Deer Trail Mayor Franks Fields displays proper drone-hunting technique. (Amanda Kost, 7NEWS)
Not sure if this says more about public perceptions of drones or about Colorado, but FWIW:
Deer Trail's town board will vote Aug. 6 on an ordinance that would create drone-hunting licenses and offer $100 bounties for unmanned aerial vehicles.
"We do not want drones in town," said Phillip Steel, the resident who drafted the ordinance. "They fly in town, they get shot down."
Even though it's against the law to destroy federal property, Steel's proposed ordinance outlines weapons, ammunition, rules of engagement, techniques and bounties for drone hunting.
Drone-hunting licenses would be issued without a background investigation and on an anonymous basis. Applicants would have to be at least 21 years old and be able to "read and understand English."
(Thanks, Eric)

That whole stuff is so rediculous that even my last post seems to be on topic. Even the FAA has a clear (and lame and normal) sight of that subject like posted by Thomas Coyle the third. I feel very sorry for that deerpath city that their last event was in 1869. And I am very happy and thankful that I learned that the rodeo was invented there!! I wouldn't have known any other way - no joke here - it really broadened my horizon. One fine day I will probably drive over there and fly my old gaui 330 there (and even attach a cam to it so that it could be called something like a drone) and urge the mayor there to shoot it down for free so that city gets something else than 19th century stuff going on. Chances are that they would shoot me instead of the drone for some stupid German word on my lips for being a suspected member of the German Kaiserreich that lasted from 1871 till 1918 (that nazi stuff was later - and my family suffered a lot of that - but no politics here....).
- Some gametitle could be "It came from above" like the old amiga title "It came from the desert"
If you make it a game, make sure there are small people on the ground trying to take you out as you do your data collection. The boss can be the mayor who comes out with his sherrif and reads you their town mandates.
Great work oliver!!
I think the trophy wall will look like this now:
Oliver...that looks like a video game. Call it, Drone Control or something. Played similar to the flight control games. I have also thought an 8bit rehash of Duck Hunt called Drone Hunt. And, of course, any variations on the Cabella's Big Game series of games.
What about those whacky New Zealanders across from you, Darrell? I have often thought NZ would be a lovely place to live.
They appear to be using a free hosting site, hence the ads.
actually, they have banned it from their town as per Ordinance No. 248 - Prohibition of Medical Marijuana Commercial and Business Activities.
They also seem to have made curfews for kids under 18 to stay out later than 12 midnight.
Their town homepage is full of ads. What kind of people are running this place?!
Oliver...I am in stitches! BWAHAHA...Way to show me up with your mad skills in photo editing.
Helistorm: I really like your trophy pic. But that would be a real trophy: http://images.derstandard.at/t/12/2009/10/08/1254338201475.jpg. Or a drone that is actually capable of shooting back if shot upon. So Mr. "Deer Fart City" might get an unexpected - heat seeking - laser guided - reply from above worth more than 100$. Brainseeking missiles will be harmless for him - that's for sure.
Cheers Kraut Rob
