When we say does and yearlings, we mean does and fawns. Not correct, but that’s how it is.
A 1.5 year old doe is just a doe, not a yearling.

“ I don’t care how others enjoy themselves as long as they are buying licenses and paying fees. I want more participation, not less.”

So you good with your neighbors flying drones over your place, then baiting the property line to try to pull that buck to them?

“ So you can waste hours and days scouting for nothing or pull a drone out to tell you in a few minutes. To each their own.”

The wasting hours and days is what they call hunting.

A problem with drone scouting would be flying the drone midday and using that intel to set up your deer standers for the afternoon hunt.

It wouldn’t surprise me if armed drones were used for depredation tags in the future.

I’ve heard rumors that tv hunters have drone operators sell them their drone scouting info. They’ll find a huge buck, then the celebrity offers the landowner a large sum to lease the farm.
Also hearing rumors of archery elk hunters finding bugling bulls at night to aid in pursuing them the next morning.
I shot a buck in Kansas the other afternoon. It was a bad shot , but he was bleeding heavily and I knew it was lethal. Likely even lethal before dark. I backed out and found him 100 yards away the next day. A drone would’ve made my night much more restful and I could’ve recovered after a few hours.
I think the drone could be great in keeping human scent out of deer sanctuary areas. I also think that drones will be used, regardless of the law. They’ll get smaller, cheaper, and have longer range.

I found them. And without blood to follow.

Congrats

“have a deer I’ve been feeding and getting pictures of since July.”

I love running cameras, but the thought that since you got a picture you have ownership of a wild animal is ridiculous. There’s a fair chance that all of your feeding and camera checking is what ran him off.
