Outdoorsman Drone Recovery LLC VETERAN OWNED AND OPERATED!! Licensed Drone Pilot!! With technology advancing, laws are changing! Veteran Owned and Operated with a Part 107 Drone License!

With the constant changes in technology comes constant changes in the Law. With confirmation from several State Officials and the DNR, it is now considered LEGAL to locate a DEAD deer with a drone in Indiana (including thermal)! 2023 will bring new successful ways of locating downed deer! Sometimes, bad shots happen. Let me help you find your deer! I understand that many will love this Law and many will hate it. Some will deny that it is legal period! I'll do my best to explain how the Law works according to the DNR:

(IC 35-31.5-2-342.3 states that a drone may not be used to aid a hunter in the "TAKING" of a wild animal. The definition of "TAKING" is described in this Law as "KILLING". Since the "TAKING/KILLING" of the wild animal has already been completed (or to the best of the hunters knowledge), the drone is therefore only allowed to be used to find a DEAD deer. This is the part that can get CONFUSING......If the drone pilot locates a wild animal (deer) that is NOT dead, the pilot must stop the search and may not inform the hunter of the wounded animals immediate location. If the hunter knows the immediate location of the wounded deer, the drone pilot would then be considered aiding in the location of the deer for the hunter to "TAKE/KILL". CONFUSED YET????!! With any law that changes, it will take a few years to get used to, but I believe being able to recover your dead deer will be GREAT for the sport and for the respect for the animal itself. The best advice is to hire a licensed pilot who knows the exact Law in what State they are flying in. They all vary. Paying an unlicensed pilot may also get you a HEFTY fine from the FAA!!

Going into our 4th year! At this point in the season we’ve received more calls than any other season. Most of this is due to the cold fronts we’ve had early on already. One thing that’s pretty cool is I’ve been a deer hunter my whole life but I’ve learned more in the last 4 seasons tracking deer than I’ve learned in a lifetime of huntin. Not just where wounded deer go, but also predicting the “busy” track days based on weather.

From past seasons looking at call volume compared to weather, it’s been pretty consistent. Cold front + high pressure = DEER! Moon phases have been pretty inconsistent but I still think it all contributes to deer activity. Any time the barometric pressure is 30.30 or higher has been the most busy!

Basically what I’m getting at is if you hunt, you should hunt this weekend. Cold front and sky high pressure (30.50+……which doesn’t happen often) Good luck! Shoot straight. But if you don’t, remember who told you to hunt this weekend! 😁 (preferably Saturday morning/evening)

Goodluck tomorrow youth hunters!!
