They talked about how they caught the guy spotlighting a live deer at night. I can see it from both sides. On the one hand, you want to allow hunters to recover animals they've killed, otherwise it's all a waste. On the other hand, some people will use drones for poaching, or to get an unfair advantage. There are artificial restrictions built into hunting, that is not new. The question is how to write regulations to get the good effects and not the bad effects, which is incredibly difficult.
I agree that it seems unfair to charge this guy when he was not trying to poach, he was just trying to help recover the animal, and using a flashlight on the drone to do it. That's really not the guy you should make an example of.
