[QUOTE="FireFlyFishing, post: 2994368, member: 127412"] I totally think that’s a legit video of a deer being “long lined” using an UAV. Hunters use crewed aircraft to get them in and out of hunt spots every season in multiple states, hauling out game when they fly out of their hunt spot(s). If it were a crewed helicopter doing the same thing, would you feel differently? I’ve known guys in MT who have hired helicopters companies to fly them into land locked public land that’s surround by private, harvested game, and then were flown out. I’ve also know some that have used helicopter to fly a “drop camp” right up to the wilderness boundary that‘s difficult to get to. It’s not illegal as long as you follow the regulations of the state you’re hunting in and any aircraft involved follows FAA regulations. And…you’re willing to throw down some serious money. Aircraft are used extensively in AK by many, many hunters every season. Watch any AK hunting show and they usually talk about the laws in AK they have to follow because they are using aircraft to hunt. As long the UAV pilot and hunters involved follow all the rules, there’s nothing wrong here as the regs are written now. I’m not trying to convince anyone this is great…just telling you how it is.
