Jazz Report post Posted May 16, 2016 Ok, I admit it. I was a bit skeptical. My son had saved up and bought a Bebop 2 drone. I'm hooked. Below is a link to his first video- I can just think of the possibilities of the arial shots and the "I wonder whats up there" moments. It'll be fun scouting. Of course, it's illegal for hunting. I'm well aware and wouldn't break the rules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YoLD6gkugg 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seek100plus Report post Posted May 16, 2016 If you fish and can't cast far into fish biting or middle of lake. Use the drone to take your lure to where you want and drop it . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattys281 Report post Posted May 16, 2016 Drone fishing.... that could be interesting. I have to admit though, I'd be the one guy in the crowd that was waiting to see a 10 lb. large mouth grab ahold of that lure and drag that drone right under that water.

Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted May 16, 2016 I was visiting my wife at her school during a recess.....and all the sudden there is a drone flying over the playground....honestly gave me a creepy feeling......not sure I am really that excited about the drone era, and as far as out in the woods....last thing I want to see is another motorized device clogging up what I went out there to get away from. In theory they look pretty cool just not sure of the ramifications of it all...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazz Report post Posted May 16, 2016 Jazz, you may want to check the regs. Most of the time, drones are illegal for scouting. I did. And I'm not really going to go all out using this thing, just some aerial shots. F&G Rules dictate you can't even touch a drone two days before a hunt.

ready2hunt Report post Posted May 16, 2016 So based upon the reg. that str8tshot put up its NOT illegal for scouting unless a G&f office deems it is. That being said- The drones I have seen are loud. How can you use these for scouting without scarring the game off? i have been 100's of yards away and have spooked them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if Archery Deer is open , you can not be using a Drone to scout for an upcoming ELK hunt ... So basically you would have a few Summer Months to possibly use it.
