Drones finding dead game

According to bowhunting.com, If you’re a tech savvy deer hunter, you’ve likely taken notice of the rise in deer recovery options with the use of a drone. It was just a few years ago that it seemed like everybody knew somebody buying a bloodhound for tracking and recovering deer after the shot. However, that fad was short lived. Now everybody wants a drone! 

Yes, the use of drones for recovering deer takes technology for the deer hunter to a whole new level – literally. And like all things new in the way of technological advances, the use of drones has come with its fair share of controversy. 

Are they legal, and are they ethical? These are the two biggest questions surrounding the use of drones. So lets dig in and take a closer look at the ethics of drones in hunting. 

Deer recovery is where the drone is quickly becoming a viable tool for hunters after the shot. Hunters are learning that a drone is superior in speed when it comes to the time it takes to cover ground in search of your deer. The drone also allows you to search an entire farm without ever putting boots on the ground. The result is minimal human pressure and scent on your hunting property. 

It truly is the most efficient way to recover your deer after the shot. What once took hours to search by foot, can now be done in minutes with the use of a drone.
