A friend just sent me this video.
While the grittty toughness of the buck is to be admired, I do not know what to think about drone thermal tracking. I know what I think about drones for spotting and scouting deer, adamantly opposed. As far as drone tracking I think it crosses my personal fair chase ethos, but it seems to be picking up steam as a thing to do if you wound a deer. I can see the benefits, obviously recovering a wounded deer, but I can see the negatives and they outweigh the positives I believe. Over the weekend I taught a hunters safety course and we spent a significant amount of time on fair chase. Kids, the next generation of hunters, are at a tipping point of fair chase hunting. 10 years from now what will be considered fair chase that is not today? What will the new technology be that is making sportsmen and women ponder ethical fair chase?
