Wet hunting this afternoon with my cousin... we had spotted a nice whitetail 160 yards away bedded in crp (private land) had my cousin set up on the rest waitjng for the deer to stand when a ultralight flys over us at 30-40 feet!

runs the deer off then circles them and runs them a different direction. We sprint 200 yards and set up for a rushed shot. My cousin shot over the buck. Then after all this the flyer circles back and waves to us!

i am so pissed about it. What is wrong with these people?

you should have reported it. its illegal for them to harass you

Either an anti hunter or pushing the deer in a direction for other hunters. I was also going to say file a complaint against that guy, go after his license.

I had a hot air balloon hit its burner right above me once, the doe I was stalking took off. Of course, the balloon was not intentional. What a jerk. I don't think ultralights have any registration number requirements, but I'm not sure. Should be someone in the area though that knows who it is.

You guys crack me up. Call the cops, report this, report that. It's a waste of tax payers dollars to send a cop out to do nothing about it. Go find the nearest air field and find they guy yourself and tell him a thing or too and stop depending on others to fight your battles. Can't you throw a rock 30-40 feet at his ultralight ? That's what I'd do..

It was a red and blue parachute ultralight and i was hunting just south of spokane. If anyone else saw it please let me know.
I did call a game warden whose phone number i have and he said he was too far away to get there. But if i find out who it was he would investigate.
If he wouod have landed anywhere near i would have had words with him! I did look for a rock but was more focused on getting a shot at the deer.

I'd be po'd too. Good luck on finding the guy.

very aggravating to have this happen on private land... seems just like trespassing to me!
oh well at least I have late rifle season and late archery to chase that buck!

There's gotta be an airfield within 20 miles.

I spoke with a couple neighbors and they think they might know who it is... he launches from his property fairly often.
do you know what kind of range those things have?

Start carrying a wrist rocket and a pocket full of marbles!

Eli346 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 19, 2014, 08:24:02 PM »

Ultralights don't need an airfield. They can take off and land in almost any clearing!

How many yards to do so ? He could of taken off from a wheat field then, right ?

I don't think a 10 gauge would be big enough.

(Kidding of course, added for the Internet police)

I don't have a clue about ultralights. I know they seem to crash quite often.

lokidog · « **Reply #16 on:** October 19, 2014, 09:09:59 PM »

One of those can lift off in 50 feet or less depending on the breeze.

There was an ultra-light buzzing waterfowl hunters in Stanwwod years back.

Lot of goose guns going off( 10 ga).

Poor ultra-light seemed to catch a round and had to land.

Last time we saw him.

sorry about that chris...I was a little turned around where I was...u didnt wave back

No shooting down ultralights. It wouldn't take much to bring one down and the person would likely die. I have a friend who went down in one and it wasn't pretty. Report to the cops. If he's legal, there's probably nothing you can do. He can say he was just out for a ride.

your too funny! You could have at least chased amd herded the deer toward us!

Too bad i wasnt bird hunting... its amazing how many birds were flying between me and that canopy! But i had no shotgun...

BULLBLASTER · « **Reply #21 on:** October 20, 2014, 08:09:21 AM »

No way in hell i would fly anywhere in one of those. It loomed like a skydiver with a 4 foot fan strapped to his back!

quadrafire · « **Reply #22 on:** October 20, 2014, 09:06:41 AM »

You think he was harassing the deer? or just cruising around?
At least it was manned and not a drone. Maybe he was scouting

he most definitely went out of his way to circle the deer a couple times and tuen come back to smile amd wave at us. Then he continued on last i saw him was about a mile away. None of the neighbors are real happy with him buzzi g arou d so low either.

yes he was headed the direction of the area you hunt. I was on the same place i hunt that we have talked about before. He headed southeast after leaving us.

I hunted with a buddy in the Desert unit about 15 years ago when one of those buzzed a big buck we were stalking, then just flew away waving. We were pissed as well, but we spotted plenty of bucks that day, so we didn't pursue it.

hambone · « **Reply #26 on:** October 20, 2014, 08:12:55 PM »

I will talk to my hunting partner he grew up down around there might be able to find out who might have one of those ultralights

Stumps · « **Reply #27 on:** October 21, 2014, 02:13:00 AM »

No ultra lights for me. But I did have a guy decide to drive out to the spot I was hunting and fire off 15 rounds of 9MM. Came out, shot, and then got in the car and left. Not sure if he was testing a new gun or intentionally trying to spoil my hunt.

hambone · « **Reply #28 on:** October 21, 2014, 07:11:49 PM »

Well talk to my hunting partner he called his folks they have lived down there since the 60 they know a lot of people they are going to ask around his dad was a hunter so this might fire him up give them a few days see what they come up with

hambone · « **Reply #29 on:** October 21, 2014, 07:18:10 PM »

Talked to my hunting partner he is going have his dad ask around they have lived down there since the 60s knows most of the farmers and folks around that area and he was a hunter too so hopefully i will hear something soon
