Thread: Technology- Where are we heading

A 10/22 mounted directly down would be good for nailing rabbits in vinyards.

PB Tech in Hamilton had a sale on them last week. Had some of the bigger ones up to about 7k I think.

Read the book, it's way better!

Rifle golf, but only drone mounted rifles allowed

And people thought Skynet and Terminators were just a fantasy

slow moving I reckon you could shoot it down

Animals adapt... Know of a farm that backed on to a 1080'd block no would go near it for 6 months + ...they have shot 50 + foot longs to 30 lbs in the last three months started sneaking in on dusk , then spot lighting , now infer red ...now the pigs know the red light means danger ...paddocks are upside down.. 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

lots of things can affect them .
bloody expensive to buy a decent one .
need a special license to operate .
wind can affect them in a big way.
Mate who works with us in the mines has a couple of flash ones.
he has invested a lot of coin into it as a photography business and has spent a lot of time and money to get license.
You still have to get close enough to shoot and cart gear into the hills chargers and lots of stuff would be needed to run it.
crash it and have to get it back from up a tree on a bluff .
cant see it being a real issue or do any damage.

I think it matter what side of the fence it lands on, might be considered poaching

Some one would claim it

Whenever there is a significant change that can change hunting (or any other "manly" sport) someone will pipe in that it is cheating or steals the spirit of the action. I don't foresee ever using drones but I won't poo poo someone for trying something new. That being said, I am glad for certain innovations in hunting bc I have no interest in jumping from a horse to face and angry boar with a short spear. (The true manly way to hunt pigs).
