This sounds like you've never been hunting. Animals move, sometimes right as you pull the trigger. Wounding doesn't mean you mortally wounded it either, sometimes it takes several shots no matter how good a marksman you are. No hunter wants a wounded animal as it will fill the meat with fight or flight hormones such as adrenaline. I don't know why you think its any more dangerous, no hunters save maybe bows are right up next to it. Some hunters will track for hours upon hours only to lose the prey, and this would help alleviate that. I think nixxing drones completely is throwing out the baby with the bath water.

How was hunting ever been without drones? If the animal is hunted, wounded than another animal will take it's place in hunting the animal. You loose your hunt, tough luck. Drones are a cheat.

    The animals, who else? With the technologies nowadays, they have no cover. No protection, no surroundings to protect themselves; no privacy. Here in the UK they are using drones to hunt foxes. The drone watches the fox run and then ride with the hounds to the exact point where to hunt, flushing the fox out of the ground. With no chance of escape; drones are not fair-game. The only act of protection are outdated rules which are criminality exploited and illegally broken or underfunded to be able to protect. Ironic how we are against drones on humans yet when it comes to animals, oh it's just fine. How long until animal hunting is done by drone? With AI being able to track their movements, predict, monitor movement all from the air, how the hell do they have any chance of from not being hunted? You tell me, how is that fair? You can't. I understand hunting, and to some; sure, it's not for fun. I can understand that. I'll be pissed but can turn an eye if your genuine about it. But when it becomes a disadvantage, your a shite of a person. Don't give me an "would you rather a limping deer who is bleeding to death" -- Don't shoot it in the first place if you know you can't kill it. Considering HN is American, enjoy slaughtering of animals from hunting to eating veal. Using drones on animal takes all protection away from the animal. It's not like your local Canadian moose has an Anti-AI vest or a tiger with an RPG or a fox with a nuke.

      > Here in the UK they are using drones to hunt foxes. To your enduring shame, I do believe you've banned coursing of hounds in its traditional form. Pity. You had a country once. I hope you remember it in your dotage, because it isn't coming back. > Considering HN is American I believe you have it confused with the Internet, but, no matter. Feel free to rail against Americans using drones to find downed prey, however little sense it may make. I assure you we won't notice, but I do hope it leaves you feeling better about things.

  I think you might be mixing things up here. This isn't about using drones to help find an animal you haven't shot yet and are having trouble finding. This is about using a drone to help locate an animal you did already shoot, but now are having trouble finding because it still managed to run off a bit, and now night is falling. It's going to die no matter what. It's not about not losing your hunt, it's also about putting the animal out of its misery. This isn't about cheating. It's about reducing suffering.
