I've been tracking a bachelor group of White Tail bucks for the last three summers. The one in this video from last evening is the largest of the bunch. The 7X lens on the Mavic 3 Pro, very slow flight, and some cropping make this close view possible. None of the deer were ever aware of the drone. I think this one may have caught my scent; he stared in my direction for a while, but never raised his view to the drone.

Awesome video! I think I counted at least 10 points. Beautiful animal for sure.

Please don't kill it.

No worries. I've not told anyone the location and I won't.

I do hunt and I like venison, but I'd never shoot that deer. He should remain an active participant in the gene pool. Besides, you'd wear out three crock pots and a couple of pressure cookers, trying to cook that gnarly old buck.

But there are legitimate reasons for killing such a deer, including overpopulation, disease, nuisance/danger, food.
I agree that there may be legitimate reasons. I just prefer to know that the meat is used for consumption and its not killed just for heads on the wall and bragging rights (regardless of the reason one decides to kill one).
