Title: Which States Or Organizations Are Opposed To Drones?
Post by: Whip on February 08, 2016, 12:26:00 AM
I am hearing more and more about how drones are being used for a whole host of new applications.  I know that some states have already enacted laws against their use in hunting or scouting.  Does anyone know which states?  
How about hunting organizations?  Which of those that you belong to have taken an official stand on the use of drones?

Kentucky has a bill working through the system now banning them from use in hunting.  To my knowledge hasn't passed yet.

NH was quick to ban the use of drones for any scouting/hunting. I believe VT did also.

It's easy sometimes to be the critic of state wildlife mgt. agencies. Praise is due to the agencies who take a stand on this issue.

BTW, NHF&G also took a stand regarding crossbows - they are relegated to the firearms season here.
