Spying on big bucks - benefits of Drones?
Cal Sportsman ^ | 8/3/2016 | A Comstock

Drones have caused quite a stir in the hunting world with how they are used. Drones can be a great tool for deer hunting. Watch this video to see some awesome drone footage spying on bucks.

While drones can be a very useful scouting tool in the summer to simply scout properties, they are starting to be outlawed by many states to be used during hunting season.

Drones can cause problems with ethics if used incorrectly or illegally. If a drone is used in the wrong way, they can be a non ethical tool. When used the right way, you can capture some great footage with them though. Have a look at this video captured by drones.

And here I thought that drones might be a good way to track the Clintoon Crime Fam Foundations...

“Spying”? Looked more like herding...

Now just mount a rifle on the drone and you’re really talking. Game can’t smell a drone coming!

Who is dictating these ethics, and from where do they get them?

I get my ethics from the Word of God. I’ll check to see what the bible says about the ethics of using drones to hunt game.

If you hunt the same day. 100% unethical, like almost everything else that comes out of Cal Sportsman.

The Bible is rather silent on game law.

Exactly!

However, I’m not talking about law. I’m talking about ethics. Lately, the two have little in common.

Drones won’t be able to find Bigfoot.
Them Boogers have ESP about being watched.

Using a drone to locate game and then actually HUNTING it (as opposed to waiting in a tree stand for it to wander past) would seem ethical to me. It’s certainly harder and requires more skills.
