    A still photo from a deer I recently arrowed. The drone was not at all required for this 65 yard recovery but I put the drone in the air a half hour after the deer was dead to get some practice. I flew around the carcass a bit to look at it from diff angles.

    DIY Homemade broadheads

    Im continuing to advance this DIY broadhead project. Making each blade by hand takes some time. Prior to kicking off the blades, I contacted a company in Lincoln Nebraska to make the stainless steel ferrules for me. The design is complicated and requires a Swiss Screw machine to produce the...

    Dog locators are common in the midwest. Yes, $300-$400 is the going rate. They dont want to feed the yotes, wolves, bears, foxes, crows, etc. They want the meat. They want the antlers

    You will not be mandated to use such a service. You will still have free will and can say no. I intend to use this service with conservation wardens participating in carcass recoveries whenever they are available (as the dept. seem interested in this.)

    I guess coyotes gotta eat too. You are REALLY overthinking this and making it something it is not. Its an optional tool that freedom of choice will dictate when and if a person wishes to employ. I cant see how it is a "fail" . I intend to use it as a learning tool. I think there a good bit of...

    Everybody can lose the trail at times. It happens. This is just another option to keep game from going to waste. Folks will still have free will and can opt NOT to seek help with a buddy or dog or drone if they think that they are less of a hunter if they cant find the animal they hit. If...

    [video] Because the person I would be doing the carcass recovery will know the approximate location of the animal and the lay of the land better that I will, they will need to see what I am seeing. This means they will have to peer over my shoulder the entire time as they will recognize...
