So I’m sitting here (sweating my ass off) watching a plot/rd in a clear cut. Wind isn’t ideal, but decided to try it anyway. I’m checking out/scanning in my rangefinder whenever I hear a swarm of yellow jackets, and they sound pissed... I’m thinking a few of these pesky hogs might’ve messed up and wallered up a nest.. then the sound gets louder... a fucking drone came up the wood line, and stopped to hover over the food plot, up the road, spun, saw me, and high tailed off. I brought it up to the owner of the lease I’m in and he said that it’s an asshole property owner that butts up to us, and this isn’t the first time he’s done it... so needless to say, next time I see that thing flying it’s gonna go from a hunt to target practice...

If you know where this person is, someone needs to put there big boy pants on and go talk to him about it!

I was on a lease one time where the adjoining property owner had a stand on the line looking right into our property.

I went and knocked on his door and said he can take it down, face it the other way or have fwc visit him. But after that, I'd be taking it down myself for him! The tree was literally on the line!

The stand was gone the next day!

Drone Regulations:

https://www.faa.gov/uas/media/Part_107_Summary.pdf

It 'SEEMS" like, as long as the operator has the drone in sight, doesn't fly it over a person, it's legal to fly anywhere. Even your back yard. I don't agree with it, but it has been upheld in a couple courts.

By the way... I've talked to 2 Private Investigators (airline pilots on the side) who use these on a regular basis. Both say that "watching you" from above is legal.From the above rules, I think they are correct. I don't like the law, but it is the law.

If you shoot it down you are breaking the law.

Don't shoot it down on camera.
