A reminder

6 years ago I proposed hunting season for drones.

A few common-sense rules:

  • An annual license is required, with fees set by the local state, and a bag limit of no more than 5/day.
  • All incidental damages caused by a drone's crash or malfunction are the sole responsibility of the person who launched or was currently controlling the drone, not the hunter.
  • Ownership of the remains of the drone and any contents belong to the hunter, who is responsible for cleaning away the remains.
  • Shooting at military drones is forbidden, and may render the hunter liable to being shot back at in return
  • Shotgun-only using birdshot inside city limits
  • No hunting
    • Within 20 miles of a national boundary or nuclear power plant
    • Within 5 miles of designated drone hobbyist areas
    • Within 5 miles of airport approaches (unless expressly requested by the relevant authorities)

I haven't decided if police drones should be fair game.
