For a Montana guy I've never mountain hunted Deer. Just stuff on the hi-line.

But planning on doing a bit of backpack hunting this year.

Been playing with the AI a bit for a bit of different things.

You can upload a map screen shot and it will mark where the deer probably will be. It will also tell you why. Just tell it the time of year.

Honestly it's marked where I was going based on summer scouting.

Yesterday my buddy texted me. He was going in a new area for elk. He wanted me to chat gpt the spot for him. Ha he found elk exactly where it said they'd be

Any experts played with this to verify?
 
It will be right until it is wrong. Sounds like you are two for two so far but I wouldn't expect to walk to where it tells you and find animals every single time.
 
I hope all the guys that are whining and crying about this are using stick bows and spears to hunt. I hope you are all making your clothes and gear out of animals that your killed with your bare hands.
It technology, and it’s gonna keep advancing. The advancement in technology is what gave you the modern rifles and bows of today, the lightweight gear and equipment you probably most all use.
I’m not arguing for the use of AI I think this is now different then some guy with experience saying that elk like draws in the morning and water in the evening, or vice versa.
The OP was just asking a question.

OP was making a statement. He wasn’t asking anything, he is saying that AI will one shot hunting as we know it. Honestly if you can get AI to do massive amounts of footwork for you. Where is the glory in the struggle of figuring any of it out. I get it’s not that dire, but we are headed that way, why not have a drone that just goes out and fills your tag, you could film it and put it on YouTube and then a bigger drone could drop it off at your house…

It’s gonna happen. I don’t know if it will be in my lifetime, but it’s coming! As unfortunate as it may be.
 
Controversial topic for sure.

I just tried it myself and it outright refuses to put a mark on a map, just reiterates common knowledge about deer habits and types of cover to look for. Told me nothing I didn't know and nothing you couldn't get from a quick Google search.

Having recently started to experiment with chat gpt for work I'm starting to see what the hype is about and some of the glaring draw backs. It excels when analyzing real data but will often give you false info with utmost confidence, if you don't know enough to see through that you will be mislead.

As a scouting tool its no worse than using a guide or trail cams as far as ethics go.

Like it or not its here to stay, but I doubt it's ever going to be that useful for this application.
 
Just ran this experiment on the local whitetail WMA and asked it to give me 6 spots (removed all map pins before taking screenshot). 2 are actually spots that I sat and saw multiple deer last year including small spikes. 3rd I did not sit but had a buddy kill a deer two years ago and another last year.

Other 3 seem iffy at best to me. I may check them out anyways just to see this weekend.
 
I tried it in my area and it pinned road intersections, saddles with roads and missed numerous other high value terrain features so I don’t think it’s much help.
 
Ugh 😑 this is awful man. Really it has never been easier to get into big game hunting, just another blow to figuring stuff out. Honestly I might be done ever giving advice out, I’ll stick around for gear buying and selling but it’s all just so tiresome…
Hey, you and @Ucsdryder gave me some solid advice 2 years ago and I tagged out the last two years on bulls with the ML. Will be hoping to do the same again here in a few days. At least someone took some advice from real people and put it to use. You guys rock!

Thanks man, makes me feel a tad better you obviously figured it out and I’m sure that felt pretty good when you did

I feel yah. The world is going to hell in a bucket. I think I have it figured out. Last year I called him into 30 yards from at least a half mile. Met him about halfway between us. Really hope they will talk to me again. Either way, I will enjoy myself and report back.

It will be useful to an extent, but like you said, nothing more than very basic observations.
