Yeah, because we all know shots never go south and tracking is always easy…Or, better yet, learn to shoot better. Don't shoot an animal unless you have a good shot. And I agree with Pokes.....learn to track.
To keep track of any employees who try to escape?That drone he’s using is about 15k. So the average flat brimmer’s probably not packing it in to the “backcountry “ for hunting.
We were looking at these the other day in the office seeing if it could be a job expense
Exactly.To keep track of any employees who try to escape?
The technology will get better, the distances they fly will get longer, the time they can stay out will increase. Not all terrain in the mountains is as remote as other areas, the Idaho Panhandle is much different than the Wasatch Range in Utah.Exactly.
My buddy was actually really looking into these. Guess the guy that’s started this is actually looking to franchise it. You buy a 15k search and rescue drone and he does whatever to start you off. The whole thing I think is silly as by the time you call a guy like this your deers already spoiled and I’m sure this concept only really works in the mid west. Good luck getting someone out in the middle of no where for you with their drone.
Camera in these is pretty amazing though. Be fun to shed hunt with it
I would agree normally, but in the video they mention wounding multiple animals over the last few years... thats not 'going south' in my book.Yeah, because we all know shots never go south and tracking is always easy…
I also think we owe a wounded animal the chance to get away and heal in the spirit of fair chase. Just because someone makes a piss-poor shot, we shouldn't subject animals to being unfairly pursued using advanced technology that removes any ability for them to hide or get away. In watching more videos of this service, I saw that they conveniently "notice" other nice bucks as well while they are searching. ------SSI think we owe a wounded animal the courtesy of an extensive search. I have no issue with this method as long as the follow up shots can be done legally.
I agree. If they are not fatally wounded, then they will likely be able enough to escape the average hunter assuming they have some cover to hide in. As always, things are different in the whitetail woods of the midwest and east. You western guys have gigantic swaths of public lands to roam. Whitetail properties are generally smaller with heavy cover somewhere that protects them from human approach more so than sage brush in hilly country. Wounded deer often cross property lines if pursued hard enough. That is a dead end in most cases, drone or not.I also think we owe a wounded animal the chance to get away and heal in the spirit of fair chase.
