Description

The advanced infrared technology of U.S. military continues to dominate the battlefield in combat operations all over the world. This equipment is now available to our state and federal wildlife professionals who are involved with the removal of many different animal species. We demonstrate the use of this technology for feral hog (Sus scrofa) removal in southwest Georgia by implementing tactical control methods. Nuisance animal removal is very effective and efficient at night using military-grade, high-resolution thermal devices.
