    Pretty cool, but still prefer the "target practice" method!

    Thanks for the share!

    That's brilliant.

    On another note, I hope someone doesn't get the bright idea to start hunting with drones. Although nothing would surprise me.

    I liked the video of the chimp that whacked a drone down with a stick.

    I do believe that it is already taking place.

    That's obscene unless you're hunting down prison escapees.

    I agree.......

    On the other hand I can see them being used to harass lawful hunters as well.

    The Feds passed one of their "sneek laws" back in December. Almost no one knows it exists so they are operating illegally and do not know it. That way it can be applied "selectively" to some and not others.

    The fine for not registering your drone, $27,000 for the first offense.

    Drone are already being used for hunting, and PETA and other groups have been using them to harass hunters already. Most states have laws against harassing legal hunters.

    KyRat, I have seen that law. The biggest issue with laws like that is state and local LE can't enforce federal law and there aren't hoards of feds looking for the millions of little drones.

    Drones are already used for hunting... by the military...

    It was actually extremely big news running a several year battle with the FAA among drone and rc aircraft enthusiasts.

    That's awesome! I read about that earlier today but didn't see a video. The drones don't stand a chance!
