Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Using a DRONE to help hunt PIGS

Agreed. At least you can pit roast the pig.

With the problems feral hogs cause Im not too concerned with being sporting about eradicating them or mosquitoes. The preferred method seems to be building a huge trap to catch the entire sounder and then exterminating the bunch.

I could see using the drone to herd a bunch into a big pasture upwind of a bunch of shooters and letting war commence.

I actually doubt the guys were really trespassing and more likely acting like a bunch of badasses for literary effect.

My main problem is they cant hunt or kill hogs worth a chitt.

They will not. Jammers are illegal. You can not broadcast any signal to jam any other signal, or the FCC will decend on you like a ton of bricks. you can block a signal with shielding, but even hospitals are forbidden to jam. (And some have been caught doing so.)

Besides, jamming the higher end models does no good, they have GPS and return to launch position if they lose signal.

Heard on the news this morning that a drone was used in a prison break, was just coming in and didn't catch where or how it was involved but I think it said it was used in bringing in a weapon... and it did say at the end that there is a definite need for the ability to jamb radio and phone signals at prisons... Not to be funny but it you look at the title of this thread and the old slang for officers... could really be an upcoming and serious problem!

We are "probably"not supposed to be here cuts the lie of trespassing.Ha, they knew the lay of land and that gates were free to be easily and quickly opened, exactly how they were secured and that there were no armadillo or badger holes where they were hauling ass across pasture.
Wanna-be badasses pretending to be more.

Drones have been caught delivering drugs into prisons as well.

Wanna be internet badasses trying to build a redneck following, using guns and trying to hunt and arent as dumb as Jell0, La GG, Stargazer or dimocraps cant be all bad or stupid enough to post internet proof of their supposed trespassing on property easily recognizable that could lead to their prosecution? No way.

Fess up redheadedmexican.

Thanks all for the eye-opener RE: freq jammers. That's too bad really...b/c it's pretty much the drone operators who are getting the "innocent til proven guilty" treatment, where those who are being "observed" are sort of defenseless - short of using firearms to stop the drone's annoying/trespassing presence.


This example, if nothing else, should evoke some thought toward being able to interrupt the flight of these things... so today it's drugs to prisons/inmates - are weapons next? Instead of "mechanically dropping" a package of drugs, a weapon is held in place by an electro-magnet which can remotely have the current interrupted and the weapon drops to the inmate...

Yeah, these frequency jamming devices need to become more easily obtained as well as more effectively concealed. Phouchk the FCC - something needs to be done on this....

Mark my words, a drone will be used to herd trophy bull elk of an Apache Res in Arizona. It has probably happened in unit 23.

Well, even if they weren't trespassing, it's still a gay ass video and some lame ass "hunters"...

I'm a tech level ham, as well as a college trained broadcaster. I have to know this stuff. You can say phuchk the FCC (barely) but YOU DON'T set those rules, and it doesn't take more than 2 receivers to pinpoint an illegal signal. Hams will turn you in, the FED'S will prosecute you, and the courts will bury you. You don't mess with the FCC, EVER.

Then there's the technical aspect to jamming - the spread spectrum radio systems used by modern RC aircraft are BY DESIGN hardened against interference. Think of a field full of RC pilots all using the same frequency- chaos results if there's unintentional cross-traffic. The RC radio systems of today essentially prevent that.
