Broke a guys heart permission to track denied

Most of these laws have a sexual component and don't mention deer

So when I lay in my field with peanut butter on my junk I’m good?? 🤣😂
 
i understand the sentiment, but let's say your justified in principle, but wrong by the law, is it worth the financial/legal ramifications if you get in trouble shooting something down or have to retain an attorney? Even if you're right and get away with it, the pissed off neighbors looking to stick it to you forever and the hassle isn't worth a drone fly over.

But that's just me. Maybe you win in court, but you've got a target on you now and i'd rather not be the neighborhood A-hole because some day I'm sure I'll need a favor too.
How about drone against drone combat? One drone fighting off the other to protect itself. You could even form a club to practice maneuvers and stuff and figure out ways to neutralize the other drone.
 
I have a friend in Minnesota, that’s one of the best habitat guys I know. He had created a very nice bedding sanctuary, and They do not access it . It’s full of deer.


What does the sanctuary look like??
 
If a neighbor was flying a drone over my place to look for a wounded deer without asking, I’d want to let him on less.
 
The drone laws need to catch up soon so that they protect land owners rights better.
Around here there are plenty of guys with thermal that scout everything but also help in recovering deer, there are also guys that use them to push deer and run them out of standing corn into properties they can hunt.
Land owners need airspace/tespassing to be protected better.

My governor has a big spread not far from my house. And he’s a hunter…wonder if it would get his attention to start buzzing the tower while they were hunting every weekend. According to swats interpretation I would be doing nothing wrong

Harassing wildlife is already illegal, but I'll be darned if I know a goood way to enforce that law against a drone pilot pushing deer out of a large field.
 
Hard to enforce but I’d be on board with saying any acre you have seen drone footage of during open hunting season can not be hunted by you until the following hunting year.

Cell cams are bad enough, drones are absurd.

Tough to go through 7 pages here... did he ask for recovery permissions ahead of hunting 5 acres? If yes and was denied, I agree with your choice. If no and was denied, I agree with your choice. If yes and you told him "it depends" I think I'm not as much on your side. A wasted life sucks, and I assume there's a chance something could die on that 5. Understanding he doesn't own it and maybe can't deny recovery, but I feel like karma might somehow someway get you here.
 
My understanding is that In Iowa, if a wounded deer comes on your property, legally, the hunter can go on to the property without permission and without any weapon. Also, using drones for recovery is illegal.

Our CO told me that if you find a person on your property and that they claim to have lost game, you can ask for their ID and for them to show you the blood trail onto your land.

I one saw people on our property supposedly searching. When I got to them ( had to leave my stand and drive around the section). they were already on the gravel road leaving. It was a group/party hunt. The first guy denied it. Then the other said they could recover animal legally. I said yes, but the neighborly thing is to notify the land owner.

We have had other neighbors call, and if I’m able, I will assist in the recovery. Twice I found the deadhead several months later and I gave them to the neighbor, as it was their high school son who shot the deer.

20 years ago, you needed to own no land to hunt, landowners readily gave permission. Currently you its very hard to get permission and people feel they have to the right to tell others they can't hunt on their own f'in land because they don't own enough.
20 years ago was 2005, I know that's sad to hear but I think what you're referring to was more like 40 years ago. At least in the NE.
 
In Kansas depending if posted right they have to ask permission to track,if not posted right they can track until told to leave.If they don't leave they are trespassing.All my neighbors are the ones hunting their land so we track on each others but do so as to reduce damage.

I think that is pretty much how Minnesota is as well.

Sorry missed this …
He planted a lot of pine, spruce, and cedar . He has a 20 acre gnarly patch of willow and dogwood, cane grass. Never goes in there .

Food plots close to the main cover, tall switchgrass. It’s perfect, but unfortunately it’s Minnesota and he still loses bucks to the neighbors !
