Two, the fly such a drone, are Christine Salomon and Richard Paul. Even on the holidays, both are in use, in order to preserve fawns in front of the Mähtod. So, too, on whit Monday in the vicinity of Dalherda.
It is shortly before 7 o’clock, as fighter, drone pilots and those interested in meeting on a Meadow below the village. The equipment is unpacked, rubber boots are tightened. The Grass is almost waist high, and without technical AIDS, it would be almost impossible for young animals in the Meadow track. But that is exactly what is happening in front of the Mowing, is hunting pächter Helmut Boldt particularly important. Each year, he is looking for, together with other hunters, the land in his area.
The drone starts, Richard Paul draws you in, always the same tracks through the high Grass. The first Meadow is “kitzfrei”, right next to the thermal image camera, however, shows a suspicious spot. Jäger, Gerhard healing is on the way and you’re in luck: A young fawn presses on the floor. Blades of grass are plucked out of the animal – none- only if there is no human scent on the young, it is also accepted by the mother. The fawn is carried in a Box in a nearby grain field, there, hidden spikes between the grains, stored.
The group approaches a further Lawn, as a Ricke starts up and takes flight. The hunters are sure: Here is a fawn must be hidden. The drone tracks the young animal, the volunteers of bergen, this skillfully and store it in a safe place. After about two hours the operation is over, the kids are in safety.
Important note:
Hidden in the midst of a hedge or in the tall Grass: The young of birds, rabbits and deer walkers are likely to encounter in the forest or on the Meadow at present more and more often. The sight of a supposedly helpless and lonely Rehkitzes may arouse the desire to want to save this. Especially if this make any electronical noises, too. Ricken, for example, hide their fawns in high Grass. After a few hours, the mothers return to nurse the young animals. A Problem there is only when the young animal touch from the Finder or from the dogs is touched. The strange smell leads only to the young animals to be violated and then have to starve to death. It is also for this reason, a Kitzrettung should be carried out exclusively by skilled persons. (mr)
