    Default Drones

    What's the deal with these flying around now? And what good are they doing at night?

    I assume you mean personal drones? Probably just people that bought them for Christmas and trying them out. And just taking video/pics of the lights. I don't know. I'm reminded everyday I don't understand people.

    Or back to the black helicopters, they can mount different types of cameras to them. Some can do thermal imaging. I doubt they work well in the city, but I've seen them being advertised for crop monitoring and I'm sure if you have the money the technology is out there.

    I'm sure it wouldn't be stupid at all if a certain congregation of asswipes answered. Just seeing if anyone had similar experiences and what was the purpose if any

    Oh, then I'd be right there with you. More than one or just the one? I'd guess its your neighbor, but you can bet I would make sure I let my neighbor know before I flew over his farm. Check that. I would ask. They only have a flight time of 25-30 minutes so shouldn't be that hard to see where it goes back to.

    Or shoot it and see if it has a tag on it.

    I'm intrigued by drones and I see a ton of worthwhile applications, but its going to be really interesting to see the conflicts between them and landowners in the future. $400 drones and idiots don't mix well. There will be alot more conflicts with them after this Christmas. And like someone else said, there might be a few that are mistaken for ducks this duck season.

    I'm getting one early next year, but it's going to be limited to use over the land we hunt or public areas where appropriate.

    I've always wanted to use one to illustrate to hunting buddies how terrible they are at hiding

    Turkey hunters best friend follow them straight to the roost. Hell with thermal imaging you can tell where all your animals on your property. If antlers only showed up.

    They may illustrate to you how good they are at shooting.

    Then don't ask a stupid ass question. Some of them can be equipped with night vision cameras. I would imagine if you're seeing one at night that's what it is and that's what it's doing... Taking video.

    One can only hope that they were using them to track and shoot pit bulls.

    I went to a meeting that discussed a state that prevented drones used for scouting /hunting purposes on public lands in exchange for preventing the anti's from using them to scare game away from hunters.

    Should I introduce legislation offering this on state lands? WMA's? Private?
