Doesn't the FWC have a law against harassing hunting?

I will ask a friend of mine today.

So it's flying over the property line and hovering over you while hunting?

If so, approximately how low did it get?

Myself, shoot it down and hide it.

From the time it got to the plot to the time it left was 5 minutes or so. It came from down the clear cut near his property line, up to the plot - hovered and looked around, up to the shooting house and looked inside, hovered higher, I reckon it saw me because I saw the camera look down on me - hovered there, then flew off towards where I believe his camp house is. Talked to the lease owner and he’s said that it’s happened to him while hunting as well... the warden was contacted, and out taxidermist that hunts with us contacted him as well. It should be very clear to him that the next time it flies over our land that it’ll be shot down.

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!

We’ve already had an altercation, and the law had to be involved, but I appreciate it [emoji849]

It would not be wise to shoot it down. That will only escalate things and there's no provision in the law for you to do so. Unfortunately, you'll have to handle this theough the proper channels.

Disagree, kinda. I still say if it goes rogue it’s your responsibility to take it out before it harms someone. This of course would not apply to your neighbors yard dog that likes to poo in your plot every afternoon[emoji56]

You'd have to prove it was rogue and prone to hurt someone. Federal law prohibits shooting down any aircraft. A drone is an aircraft. The law needs to deal with this issue soon since it is obviously a problem. Also, a person does not own the air space above their property.

Breaking rule #6 above proves it has to be rogue! I’m just yanking your chain anyway, you a drone pilot Mr Spoon?

Lol, no. I already have too many hobbies. My first instinct would be to shoot it down, but I helped a friend with this kind of situation and learned a lot in the research I did. She had a neighbor flying his drone over while she was in the pool with her kids. Sadly, there wasn't anything she could really do about it. It really does need to be reasonably addressed in the law books.
