Thermal Drones Will Ruin Deer Hunting!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

The only issue I could see with it, people “recovering” deer but using it to locate deer at night to hunt the following morning. So if you are supposedly giving the wounded deer time to expire, go out at 2-3 AM and use it to gauge deer in the area. Arkansas is currently adjusting laws and determining regulations for using them. As of now, every recovery team, dog or drone are required to contact the local warden before going

I think a lot of states are trying to figure this out. I just read yesterday that Ohio Division of Wildlife updated their policy on it. No real change, but they added language to clarify drone use.

Thanks Steve! Appreciate it! 👍

Good morning Kyle, I figured I'd give my two cents after thinking a bit after watching your video. First off, if you're on the opposite side of law makers, you're probably thinking right. Secondly we're talking deer recovery, not deer hunting. You're not doing anything that's a disadvantage, you're helping recovery a deer that's wounded or dead hidden as you said. I do believe that if you're going to pay large amounts to find the deer you shot, it's truly something you're not able to find yourself. I'm perfectly ok with this being used in deer recovery, deer management, in fact I think instead of lawmakers always on the wrong side of technology, they would benefit from the use of thermal drones to get a more accurate deer herd number every year. Everyone is looking for an advantage with hunting and I'm not saying it can't be abused, but with cellular trail cameras, spotlighting, bad people are going to do what they're going to do. But it's not good to vilify people who do the right thing with the drones as you point out. As far as the drones you displayed, the autel came with 2 batteries, and the DJI Enterprise came with 3, both can withstand winds up to 30-40 MPH, but it won't do well in rain. The matrice however I'm willing to take as a gift from my in depth analysis Sir 😂. That drone is top of the line and I do believe it comes with 2 batteries because it takes 2 to fly it. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it does. But that's my dream drone. If you ever have any drone questions don't hesitate to reach out!

[@Dark30Outdoors]

Thanks Jason! I agree with all the points you made. Unfortunately, I am not able to hook you up with a Matrice! Maybe someday when I am a big time KZbinr! LOL

What's up bud deer recovery sure but I see it being a problem with poaching😢

[@Dark30Outdoors]

It could be, but poachers would do it anyway.

[@MultiHunter247]

Cool Video Kyle, I see nothing wrong with it as long as it’s for recovery only.

[@Dark30Outdoors]

Right on! I totally agree! 👍

[@RV_Chef_Life]

Technology is taking the skill out of everything. A drone to hunting would be the equivalent of Live scope to fishing inmo. Not a fan of either.

Good morning Kyle!

Good morning Tina!!

[@judithdandavis2206]

i see nothing wrong with using all means of technology for game recovery . it is just another tool that should be allowed .

[@Dark30Outdoors]

I agree 💯!

[@OfftheHookOutdoors99]

Check out my video with Mike from Drone Deer Recovery. I think it’s a great thing to use to recover your deer. I believe it’s a good tool and really if you use a game cam or cell came that’s actually helping you during your hunt. This is after you shoot the deer so I think it’s more unlawful to use cameras during your hunt than a drone to find a deer after your hunt.

[@Dark30Outdoors]

I agree 100%

So you deleted my comment 😂 dont want to offend the walmart hunters

I did not delete anything. This is the only comment that I’ve seen on this video from you.

​​​@@Dark30Outdoors Someone just deleted my other comment off this page. Thank Google/KZbin.

@@16-BITFPV I have never deleted a comment. Also, when I see something like this, there is a section for "held for review" but there is never anything in there. I do think YT sometimes just wipes out a comment. I've seen a notification on my phone for a new comment and when I clicked on it nothing happened and then eventually that notification is gone.

Hi Kyle, thanks for starting the discussion. I personally believe drones should only be used by biologists for the purpose of counting game animals for aerial surveys. I don't think regular people should be able to use these for any form of recovery or hunting. It's too gray of an area. I believe there's too much of a temptation for "recovery " of an animal that would have otherwise survived. Hunters should focus more on good shooting and recovery tactics and less on technology. My unsolicited two cents.

[@Dark30Outdoors]

You make some very good points. I can see both sides of it really.
