Drone Hovering Over Me While Hunting

[MUZZYSLINGR]

I wonder if poachers have started using them, to check out places to make sure everything is clear and to see where the deer are

I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that had happened.

How high

So, legally, a drone operator can run the thing wherever he wants and there's no real legal recourse for the person being messed with? More evidence of a jacked up world we live in. Jeez.

Nope. I do believe hunter harassment is covered by TPWD

I'd call the Game Warden and let them know about the incident.

Drones are like dogs. Keep them in check if you value them.

blame the gun, not the shooter.

Appraisal district figuring the taxable values of the set up......

Congratulations on your $2,000 dollar feeder, $1,000 dollar enclosure which will be removed from ag and that blind is large enough to live in so $25,000

Thats a good problem to have! Means you have access to a Cessna! As for the drone, hopefully whoever it was got the message and doesnt do it again.

Agreed. there needs to be more enforcement of the laws from the FAA. And the only agency that own any airspace int he US is the FAA. Keeping a drone in "line of sight" is a "best practice " and recommended by the FAA but not a law.



What is funny to me as I see more and more drones interact with people most people have the reaction of "eff drones" and they shouldn't be flying over my land but they don't have the same reaction to planes or helicopters? It is very interesting to me.



I wish more drone owners were responsible and the FAA did more against them but that is a long way off.

A helicopter is usually several hundred feet over you. Flying a drone a 30 feet over your property to me gets intrusive. The laws need to be fixed.

Consider that, unless he gets you on camera doing it, it would be very hard to prove that you jammed the drone. The other advantage of this is that the a-hole who was flying the drone is going to have to come over to get his equipment, and you get to have a conversation with him, which you can get the game warden involved in. That being said, the jammers aren't cheap.

Unless it was the GW's drone....

The game warden hovers his drone over my feeder, and I'm having a conversation with his supervisor.
