Sorry, but you clearly wrote that you had bought an ASAT suit, so the pics confused me. I also have a leafy suit in a realtree pattern, you couldn't mistake it for ASAT either. BTW,I took the opportunity to UV test my ASAT with both UVA and UVB lights last night, zero reflection from either. 😎 medic didn't post the pics of the non-ASAT suit, wesb did, stating it was the Arcturus suit.

I guess I just don't share the same "doomsday" technology-is-ruining-everything mentality. There will be incidences, no doubt, but I don't think it will become a huge issue.

The only time I could see using one during the hunting season would be to assist in locating/recovering a shot deer that a hunter is having a hard time finding....but even then I could see that getting abused by a not so ethical hunter I've said for years that scouting cameras (and especially real time cameras) should be banned for use during the hunting season(s). Will that ever happen? No, (and it would be almost unenforceable if it were to happen), but "real time" cameras (whether hung on a tree or flying via a drone) have not only taken much of the "hunt" out of hunting but violate the spirit of fair chase hunting IMO. The cost of each of those items is high enough that I think there are not enough of them out in the field to worry about someone shooting a deer you may have taken otherwise using said items. To each their own how they want to hunt. If a person finds enjoyment using technology and they're using it within the law, good for them and I wish them good luck.

I have a feeling that drone usage is going to end up being a bigger issue than many people think. You have to wonder how long it will take for someone to get p*ssed off @ their neighbor for ignoring the property lines and "scouting" the neighboring properties with a drone? I would imagine that more than one drone will be shot out of the sky this year. And during the hunting season, I won't be surprised to read about anti-hunters (or people who don't want their neighbors killing "their" buck) flying drones over or "near" neighboring properties to deliberately try and chase the deer off. Finally....when does technology present an unfair advantage and violate the rules of fair chase? People run cameras 24/7/365 and only have to go into the woods to replace batteries as the cameras are accessible from their phones and computers. Now we're going to "scout" deer from the air? There are already anti-harassment laws and scaring off deer with a drone would fall within that, especially if it is on private property. There is a new law this year that makes it illegal to use a drone to aid in hunting. As I said, I don't hunt this property where I took this video, it was a friend's farm.

I'd like to have one just to fly it around. I use to have a couple helicopters and they were lots of fun. I'd probably just use mine to replace my selfie stick. They are really easy to fly and very fun!

A little caution on your new found scouting tool. I would hate to see them banned because of misuse. Is there any rules in place for the scouting/hunting use of drones? Just like any tool the use possibilities are wide open, but they can & will be misused by those with less hunting ability. I think that if you use them while hunting to move/heard deer is not proper use. Or if you scout someone others hunting property (without permission)to gain knowledge of any larger deer would be wrong. Like previously stated, yes, there is an Indiana law described in the guide: "In other legislative action, state law now prohibits the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (i.e., drones) to search for, scout, locate, or detect a wild animal as an aid to taking that animal during the hunting season, and for 14 days prior to the hunting season for that animal." This video I took was in Kentucky, where there are no such laws. Even if I were in Indiana, we are still many days away from being 14 days out. Now, there is some interpretation included in that law, where it seems like you can legally fly during season if you are not going to actively hunt that animal.

There is a large bean field next to our campground on the Ohio River in Milton, KY. I see deer in the beans just about every evening and morning, but was able to finally see how they would react to my drone flying over them. I have seen upwards to 20 deer at a time feeding in this field, but only 3 this evening.
The drone is fairly loud, so I'm sure the deer can hear it from 100+ yards away, but it seems like if high enough, they don't really care about it. You'll see if it gets low enough, they don't appreciate the buzzing, haha.

If you're seriously interested in one, let me know, I can hook you up with the owner and get one well below the listed MSRP.

Hmmm well that works. My husband has been wanting to hunt with his 30-30 for years. Now he just has to talk pops into it. He doesn't want people using high power rifles because he says there isn't enough backstop if someone misses a shot. The ground will stop rifle rounds really well ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) especially when shooting from a treestand.

All the cartridges in that list fire either a .243 or .308 caliber bullet, so they are all legal. Of course the cartridges that were already legal, such as .44 mag and .358 Hoosier, are still legal as well. Yea I'm on my phone and clicked quote as it moved down. I had ment a list I saw saying 30-30 was legal. But from what I now understand they messed it up again and ended up only adding .243 and .308 30-30 is legal. There is a decent list of legal rounds on the DNR's website: www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/7389.htmClick on "Equipment" tab. This is what it reads:

I'm not understanding this. How is everything in this list legal when the new reg reads Nothing less than .243 nothing greater than .308 and nothing in between. So if I'm reading right they basically just added .243 and .308 to the legal list. What happened was the bill was meant to only allow 5 specific rounds, but poor wording left it open to anything with a .243 (6mm) or .308 (7.62mm) bullet.

Must not be looking in right spot, 16/17 is online. Scroll up and click on the hunting guide that is at the top of the thread. It's right next to the fishing guide. That is the 2016 one. Gotcha, thanks. Don't know why they would have it available online but not update the webpage to access it.
