  > the law forcing unethical behavior by limiting honest efforts to find the animal Fair enough. On one hand, you have the harm caused by animals I found. On the other hand, you have the blanket plausible deniability granted to anyone using drones to find targets. Perhaps there could be a rule about not discharging a firearm while a drone is in flight. I don’t see how that would be enforceable, however, inasmuch as it requires LE to witness the illegal kill, which almost never happens.

Yah, I appreciate the problems; perhaps you can't have a weapon on your person while doing certain permitted recovery things. In this case, it's some poor SOB who got a phone call from some hunters^H^H^H^H^H^H agents who wanted help finding a hurt animal.

      > perhaps you can't have a weapon on your person while doing certain permitted recovery things Oh, duh. They're surveilling themselves. Drone needs to keep last X hours of footage on file at all times. If you're caught, the ranger manually reviews for a moment, takes a copy of the tape and your information, and thanks you for your time. If during the spot or extended review it's found you were stalking an animal with the drone, you're fined. Pay for it with a hunting-drone use fee.
