    It is very serious kit! The whole setup looks extremely professional. For pest eradication, as opposed to pest control, it makes sense. Fewer resources needed as the hunters can clear big areas not having to go back time after time, it will pay for itself in the long run.

    At about 70 grand all up, all capable of falling out of the sky at any moment I reckon that its even chances it may or may not pay for itself in the Long run. Two shooters, on opposite ridges with quads, thermals and radios would do almost as well.
