Questionable pursuit - Hunting wild boars using advanced drones
"Standing a few meters away, he gazed at the wild boar he had claimed. Thankfully, nothing happened to my fellow hunters; the wolf fleed," narrates Christian Teppe (51), a hunter, and writer. Though infrequent, one thing is now undeniable: "Our wolves have learned that when there's a loud noise, there's food waiting."
In light of serious situations or, as Teppe would describe, "to make hunting more comfortable," hunters are embracing the use of drones.
The idea of using drones over dachshunds baffles Teppe. However, Benjamino Lorenzi (42), the head of a hunting outfitter "Frankonia Hannover," shares his reservations while admitting that some misguided individuals are using drones inappropriately. One such instance is hunting pigs.
"It's true that a 10-hectare cornfield can be scanned with a drone in fairly little time to determine if and where there are any wild boars," says Lorenzi. "Yet, a properly trained dog can perform this task just as effectively."
Drones enable effortless first-shot success
Hunters adhere to the principle of "hunting ethics." Advanced technologies such as thermal imaging cameras and drones enable shooters to swiftly kill pigs.
We no longer use the term "pig plague" as was common a few years back. In its place, "many hunters are seated high on their seats with their backsides flat due to deer getting pushed directly towards the villages by wolves."
The adoption of these techniques seems inevitable. "But a dog must always accompany you," states Teppe. "Hunters are compelled not just to obey the law of preservation, which includes protect the diversity of game species."
