The Truth About Drone Deer Recovery - How Well it ACTUALLY Works & Should Hunters Embrace It? w/Mike Yoder | Series: High-Tech Hunting; IQ-5
Q: When would you recommend using a dog vs. a drone?
In early season with thick cover, a dog is often more effective at locating the carcass, but drones are used first to locate the body or to determine if the deer is alive, and can guide the dog's search.
The Truth About Drone Deer Recovery - How Well it ACTUALLY Works & Should Hunters Embrace It? w/Mike Yoder | Series: High-Tech Hunting; IQ-5
Q: How high are you typically flying, and how large an area do you search?
Typically between 300 and 400 feet above ground to maximize coverage and minimize disturbance, followed by grid searching the area and expanding the search if needed.
The Truth About Drone Deer Recovery - How Well it ACTUALLY Works & Should Hunters Embrace It? w/Mike Yoder | Series: High-Tech Hunting; IQ-5
Q: How does drone recovery start when someone calls you?
We gather basic data from the hunter (shoot location, time since shot, blood evidence, arrows if applicable) and drop a pin to map the likely search area, then deploy the drone to search the first area and adjust the plan based on what we see.
Drones and Deer Hunting - Are Legal Changes Coming SOON to Your State? w/Mike Yoder | Series: High-Tech Hunting; IQ-5
Q: When is drone use considered hunting versus recovery, according to the guest?
The line is blurred and depends on local definitions; if the deer is dead or if you are actively pursuing (or assisting in pursuing) a deer, it becomes a legal gray area that many states interpret differently.
