Perhaps this belongs in the hunting section, could go in legal, or might not be permissible at all... if so, my apologies to the mods but there are quite a few ramifications here about gun use that bother me. I did a search and didn't find anything already posted about this...
Town Considers Drone Hunting
There's a little more about the town itself.
Destroying federal property aside, what kind of ammunition can be safely shot into the air without possible consequences for innocent folks underneath? In archery we use flu flu arrows to control ascent, but can't possibly imagine this is a good idea with rifles.
And how can a shooter possibly know if a drone is federal property or someone's RC model?
Personally, I hope this doesn't "take flight." I think it's a black eye for gun owners.
Town Considers Drone Hunting
Deer Trail, Colorado, is expected to vote August 6, on an ordinance that would sell hunting licenses and provide rewards to its citizens for destroying federal property if it appears overhead in the form of an unmanned aerial drone. The ordinance was drafted by town resident, Phillip Steel. It states that Deer Trail will offer $100 rewards to shooters licensed (at the cost of $25) if they produce specific identifiable parts from an unmanned aerial vehicle "known to be owned or operated by the United States federal government." There may be some complications due to the fact that it's against the law to destroy federal property.
Federal law aside, the proposed ordinance offers outlines for weaponry, ammunition, hunting techniques and rules of engagement. According to a local ABC news affiliate, Steel has never seen a drone flying over his town. However, he does not believe "in the idea of a surveillance society" and "I believe we are heading that way,"
