Drones and Hunting

Can anyone tell me where a drone would provide an actual advantage?.... Just asking, no darned in my fleet FYI...... Lol

I own one, and it would not in any way, shape, or form.

They have a MAX flight time of 25 min, and that would be a F-ova-lot lower in -10C. Any wind decreased that further. You need to spend at least 6K$ on the heli to carry a thermal cam. A thermal cam itself is several thousand dollars. You'd be so busy carrying it, flying it, and having the SOB's compass fail and it crash into the trees that hunting would very quickly become NOT FUN!!!!

This is a hypothetical conversation that will risk someone getting banned............

Carry on, I'm gonna sit here an watch, 'cause I'm the Idiot....
 
That would be a hard thing to prove Brad unless the person controlling the drone knew you were there and was actually purposefully interrupting your hunt. Aside from that if two different people are in the same area unbeknownst to each other and each is pursuing a different pass time, one hunting and one flying there would be no grounds to accuse the person of interfering with your hunt. I have had fisherman many times on Lake Nipissing work their way around the island I was hunting divers from insearch of fall walleye and within a few feet of the decoys. Yes it was rude but it didn't give me the right to shoot their boat or to have them charged with purposely interfering in my hunt would have been impossible to prove.

Agreed... I hunt over dekes on the Saint Lawrence.... I highly doubt I will ever see a drone.... And if I did, I would likely laugh..... That being said, I fish musky between morning hunt and afternoon hunt..... I may be tempted to snatch one in the net.....lol

So, is Parks Canada "purposely interfering" when they use heli's to drive animals into the park before opening day??

Them and the MNRF play all kinds of games as you appear to know. Absolutely disgusting how they hide behind "law".... but that's another topic.

Youre very presumptuous for a fellow who may have entered the area to hunt I was flying in. I would construe that as you interrupting my hobby and then damaging my equipment so the charges may be on you. Now I do not own a drone but merely wanted to find out the kind of mentality you possessed by stating early on you would shoot somebody's private property. You answered in spades what I kind of suspected!!

It's all good spank, I was assuming we were both being hypothetical, not a personal thing.
As for figuring out my mentality..... I've stated it many times before.... I'm am indeed an azzhole (with money for lawyers) so no worries, I'd absolutely blast a drone buzzing me while hunting ;)

Drones are cool, the photography and video capabilities are exceptional. I've also seen those drone obstactle races and figure that must be some kinda fun too. Nothin against cool technology guys but illegal is illegal so , no drones for hunting.
 
Them feathered hunters could use the drone to flush the feathers off the water to them.
Or them tree sqwatters seeing fur way yonder and sneak the drone around them
and fright them furs your way.

One should carry a pawket fisherman with a small weight on it.
Never know when one needs to practice casting a line.................uh-huh.

Game cams should be restricted to private property.
Hate them dang thangs.

Man I hate when this happens! I've politely asked some fisherman if they would be kind enough to move along and was shocked at some of the responses I've received. Most fisherman decided to move along once shots are fired, but it baffles me that it has to get to that point. When your line is getting tangled in my decoy cords and you still think its appropriate to hang around, God should make the decision to prevent you from procreating

I say no trucks, quads, snow machines, trail cams or drones. Boots only and you pack it out on foot.

Separate the men from the boys. Countless would hang it up and the rate of heart attacks would sky rocket ..

The jokers I see scurrying around on quads who call themselves hunters is entertaining to say the least. Might as well use drones along with their fish finders !!

I have more respect for the people who wear blaze orange during hunting season whom I KNOW don't hunt anything ... because at least they are smart enough to be wearing it because of all the bad shots out there with a hunting rifle :p

It's easy to see the guys who are serious about it and responsible, highest respect. I also have a certain respect for the "average" hunter because at least he's getting out there and doing it .... but the state of hunting in general today is ummm... interesting.

Be thankful you have the health to do all that hunting and packing on foot. I really wish i could, but that is not in the cards for me. Those of us with poor health are not so fortunate. But I will use my quad to do the little I can to get into the outdoors and possibly get some game. If that bothers you. Not my problem.
 
Comparing drones to fish finders to truck hunting is just getting silly.
You guys all need girlfriends or pocket pu**ies or new hobbies or I dunno what.

I'm out of this conversation LOL
