Also mentioned

Why this works now (our analysis)

FAA Part 107 regulations enable Drone Deer Hunters to operate drones commercially for wildlife recovery. The company initially reached hunters through targeted advertising on r/Hunting, a subreddit dedicated to hunting enthusiasts. A challenge this business faces is the high capital required for drone equipment and maintenance, which can slow down scaling efforts.
