Few deer I saw did not seem to care at all about the drone. Neither have raccoons, beavers, squirrels, chipmunks and birds.

Are you in a relatively urban area? In my experience, a wild deer can hear a photography quadcopter from ~200' away. They "spook" if I approach closer than ~150'.

  There is a farm I regularly pass on my bicycle and closer to the end of the summer they have boatload of deer coming in an wandering on the field. I have zero clue what they do on that field. Anyways those pay zero attention to my drone and go about their business whatever that is.

Cool, yeah, just fly your drone next to wildlife and claim they don't mind.

  Living in a rural area with a lot of deer and other nature, they are one consideration.

Save the drama, they literally hang out in my backyard (well except beavers) but add foxes and rabbits

This strikes me as a rather callous lack of empathy. Personally, I find the mosquito whine of drones to be really annoying - especially when I am trying to enjoy the peace and serenity of a natural environment. There is nothing more obnoxious than going surfing only to have some creep buzz you with a drone. It's really intrusive and the sound is plain just obnoxious. I'm trying to enjoy the ocean like people have done for eons and someone else can't seem to enjoy it without flying a high pitched squealing camera over my head? It's a shame too because as a camera enthusiast I would love to be able to take shots like the ones DJI features on its website. They are spectacular views. But the obtrusive rudeness of the technology is the one thing holding me back.

  I hear ya, but to your point about “some creep buzzing you,” at least you’re aware of it for now. A silent drone could be much creepier...

If i'm in nature and i hear a drone, its annoying AF, and it just makes me want to throw rocks at it.

  I hear loud music from drunk campers on the lakes way more often than I hear drones.

Geese definitely do not like drones.
