It is the time of year for archery deer hunters and soon, firearm deer hunters, to be on their stands or in their blinds all day long, up to 12 hours… alone.
Doesn’t sound like it’s too difficult to do, does it? Pulling an all-day sit is no easy feat even with your iPhone or Android, but it is. Deer hunting for long periods by yourself demands complete fortitude, conviction and tenacity.

CORRECTION: A correction has been made to the original post. Drones MAY NOT BE USED to scout game either on private or public property.
With deer season in full swing, Kansas Game Wardens are receiving questions regarding drones and using them as hunting aids. Drones are considered an aircraft or air vehicle under the FAA. It is illegal to take any game animal or furbearing animal using any air vehicle or aircraft. It is also illegal for any person to use a radio or mechanical device to provide or receive information concerning the location of any game animal or furbearing animal for the purpose of taking such animal or bird.
A common question during deer season is, can drones be used to track, locate or help recover a wounded deer? Drones are NOT LEGAL to be used to track, locate, or recover any game animal or furbearing animal, because the drone is still acting as an aid in the taking such animal or bird.
We hope everyone has any enjoyable hunting season.
