Do the piggies even bother with flyovers in some areas?

Everyone knows what flyovers look for, but does anyone know where and how often they look?

Alright, here's my situation. Im gonna grow 30 to 50 plants in michigan, kinda of in country, on my property, in the woods, smack dab in the middle of a huge briar patch, right next to a creek, and like most other outdoor growers flyovers are a huge concern to me.

To me nothing is worth risking over a year in prison.

Here's where i become curious. Michigan has a ton, i mean a TON of water. there are creeks and lakes EVERYWHERE and im just thinking it would be a huge waste of money to have a helicopter follow every creek in michigan to look for outdoor grow ops.

Does anyone no anything about where, why, and how often they do flyovers? Michigan or elsewhere would both be helpful.

All i can seem to find is articles about HUGE busts using flyovers, never like ten plants. But then again 10 or 20 plants isn't really newsworthy.

You say "To me nothing is worth risking over a year in prison. " then don't even plant outside if you can't handle the risk just my opinion. there will always be a risk that you might get cought so don't expect it to be cake. with that being said you should try and cover the ground around the plants with leaves and some hunting camaflouge this should help with flybys not seeing your garden goodluck..

Spread 'em out. You put that many plants in one cluster or field of vision and they'll spot it from a mile up, and just like terrorizer said..... cover that ground up underneath them and I'll add to plant them around other plants that are shaped/colored similar from above. I do have a little bit of knowledge about flyovers but I'm not sure that they are the same all over.
