Seems like a sensible way to recover injured deer. They can run a long way with a .30 hole in the lungs. If a guy is only putting a .30 caliber hole through the lungs he may want to start using different bullets. No wonder they're running a long way.

Claim under law is one cannot use drones to hunt or track deer. This sounded like a recovery effort. I would fight this one. Moreover, it stated in the article wardens are interpreting law which is not their job. Very ironic that drones can't be used in regard to game but there's nothing wrong with someone hovering one over your wife when she's in the garden.

Keep drones out of all hunting Sure. Let critters escape to die and not be recovered.

I don't see any ethical issue with using drones to recover a dead animal. It must be legal here as I read about thermal drones being used in recovery. Sometimes they don't bleed enough to track effectively.

Drones have no place in hunting unless to cull or control predators. And they have been losing a lot of game as well. Why not try to increase recovery rates? Anyone who says they've never had a very difficult time recovering and animal at some point hasn't hunted much. Why wait til morning or daylight to recover a deer that's hard to track because it left minimal or no blood when a drone can help find it in just a short matter of time?? There are some areas in this nation that if an animal isn't recovered in an hour or 2 it's going to be spoiled if you have to wait until the next day.

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. You are correct sir. You get the drone flying, scouting for deer to shoot and when the warden accosts you, just say you are looking for the deer that 'ol James wounded yesterday. The no-drone law is a good law.

Because it’s opening a can of worms you don’t want opened. Enforcement would be a nightmare. Thankfully AK banned drones from hunting.

I was using a 30-06 with Remington 180 gr. ammo. .30 entrance wound, .50 on the exit. 110 yard run guaranteed. Pretty good blood trail, however. I was shooting 12 whitetail a year so I got good at blood trailing.

I can see well before/after legal shooting light if sitting at a fields edge.

The .50 round ball from my T/C Hawken killed 'em better than that damn Remington ammo in the Mauser.

Drones have no place in hunting unless to cull or control predators. I agree with this. If finding, shooting, and recovering game (i.e. hunting) is so hard for you that you need a remote controlled machine to do it, then keep your lazyazz on the couch. JMHO

The .58 Minie ball from the Civil War Zouave was real good also.

Moreover, it stated in the article wardens are interpreting law which is not their job. Exactly. Should be very easy to fight in court. They can not interpret the law, anyway they see fit. Sounds like a bunch of fu cking democrat rat bastids, if that is the case..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

God forbid some hunter does something ethical in an effort to not waste game....
And they wonder why there are poachers. ^^^^^^^^^^^ To me it’s negligent to not do everything to recover a deer. Caveat yes there is a risk of abuse but I don’t think restricting law abiding citizens because of what some MIGHT do is a valid argument.Would you say that's like restricting everyone's guns because of what a few misfits MIGHT do? It's what liberals do. Yes, but we should not give in to those mother fu ckers. Which it sounds like you are doing right now. I thought Idaho was better than that?

Not everywhere in this nation offers the ability to leave game overnight or is conducive to easy tracking even when it should be easy.
Leave one overnight in the south and he will be spoiled by the next morning, no need to even go look for it at that point.
Be handy to have a drone on a bad shot deer to see if it's still alive before you bump it and it heads to the next county to never be recovered.
Some of you all haven't been out in the world much.
Legal or not if I had the option to use one to recover an animal I would be using it. Don't care who knows or who likes it or not.
