Uugh! Bullneddle, I cringe at the very word. Lots of experience with that as a kid. Our over flight area is about 80% thicket with quite a bit mesquite and thorn bushes. Any searching that needs to be done needs to be done now, during the winter months. There are about 6 planes or so lost out there. Not a good idea to search in the summer because of rattle snakes. One of my winter projects is to build a beeping black box that is self powered. Just pull a "Remove before Flight" pin to activate it and it will wait a given time span (about 15 minutes) then start beeping with a loud device. I hope to get 48 hours out of it by controlling the frequency of beeps.
