Thread: Drone hunting

I thought you were only allowed to fly them over your own private property. Something to do with privacy laws. So flying over your own farm checking out stock is ok, but you can't cross the boundary wire and check on the neighbors stock without their permission

Hunters Club used a drone to move some geese up river in one of their episodes. Not sure if you would do it all the time but it worked well for that situation. I don't have a need (I mean money) for a drone so I will walk.

so many un-needed gimmicks etc these days, some people seem to have lost touch with good old fashioned hunting. Should be able to go hunting with ya pack and rifle and or dog and nail deer. If you need all the thermal, nightvision gear etc etc and what not then you aint doing it right or you have lost touch with "hunting"

I agree, but the toys are good fun to play with

but thats just my opinion. opinions are like arseholes... everyone has one. Each to their own

Ive got a lad working for me at the moment . He's Drone mad . Spends by the sounds of it all his time and money, on on them . He tells me he's got one (he has many ) that is completely silent . For what I gather you can get real good quality images on your sd card , but the live transmitted image is not good .

I don't think anyone here is rely promoting the idea of shooting down a drone so the red-head can get her knickers untwisted. I just think it is sad when something like hunting becomes a kind of high tech race to the top rather than man vs deer/pig etc. I think we have enough advantage with a scoped rifle and/or dogs but hay it's a free country just please don't ruin the peace of the back country. Helicopters are annoying enough.

It's a good idea, but I think we should use drones as target to shoot.
