Now that would be REALLY fun! It's one trophy I would actually have to consider putting on my wall.

They going to have the courtesy to wait until you yell 'PULL!' ?

I'll be happy to give them GPS coordinates- if they have the gonads.

How much do you want to bet they will get a grant from good ole' bama for these....

What's the daily bag limit on PETA drones?

No limits, nuisance outlaw quadra-copters...

Wouldn't that be just about right?


But I'm pretty sure ruining someone's hunt in this manner would still be considered harrassing hunters in Louisiana, and in violation of state law.

But we can still dream, though.

I'd clear my desk of everything for a solid month to wait on him if I knew that badass from SHARK was planning on coming to my place.

Don't know for sure but they should have to follow FAA regulations meaning the display of tail numbers. This would make it a little easier to call in the complaint.

The FAA doesn't require tail numbers on "recreational" aircraft like r/c airplanes, quad copters, etc, but requires you to maintain line-of-sight and be able to manually control the aircraft, stay below 400 ft, etc. Government agencies can get a certificate of airworthiness which puts you in FAA airspace but I haven't heard of any private groups or individuals being able to obtain one (except for manufacturers). Currently this is only an option for universities along with state and federal agencies. With that in mind, it is very unlikely that PETA would ever be able to do more than hover above the treeline on public property.

Edit: Based on the Louisiana law posted above. Even this would be illegal.

I was really looking forward to posting a youtube video with my new trophy.
