Pullstart 62,123 #302 Posted August 14 I am no professional, but from what little research I’ve done, I cannot fly my drone with intent of finding deer during the day of my hunt. I can’t see much a difference between scouting from the air or from as many trail cameras as I’d like to place. I’m open to being proven wrong and might even reach out to the local game warden. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it is illegal to hunt from motorized vehicles or to use electronic devices to call or herd deer while hunting. But is it illegal to video deer from the air? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every state probably has its own laws or are working on them but I would guess that it would be unlawful to do it the same day you hunt. Unlawful if it harasses the deer. Something along those lines. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,123 #306 Posted August 14 @midpack I agree, they love that fresh dirt! Digging my water hole for them, they tore up the dirt before there was water in place. Plowing my food plots, they were curios before I planted! The backfill from my old water hole? It’s become a social rub! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,123 #307 Posted August 14 To be clear, I don’t want break any laws. With the concern, a I have sent my local CO a message, asking for regulations on the subject. I’ll refrain from flying near the deers for the time being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 37,402 #308 Posted August 14 In Pee Aaa It is currently illegal for a hunter to not attempt to recover and completely use the meat from a harvested deer. It is also illegal to use a drone and infrared cameras to locate the dead animal. Try to understand the logic in that. A local company was recently arrested for using a drone to locate a customers dead deer. Our senseless deep state at work. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like Tracy Lawrence, in “Paint Me a Birmingham” when he sang “Can you paint me back into her heart again…” Notice this is a scale drawing. Only so much of her tires were exposed. Hence they appear to be half moons, the rest was hiding in mud Also shown in red, is the path we took during my last birthday celebration! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add a 360 roof turret, a couple torpedo heaters, and cover it with a tank camo net. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,123 #312 Posted August 14 (edited) That would be a big net! Additionally, I do believe we will employ Colleen during late doe, once the winter beats up the field a bit. We’ll make sure to park her in a place we can have easy access and a good view of the field! Edited August 14 by Pullstart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
