Google glasses should scare you guys more then drones. With the glasses anyone can tape anything at anytime. Then the next advancement will be contact lenses that do the same thing as google glasses but no one can see them.

In order to KEEP things fair, we first need to MAKE things fair. Currently, the corporatocracy has a major advantage.

OK, we'll build rocket launchers with a 12 guage shot-gun and a copy of our hunting license attached. Got to keep this legal and all, you know.































I can't believe that a few people take this seriously.

The government is already doing that and calling it "legal". I say everyone should get a drone and then we could have good old-fashioned WWI style dogfights.

I think Deer Trail should put out a Colorado Drone Cookbook. Suggested recipes:

Drone hot wings

Drone a la king

Standing drone rib roast

Drone tacos

Cream of drone soup

Rocky Mountain Drone-sters (a thrifty way of using up drone fragments)

Also:

Colorado bars and restaurants could have mounted drone fuselages hanging next to the deer and elk racks.

Postcards with pictures of drone-alopes

@ whoisjohngalt - I get first dibs on snoopy!

Drones are not necessary for surveillance.

Our county (not Colorado) has been using satellite images and image software for 10 yrs to issue building and zoning violations. Companies make surveillance drones nearby, so there are many in the air.

Camo netting is my friend. I have LOTS of it as I live in a federally protected SCENIC area and am dictated on colors, size, materials, lighting, planting, cutting of landscape and house. If I so much as repair a window I get a visit, and a mailing and a warning phone call. (They are watching all the time). The 'Greenies' get a 'bounty' to turn us in...

RQ-11, RQ-20, Switchblade... pretty much the any of the man portable versions that are chucked into the air. Fun little guys.

Love how the Raven landed, er, crashed to get back on the ground.

What goes up must come down so while I think the idea of hunting drones is pretty funny I'd hate to be hiking along and find bullets raining down on my head because someone was trying to bag a drone.
