PA man convicted of drone hunting.

"Drones" started out as "quad-copters"

Fair enough it is still a shit law! I guess game commissioners have no discretion. One would think that recovering the dead animal would be far more important than letting it waste.

I just want them to recover the dead deer on the road side. Those summer ones really kick up the spicy.
No warning, driving with the windows down and then BAM hit with a stench like the drone down the street.

I*m fortunate in that I*ve never lost a deer that I*ve shot.
That said, I*m seeing a business opportunity here.
I need to invent a firearm that fires air tags.

Air tag inside the bullet...

On a related note, when the fuck did an "RC aircraft" become a "drone" anyway?

When they became capable of doing more than just responding to the controls manipulated by the operator.

Drones, even fairly inexpensive ones have complex systems and controls. They can operate autonomously, automatically avoid obstacles, track a moving subject on the ground, detect manned aircraft that broadcast an ADS-B signal, carry out pre-planned flight patterns, and record and provide to the pilot various telemetry data, both during and after flights.
