Don’t forget to leave your purse in the car too.

Misogyny isn’t a good look, dude. Blocked.

Not sure about Wisconsin, but in NY, the law says no aircraft can be used to help in hunting. But if you’re just scouting before the season, it might not apply.
It’s dumb. You can’t just fly up and see if there are deer or elk without climbing a mountain? We use fish finders and traps; why not drones to save us some effort?
Just don’t have a gun with you while using your drone, and you should be safe.
Here’s a link that might help: Wisconsin Drone Laws and Hunting. Talks about hunting and scouting with drones.

Thanks, that’s exactly what I needed!
Rules can vary, but generally, you can’t use drones to aid in hunting, including scouting. If you’re not in camo and don’t have weapons, you’re probably just a wildlife photographer.

It doesn’t matter if you’re not in camo; if you could be providing info to a hunter, it’s considered aiding. That’s why it’s tricky.
According to this source, scouting is legal: Wisconsin Drone Regulations.
No federal law says you can’t, but state laws vary. Always double-check.
I see some folks call it ‘herd analysis’ instead of scouting. I’m not hunting right now, just doing this for fun. No firearms involved, just the drone. Is that okay?
In Texas, it’s not legal for game animals without a permit, even if you’re just taking pictures.
If you’re doing it just for fun and not disturbing the wildlife, it’s usually fine. But if you get too close and they notice you, you’re technically disturbing them.
Kentucky is about to change its rules on this.
Check your state’s fish and game laws. In some places, you can’t hunt within 24 hours of flying in a drone.
Technically, it’s legal if you’re not disturbing wildlife and leaving your hunting gear at home. If you’re flying responsibly, most agencies don’t care.
Legal doesn’t always mean you won’t get hassled by a game warden. It’s up to you if you want to risk that.
You just gotta get the deer to sign a release form.
