Let me know what you think.

And this is precisely why as drone pilots we get a bad name.

For filming some deer?

That was great...the look of bewilderment on their faces

I believe you are encroaching on the health and welfare of some beautiful animals on their turf. I’m sure you have heard the saying “deer in the headlights” look. They were obviously going to bolt and run as your drone was a threat to them. I’m sure you would have felt bad if they were injured while trying to get away.

I think you shouldn't be treating wild animals like livestock. I've enjoyed your cow videos, but I don't think it's appropriate to disturb wild deer with a drone.

You may also be running afoul of state and federal law. Almost all U.S. states have laws prohibiting the use of drones for hunting. Most include scouting, too. Even if you don't hunt you would probably have a bit of a problem convincing a game warden that you weren't.

Try a web search for regulations and "disturb wildlife" and "disturbing wildlife."

However none seemed injured while walking away

That’s not the point. Deer are very flighty creatures and are known to have heart attacks when stressed.

Hmm. Does your enthusiasm for harassing animals to provoke entertaining reactions extend to humans?
