Abstract
According to an embodiment, a hunting drone includes a hunting mechanism, a net gun, a flying mechanism, and a control unit. The hunting mechanism captures a target. The net gun generates a sound at the time of firing a hunting net. After approaching the target to a predetermined distance, the hunting drone captures the target using the hunting mechanism, while avoiding false recognition of the target by using the sound generated at the time of firing the net gun as a threatening sound to repel a wrong target such as a bird.
