Watched a guy at our cabin hunt out of a pontoon boat. He pretended to be fishing, did nothing to conceal himself and would pull out his gun when ducks flew nearby. He was within a certain number of feet from the shore but he was still illegal in WI. He sure had a good time.

Never said they can't. All I said is that flying a drone over a WMA or other designated places is not illegal. Local government does not control the airspace. FAA controls it. There are many apps available that show where it is legal to fly and where it isn't. The DJI drones have built in...

Airspace is controlled by the FAA. State law cannot override this. I've owned drones for many years and this subject comes up all the time. Especially around National Parks where signs are posted everywhere about flying a drone inside the park. They word the signs very carefully to scare...

Got it. Still legal to fly a drone while hunting if you don't do any of what you list. I hate rules/regs like this. To be breaking any of them they would have to prove intent. Like the pic I posted earlier, I just wanted to see how my boat fit in and what the ducks see flying overhead. That...

Checking out my boat to see how it looks from the ducks vantage point.

I beieve this is incorrect. You can be hunting and flying a drone to scout. You cannot rally ducks with the drone however. At leat in MN, where absolutely nothing is allowed, you can do this.

I'd be interested to see if this is enforceable. The FAA controls all airspzce and for other entities to restrict flying is unlawful. There are many rules. It is very legal to stand on public ground and fly over ares that say you can't fly there. Launching and retrieving from publis spaces...

There are different kinds of tests to be a drone pilot. The FAA requires you take a very simple test, very simple. It is called the TRUST test. The FAA also requires you to register a drone over a certain weight. I: think it is 500 grams (or is it 250 Grams. The DJI Min 3,4 and whatver the...

Looked t the site. I had not considered skin on frame units. The one you metion still weighs 60lbs. I'm shooting for no more than 45 lbs. Mark

No dog, just me. Many times I am already pulling through snow or over ice. Snow is too much, I ce is a breeze if it is there. Mark

Flip over shelters for me. ONe for solo fishing, one for fishing with a buddy. After this weekend go check out the Clam page. They are showing their new items this weekend at the Ice Fishing show. Will be curios what you think of their new idea.

This I understand all too well. Some days I am up for a battle and many days I am not. Medicare screwed up a $180 claim and I don't know if I have the energy nor time to try and get that back. Yes, it can be a PITA. Spent days with TMobile over many mistakes they made on our account. Was...

I have some medical issues that might make it harder for me than you? I have a kayak cart. More than one actually. To get the boat out of the bed I have to get it out and then assemble the kayak cart. I then have to get the Hoefgen on the cart solo which is a pain. Then have to strap it...

Do you have any idea on what it weighs?
