Cellular trail cam

[amboy49]

I am reasonably certain that drones are not legal for deer hunting. However, I've been having a great time with my cellular capable trail cam. It transmits the pics to my iPhone and iPad in real time. They tell me when the deer are present. Wondering if the use of these are legal during deer season ?

Why not? As long as your camera isn't looking at something considered bait?

You can use a drone up to 2 weeks prior deer season. Game cameras are legal all through deer season with no restrictions. Hunting over bait is illegal but watching deer over bait is not.

No, you can’t get caught flying your drone with the suspicion of deer hunting.

There’s a lot of “ifs” in there.

So, as long as your drone is not armed, you are not deer hunting with it, right? They are great to use for searching for trespassers.

I would think a drone with infrared or whatever shows blood, would be a great/efficient way to track a deer. Of course, like all things it would soon be used for wrong.

There is a guy that has a you tube channel from I think Ohio that uses a drone with a thermal camera to recover shot deer. I have seen a couple of these videos and he usually will find the dead or wounded deer within a few minutes. Its a slick operation but it looks to be a very expensive piece of equipment

Somebody in here is trying to develop a drone business…name escapes me atm, but maybe they could chime in on those possibilities.

I've flown my drone many a time during deer season but keep it away from the woods and the prairie grass. I use it for checking the driveway down by a bridge for fresh truck tracks and I watch my nephew and his family sometimes when they are out playing on the quads.
