Skyco, Funny but true and I thought about that too. Mainly poachers seem to be cowards, so they come at night or when we are not around.
Mainly, I want to look at the property to see the condition of the trees, water flow, the river (1000' of river front), any ATV damage and how much is wetland.
As to poachers: I want to ensure no animal is left on the ground, see if they have left debris again and see entry points.
Travis, There is a Regional Airport about two miles North of us. I have called and mainly was told prices out of my range. However; you are right about a visit to see if a private owner would like to fly us around for gas. I see aircraft of all types (from helos to small jets) learning the airport.
I also want to look into the high tree tops as we have quite a collection of birds. I would like to check for bears as I saw one on a game camera and smelled one two winters ago as I walked in the snow.
There are so many snakes and other that I carry a Tarus 45/410 or a 357 S&W. I saw (game cam) what I thought was a wolf and now think is a well fed Eastern Coyote. It was huge with broad head and lead forward in it's stance. It just stood and stared at our barn.
