People v. Levigne, 297 Mich. App. 278 (Mich. Ct. App. 2012). “” MCL 324.40104(1). As a result of their interpretations of this statutory provision, both the prosecution and the lower courts have determined that defendants, by working in concert with Yoder, took the bear when they used dogs to tree the bear before Yoder shot it.”

On its face, that prohibition applies equally to hunters who want to recover downed game, anti-hunting activists who want to find injured animals to nurse them back to health, and anyone else who wants to use a drone to “follow” an animal.”
