I agree about proving motive……..That was the same thing Don was saying about why the potential is so high for abuse…..How are you gonna prove it in most cases??.....
I think you’re focused on the wrong thing though if all you’re looking at is simply a “herd wide impact”……We’re talking about targeted use of them on high end properties……There’s no hiding anymore no matter what you do or don’t post on social media…..Its why Don is having to protect his property with a drone detector……I watched a podcast from Ohio where two guys were using them to locate and poach deer in a city park in Columbus…..You’re not gonna have anything to worry about if all you hunt is the chitty land and you don’t have any good deer on your place……..I guess we’re just gonna have to let it play out before folks with see the full scope of the impact when every Tom, Dick, and Harry has one…..We’re not far from it…..Maybe one or two more seasons…..
Reckon how many of these really good public land bucks we’re seeing killed now were located with a drone that got launched from a backyard in the middle of the night??.....Is the state gonna protect all of the management areas in the future with drone detectors to prevent it from happening??
