[Why not?]

...before someone tries using this for hunting?

Don't laugh. Suggested retail $300, and there are already guys talking about it in the USA.

Once they reduce the noise and boost the range, it might be a useful tool for seeing what's over the next hill.

My understanding in BC, you cannot hunt an area you "flew" over for 24hrs. Negates the ability to fly around to scout for game.

Downsides to this type of stuff. Very sensitive to winds, Very sensitive to Rain and snow, very fragile, very NOISY. Lots of fragile gear to pack around. high pitch whine from fans will carry for miles. If the game don't consider it a threat, fine. But if they do, then what are you going to see?

I am sure for varmint hunting where there are no limits (they shoot from helicopters), this tech will come in handy on calm mornings.

Better put a homing device on it cause they will crash and I think they will be hard to find in the bush.

Alberta as well, and it is illegal to relay information from an aircraft to hunters on the ground, so I imagine this would be a non-starter all the way.

I think it would be fun chasing the crows away from my corn! Hang a BB gun from it and chase the neighbours dog all the way home!
