At this risk of crossing the fine line between sporting and cheating... Has anyone tried using a Drone with a thermal camera to locate where deer are bedding down overnight? I've seen a couple of live demos of drones with thermal cameras flying over fields/woods after dark and it definitely picks up any warm body. I'm sure with a bit of training you could tell a deer from a hog or cow.

Drone offenses have a really pesky way of becoming federal offenses.

But even then looks like it's still illegal without the proper permits
"A person (which includes a pilot, applicant, gunner, observer, or Subagent) commits an offense if:..the person counts, photographs, relocates, captures, hunts, or takes or attempts to count, photograph, relocate, capture, hunt, or take from an aircraft any wildlife or exotic animals other than wildlife or exotic animals authorized by the AMP and LOA "Last edited by Jspradley; 10-10-2019, 01:30 PM.
