Since it will be used mostly for waterfowl I won’t be getting close enough to ducks for it to matter. If I see some I don’t want to spook them, and they fly into my drone or something. More or less just looking at the terrain of the landscape to judge if it might be huntable or not. I think as long as I can show the video to the Gw I’m not chasing ducks or hunting them I think I should be ok.

Also, a detailed log of when and how the drone is flown would be highly suggested, that way if a GW ever says I saw you fly it, and you have to argue that you weren't flying, you have the log to prove you didn't fly that day.

We have used drones when videoing for CARNIVORE for several years. Two years ago we went with the Yuneec Typhoons and have had much better luck with them than the DJI's. We crashed one in Canon de Chelley and it fell 250 feet on the rocks and was totally demolished. The boys crawled down and picked up what pieces that they could find and we sent them to Yuneec along with an explanation of what happened. They replaced it at no charge.
Adios,
Gary

I've been impressed with the DJI software. It is very user friendly, at least for a newbie like myself.

I hunted on a high fence ranch and we had a hunter that used one. It was one of the top of the line models and it was really cool to see the view that it gave. How ever he would sit at camp and fly that thing all over the ranch and it the spooked animals. They would be feeding under the feeder and then take off like a shot. A few seconds later I would hear the drone fly by. It got old real fast

We haven't used our phantoms for hunting but we have used them to deploy baits while surf fishing. We have run baits out to 500yards. Last August we made a trip to Crystal beach ended the trip with 23 red fish over 37" and roughly 75 sharks all under 35". It's a blast we were using 5oz weights an 6-8oz of bait. Flew them out like a champ. We would get about three drops on one battery.
