I used to use a drone to check my hog traps.
You can pick up a good used DJI phantom 3 for $200-$400'ish (depending on what it comes with). We live in far NE Oklahoma, it's all hills and valleys here and I had no problems with it going 1/2 mile radius easily. I put an Argtek range extender on it and then could go out well over a mile (much further if the ground is flat). If you want to get real fancy, you can even load software that will allow you to have way-points that it stops and checks automatically for you.What would it cost a man to get into a complete set up good enough to check some traps and check ponds. Say, at least a half mile radius, preferably more?
I use my drone quite often to look for the hogs out where I hunt. Its a lot of ground to try and cover walking, so sometimes Ill just pull in the gate and send the drone around to scan the fields and creek. It would definitely help to use a tablet rather than your cell phone to see when you are flying, otherwise you may not even notice some of the animals until you get home and watch the video on a bigger screen.

Every coyote and deer hunter should check out drones too. You would not believe how useful they are for finding critter routes. They're easy to operate too, even a neanderthal can do it!
Interesting... in Oklahoma?I have been using a drone for duck hunting, and it works great! Flushes them from impenetrable areas, straight into waiting guns.
