Ok, so I was really thinking about this. A buddy of mine in the PF chapter is a beet farmer and had played around with his new drone during harvest. Posted it on FB, etc.
It got me thinking about hunting - to film my hunts from an aerial view.
I posted an article on my site about it (likely can't share link here eh?) and inquired to the regional warden supervisor and Doug Leier.
Doesn't sound like ND allows any use of Drone for hunting. I can understand that it's not a fair chase thing but I did find a couple SD outfitters (assumed they are guide services) that used drones to film their hunts.
Watching the one closely, I can see a a great value added service to their clients. Also, to be used beforehand to show clients how to set up with flankers, etc when walking certain fields, etc for optimal safety measures. Then everyone knows how to position, etc.
So is this just a blanket law to prevent all use so there is no "gray" areas that could arise? I get using them to locate game and see that side of it. However, from the truly ethical hunters, it sucks to have something taken away from us for just trying to capture our hunts/memories. When it comes to pheasant hunting, I don't really see how one could "locate" pheasants in cover or chase them, etc.
Anyone else feel this is a blanket law to prevent us from doing this? (filming hunts). I would love to film and show the videos on my hunting site and share with others.
