NO Drones!  If a hunter can not find wildlife the traditional way then maybe they shouldn't hunt.  As for LE using, only if there is warrant.

Isn't the traditional way for a bunch of guys with dogs and/or fire to drive the animals through the forest?

Don't let the word drone scare you. A great deal of good will come from using them,and some bad sure, but the same with streetside cameras etc...
I assume there will be a division of those that have payload capabilities, and those that have no payload.
UAV use is not illegal. Using them for commercial use is... using them in various conditions is... (FAA rules)  But I can get a helo or a plane from any hobby shop and use it.

I know you cant use aircraft for spotting and hunting game, but isn't that just for the same day?

I just wanted to get a feel of a few opinions... I'm very much a fair game hunt kinda guy... (hours of scouting, get away from roads, don't use bait/teams of hunters/dogs/)

I do think there will be a loophole and someone will try to exploit it.

(sorry about posting in ELK HUNTING but I don't really look elsewhere)

( if you have read this and want to argue, that is not my purpose... re-read it and pretend your grandmother is saying it...I may have not used correct grammar or mis-spelled a word,  I'm on your side. Just want to know your opinion to help present it when the time comes.)
Hunting, Basketball, Cars.... not much more for me to talk about.

Deer trail Colorado has over 900+ applications/requests for drone hunting permits. Now that could be fun!

It sickens me to think that people are actually thinking this may be an ethical way of hunting.  You may as well go raise the dang thing in your yard and put a webacm on it.  When it comes into site, you can shoot it from your computer.  Get off your arse and go find them.
If you actually think you could call this hunting, you may as well not call yourself a hunter. :twocents:

For those who use game cameras, I suppose I could see a use for drones...

Instead of driving 50 miles to retrieve your camera's memory card, then driving 50 miles home to upload and view photos, you could just fly your camera equipped drone over your area, in the morning and evening...lol

I'm sure some of you on here have watched the tv series revolution. Maybe it's time the lights go out for a bit. I think some people may need a reset.
I can't believe anyone would see a plus side to this drone crap in our hunting areas!!!!

My honest opinion is that they'd make great target practice!

What if UAVs were only to be used for hunting cougars and wolves?

okay now for my opinion.

I would hope that rules and regulations will prohibit using UAVs for any scouting or hunting purposes.  As a Hobby its great fun.

Big brother issue will always exist. I don't want someone watching me, nor do I care what your doing in your own world.

But to be afraid to use this method to collect data is like being afraid of having a portable phone with photographic capabilities back in the late 70's. 

The use of a UAV for farming, Mining, Logging, Minerals, safety, erosion, construction… etc  Will be a great way to efficiently and effectively be utilized in cost cutting measures and increase production, and probably minimize a great deal of negative impact that occur in current data collection today.
Also during recent fires, a UAV could have been sent up, see where the fire is in real time, document wind and verify location and areas of concerns.  All of that data could be sent to the dispatch and help with the logistics of using the air support for fire suppression.

I see more good than bad from regulated UAV use.

(sorry to have this in the elk section, prefer your opinions over fishing, wolves, bigfoot, varmint, for sale items, etc.)
thx

Hate the idea. We currently have planes low flying our property and surrounding, and have for several years.  :bash:

With all of today's technology I feel it's only fair if every deer and elk has a drone.
