The reason I was asking is that watching it on youtube is different than being there in person and watching how it goes down……Its pretty eye opening to see…..You say they wont be banned but several states are already banning them……

"The IDNR states that using any drone (including thermal imaging) to hunt, scout, locate, or track wildlife—including recovering wounded or dead deer—violates the Illinois Wildlife Code (520 ILCS 5/2.33)"

I don’t know if you listened to the first video but like Don said…..”I didn’t even realize all the ways they could be abused until my listeners started filling me in on it”……They’re a poachers dream tool just like he said…..We’re literally at a point now where folks like him are having to protect their property with drone detectors……Everyone’s lease is now at the mercy of the guy who wants to fly it and see what you got to see if he wants to outbid you on the price…..Don was really throwing shade at everyone’s favorite urban big buck killers there at the end…..We're in a whole new era of deer hunting now
