## Resource

In this episode of The Drone On Show, Mike sits down with Cameron Hershberger to dive deep into the world of thermal drones for deer recovery and the booming spray drone business in agriculture. Cam shares his incredible journey from a logging background to building a thriving drone service that's recovered over 100 deer in just one season! We cover everything from starting a side gig that exploded into a full-time passion, the challenges of balancing hunting with drone work, wild stories of close calls in the woods (both logging and deer tracking), and Cam's plans to expand into Belize for untapped farming opportunities. Plus, tips on customer service, regulations, and why passion beats profit-chasing in this industry. Whether you're a hunter, drone enthusiast, or aspiring entrepreneur, this episode is packed with real-talk insights, and advice on avoiding scams in drone recoveries.
