very good challenge......................................... .......................... to hit with a 12g. I would imagine they would show up errors in technique faster than shooting sporting clays since clays can only go in one direction and thats not backwards
