I agree with that but if you're a game warden in the field, how do you distinguish between a guy using a drone to recover a possibly wounded animal, and a guy just looking for deer to kill?

Guaranteed, if it's legal to use for wounded deer some will stretch it and use it to find deer.

This can easily lead to someone being arrested or fined because they might commit a crime or had the ability to commit a crime. A slippery slope but in my experience, one law enforcement would like to pursue. In a lot of minor incidences law enforcement over-exerts their authority.
