Drone-assisted hunting to be illegal in Alaska after game board decision

Phantom pictured.

Would be pretty tough to prove that you were using the drone to help spot wildlife and not just flying around for fun to take pictures WHILE hunting.

Ha Ha the first thing my Brother in-law said when he saw my Phantom was wow this would be great for hunting. I promptly told him to go and pound sand.

Doesn't bother me, I think having the rifle is enough of a advantage. The rest should be the hunters skill

I don't know, I think it will be a great tool for scouting. I know flying over my brother-in-law's this winter it was enlightening to see how many trails were cut through his property (and where). As it is now, I don't think the P2V would be very useful to seek out game in real time, the fpv resolution just isn't that good. As far as an unfair advantage, well yeah you could say that about an atv, fancy spotting scope or maybe the firearm as well? I was watching the show "Wicked Tuna" the other night, and saw one of the crews using a guy in a light aircraft to spot the schools of fish. What's the difference?

I've modded the Phantom to do some shooting.
Will need more power for bigger game.

Let me know what you think.

I would like to photo wildlife with me P2v. Many states and the Feds would consider this harrasment

Surely that is not acceptable - how do you ensure you get a clean kill ?

Haha - got caught on the instructional video - made me smile

Why the need to put a gun on everything..... Phantom + Weapon = worst idea ever and should be banned from appearing in these forums. Also drone assisted hunting goes against all the wonderful things the phantom stands for. It seems i am repeating myself, but i don't like guns never have and never will. Nothing good comes from a gun EVER!!! it have one purpose and that is to damage.

Because its America and we can! Land of the free. Ever read the constitution?....probably not! As long as all the necessary precautions are taken why does it matter to you? Why the hate towards guns?....lots of good things come from them. And just so you know guns don't kill people....PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE! Your just one of many millions of ignorant and uneducated people in America. You are the ones to blame for our country going down the toilet. I bet you voted for Obama huh?? :lol: Fn commie!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion - there is no need to be so aggressive.

Yes I agree everyone is entitled to an opinion. But why the need to post anti-gun comments on the thread? Start you own thread about it if you feel the need to make ignorant statements like that rather than jack this one. That's all. And yes there is a need to be aggressive....its people like that that are ruining our country and that upsets me!

Yeah!!! We should give the cops big black dildos for their belts instead of guns!

Totally ignorant. I suppose if we ban guns the criminals will never get them, right? The USA is based on freedom and the right to do practically whatever the **** you want with out some ******* telling you what you can or can't do. If you don't like guns, DON'T OWN ONE. But do NOT go trying to keep other law abiding citizens from owning them. The same principle goes with a Phantom. Some ******* could use it to be a peeping-tom or fly it over an airport causing a plane to crash. Does that mean that we should punish the law abiding owners and ban UAVs completely and no-one should have them except the government? NO!!

**** Norway. lol. I don't know what Norway gun laws are like... I've heard the Swiss have a very pro-gun attitude. Maybe I'll move there. lol
