Keep drones out of Kansas… 🤷🏼♂️
Hunters Busted using Drone to hunt trophy Buck!
The Indiana DNR investigated and charged several hunters who were using a drone to repeatedly locate and pattern a specific trophy whitetail buck. The drone was flown regularly in the days leading up to the hunt, including the day the deer was killed.
Officers also found that the group had illegally hunted the deer over bait and trespassed to retrieve the deer.
In Indiana drones cannot be used to search for or scout deer during the season or for 14 days before it, though they can be used to recover a deer that were legally harvested.
