ultralight ruined my hunt tonight!
« on: October 19, 2014, 07:40:31 PM »
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!  :bash: 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!  :bash: i am so pissed about it. What is wrong with these people?

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.. :tup:

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 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?

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
