Something that I believe is overlooked... mortally wounded bucks that are not recovered, result in the hunter continuing to hunt, and maybe harvesting or wounding an additional deer. Sometimes hunters make "bad" shots. No ethical hunter wants to, but unfortunately it happens. Putting forth the effort and successfully recovering the animal will eliminate additional mortality, and the result is a bigger, more mature herd. Hats off to this service and others like it!
I realize that these things happen. But you can also lessen the chances by being more selective with your shot and not shooting through small holes with limbs at bad angles. Angles are everything in archery.
Ky. Department of Fish and Wildlife has discussed drone use in a couple of meetings so far. I would expect it to also be on their next quarterly meeting agenda. So far from what I've seen they are proposing there will be an exemption that allows drone use for recovery on private lands but, will be illegal to use them on any WMAs or department managed lands. They are also discussing making cell trail cams illegal on WMAs. Last time I messaged the department directly and asked about any drone regulations they responded back there were none at that time but it was subject to change in the future. If anyone in Ky. wants to make sure it is a viable option to use to recover game make sure you contact your commissioner before the next meeting and let them know you support the use of drones. They also did mention in the last meeting something about your video showing you transporting the deer with the ag drone.
Man I really should get into this business Plus im not too far from you guys right across the border in PA near yougstown. I love this technology and have been looking more and more into it just trying to get the wife on board to purchase the drone. Who knows maybe next year Ill join you guys in being a pilot plus I already have some YT experience so it would be nice to start a different channel.
We’re licensed in Texas to do aerial wildlife management for exotics and predators. We still are not allowed to track game…we can’t even take pictures of them. As hunters we are expected to exhaust any means possible to recover a resource, why are we excluding drones from our toolset? We work a lot with dog trackers who often call on us to help when their dogs can’t get on a trail and we have to turn them away, it’s ridiculous.
I remember him doing a video that showed the thermals lasting 39 hours, post mortem. I'm sure that is dependent on the ambient temperature of the area. The warmer it is, the quicker the heat signature will dissolve
It doesn't matter the bad that will be done because if anyone wants to do bad nothing can stop that. But for those that will use this technology the right and ethical way it should be legal too...
That’s sad to see that buck suffering with an arrow in it’s guts like that. I know it happens. But damn. Shitty deal. The drone was definitely invaluable in recovering that deer.

Why do you think that? The couple of instances I had made a less than perfect shot, I wasn't able to sleep, concerned the deer would suffer and go to waste. The hunters I know are very respectful, and thankful for the opportunity God has provided them to appreciate such a magnificent animal, while providing food for their family. I could just as easily make the assumption that you are one of those miserable vegan people, or maybe you're a "Gomer" who is only concerned about the satisfaction you get by calling someone names when you disagree with their lifestyle.
As soon as one politician wants some votes, they will make it legal. Never thought I would see cross bows. Now hunting season lasts forever. And we can now hunt a half hour into the dark.
I understand you want this to be big but first this is not proprietary there is nothing stopping someone from just buying this same drone and they are already starting to ban cell cameras so I can figure drones will be next see they are using cell cameras to locate big bucks now they will use drones to find big bucks faster so it’s great if used correctly and it has to be tightly managed period or it’s will be out control
Agreed but what are you going to do, stop selling drones, that won't happen, people will either do right or do wrong. Laws don't stop illegal activity when you're a criminal. Drones have there place and this is a great example of good drone use. There are people who still shine deer at night with spot light and shoot.
@@ryanfarmer5155 Your right there. I don't think it's terrible if recovering DEAD deer. I wouldn't pay 500 for it but alot of these deer aren't mortally wounded and would survive most likely. I have seen deer with multiple broadheads in them.
Yeah I completely agree, if you were using a drone to hunt it would literally be fish in a barrel. You can’t call yourself a hunter if you do that and idk how that would be fun to someone. I don’t think these guys ever have bad intentions, I think this company is in the best interest of the hunting community.
Yeah, not finding a deer you hit is a much better outcome. NOT. OMG what’s next? Using dogs to track!!! Oh wait. . .Tell you what, hunt like I do, with just a club, like a real man.
@Random_Quads of course, dogs and drones are different silly. . . Dogs can't fly, at least for long. No corn, I just hunt 'em down and BAM! My cousin says I am using technology to cheat. He uses rocks.
How many paid lost deer recovery calls did you go out on or respond to personally last season and then this season ? And what was your success rate finding the deer that were shot ? Important info for those thinking about doing this .
You should have a flat rate charge, however many dollars just for you to come out and then it should go up from there depending on time or really however you want to price it. Good work isn’t cheap and cheap work isn’t good. We’ve all heard it so don’t be afraid to price a little high, I normally don’t question the higher price because they always seem to be more professional, on time, etc.
they do have a flat rate $450.00 each call out and a additional $100.00 successful recovery rate additional charge as well on their web site .I was asking what his personal number of calls were because a $14,000 investment needs a specific number of calls to pay for the business on a operator level . So by their site prices it takes 31 calls and payment to just pay for the drone package they offer that is not covering the hundreds of dollars in fuel or gasoline the generator to charge batteries on the go or paying yourself any sort of wages . So it could take 50 to 70- calls depending on distance driven to even start to pay the operators .That's why the number of calls is important and Why I asked .
You must be the best hunter ever! Never made a bad shot! Nah, I'd guess you're just a sad person who has to make negative comments about others misfortune to feel better about your own miserable life.
All states should allow the use of thermal drones to recover deer so long as the hunter signs an affidavit that he shot a deer and believes the shot to be lethal. If the lies on the form the pilot should not have any liability.
Infomercial Mike back with more videos, begging you to buy a drone and subscribe to his channel where he worships himself in every video lol pathetic staged videos. Before info infomercial Mike yoder had a clue what it was.😂
You literally have your channel handle named for trolling Mike. Looks like jealousy to me. You're probably not competent enough to put together a successful business model like Mike has done. Feeble mindedness is not a virtue
@@ScottWConvid19 Yep just changed the name today.. ,but I can see you been drinking the kool-Aid. You change his underwear for him too? Some Mike infractions that put Hunters and Legit Drone users in Jeopardy 1. Infomercial Mike flies above the 400' limit. When called on it he gave some lame excuse that he has to fly in hills and that the general public just doesn't understand. Then why did he start cropping/blurring the altitude info out of his videos? The proof is in the pudding and the controllers SD card. Most of the Kool-aid drinkers on here don't know enough about drones to pick up on things. Watch the last clickbait video and you will see the info blurred out on the drone controller that Infomercial Mike ahas in his hands. Case closed. 2. Infomercial Mike has a video on his RUclips Channel that displays a hunter walking around the woods with a crossbow well beyond legal shooting hours. One of Mike's Toadies explained that this was okay, because there was not a "bolt" in the crossbow. Pure Genius. 3. Infomercial Mike constantly drives around Amish Country Ohio looking at the camera and taking his hands off the wheel. This is reckless driving. Lots of buggies and bicycles on those roads. Video proof in a lot of videos. Easy to write a citation and enough evidence for his liability insurance underwriters to raise his rates or drop him. 4. Infomercial Mike gave himself the super important job of "Certifying" Drone Pilots. It's right there on his find a pilot map. DDR Certified Drone Pilot. Quite hilarious. Those yahoos over at Infomercial Mike's Spinoff (Drone Pet Recovery) have Infomercial Mike purchased drones falling out of the sky a lot. More video evidence for the underwriters.
You should not be allowed to hunt with shot placement that bad….thats just suffering for the animal pulling some b.s. like that. If you can’t see exactly where you are shooting don’t make the shot and take your ass back to the targets

I sure do agree Marcus
Bingo
A bit far back, you say? A bit far back is a liver shot. An almost sphincter shot like this is WAY far back! 😅
I realize that these things happen. But you can also lessen the chances by being more selective with your shot and not shooting through small holes with limbs at bad angles. Angles are everything in archery.
How much do you charge, I know every situation is probably different, but a ballpark figure? Thanks Dan

This is what being a shitty shot looks like. This right here is cruel
Such a shame for a nice buck like this to have to suffer so long.
Overnight ? happens all the time

Marathon off 77 just south of canton on the right hand side ? Anyways congrats on the recovery
Thanks for advocating! Legalize this in Illinois! #ILDNR

Unfortunately because 2 out of 1000 people might cheat the system.
Nice job!
Any new news on the guy that had his drone taken by the Pennsylvania game warden?
Yea. They apprehended him in a heated elevated blind watching a pile of corn armed with a crossbow.
You're new to dealing with Game Commissions.
If the deer is dead does it still show up and if so for how long? Once it is cold thermal wont be any good would it?
I remember him doing a video that showed the thermals lasting 39 hours, post mortem. I'm sure that is dependent on the ambient temperature of the area. The warmer it is, the quicker the heat signature will dissolve
@@myotheraccount5947 pretty cool, thanks for the info.👍🏻😏
Drone recovery takes the only secret survival of the whitetail away.
why are the trees showing heat?
They're high enough in the canopy to receive sunlight
I know you want to make a million and you probably deserve it.the problem is this will be used for evil instead of good 90% of the time..
Boy you better knotsay that over they want believe you or care
Yeah it needs to be outlawed before it’s too late. The whole drone thing will tarnish hunting forever
It doesn't matter the bad that will be done because if anyone wants to do bad nothing can stop that. But for those that will use this technology the right and ethical way it should be legal too...
Sportsman will continue to be sportsman. People said the same thing when crossbows came out.
@@regtrayah957 this is nothing like crossbows lol, what is it about crossbows that make them some effortless big buck killing machines?? 🤦♂️
This guy and channel is half bad reality show and half infomercial
That’s sad to see that buck suffering with an arrow in it’s guts like that. I know it happens. But damn. Shitty deal. The drone was definitely invaluable in recovering that deer.
They found that deer karen

Great job ! Thanks for the pizza ! Nice buck!
whats the average cost to have this done?
I think Mike is $450 to search $550 if found
This Gomer has no remorse at all at wounding that Buck,,,,,he is Happy with the Horn's,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

It only takes one idiot to mess things up for the drone guys that use them for good I think that's why there not legal in every state
As soon as one politician wants some votes, they will make it legal. Never thought I would see cross bows. Now hunting season lasts forever. And we can now hunt a half hour into the dark.
9 out of 10 hunters with drones are already using them to kill deer / elk and that’s a fact.
Crossbows are trash

@@Random_Quads they are already doing it, however, anyone can order a drone and do this was my point, you can never stop that. Legal or illegal

NEEDS TO BE LEGAL IN MINNESOTA!!!!
100% against the use of drones it's all about money and antlers nothing about being a better hunter

There is a big difference between dogs and a drone. Are you serious? Do you hunt over corn?

The good will do the good the bad will do the bad. Just make sure you know which side you are on.
Just don't allow it. Are you joking.? If you can't find the deer o well. That's o well that's called hunting .
Why do you assume we know this guy, Clint? Is he famous? If so for what?
