Drones and Deer Hunting - Are Legal Changes Coming SOON to Your State? w/Mike Yoder | Series: High-Tech Hunting; IQ-5

from Deer IQ

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast we are joined by Mike Yoder for part 2 of our talk, and we dig into some of the controversy behind using drones to recover deer. Realize this was recorded in August of 2025, however much of the legal use has not changed in many states. In this part 2 we begin by talking about:• the #1 question a drone operator gets asked when called to recover a deer.• if you can fly over neighboring land, and how low can you legally go?• exactly when you NEED a license to use a drone - for scouting, personal recovery, paid recovery?• his legal battle with Michigan - what it's over and how he's fighting it.• when a hunt is actually over - how specific words matter in legal interpretation.• dumb things hunters do that jeopardize the future of drone use.• his view of how this will all play out in states, and how to best get it legalized.And more all in this episode!* Deer Drone Recovery Webpage: https://www.dronedeerrecovery.com/ • 2A DISPLAY PRODUCTS  (10% OFF Code "IQ" ) Here: https://www.2adisplay.com/ • Get a Smart Land & Hunting Plan HERE: https://deeriq.com/land-and-hunting-plans/ • Take the Deer IQ Test 360 HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/______________________________________________** Season 3 Quiz: https://deeriq.com/season-3-quiz/ __________________________________________GENERAL INFO about ALL Deer IQ Resources HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/ Website: https://deeriq.com  Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762  Deer IQ  FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/  Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide:  https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/  Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/  Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon   Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/ Episode # 130Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Mike YoderIQ ranking - 5
