You carry many things. Now you also carry a drone.

Was that on a public land or private?

It was on a hunting lease within a few hundred yards of a box blind, what else are you going to use a UAV for in such a location, try telling fish and game you're just recreationally flying around with it.
It doesnt take a seasoned UAV operator to figure that one out, probably went lost comm or the battery died too far out to locate and recover. |

It a DJI Flamewheel 450. worth about $300 or more depending on what is on it at the moment. It probably has a NAZA controller on it as well. They are notorious for fly-aways. (Google it) It can fly 15-20 minutes at 25+ miles per hour. The units are serial numbered and registered to the owner so they can be found and would most likely pay a reward to get it back. If not i'll take it off your hands.
 I had a buddy lose one in Alabama 1.5 years ago just like that one.

Quoted:Whilst doing some pig scouting I walked up on this. Well you lucky thing. All I ever run across are skads of those danged foil balloons people let loose in Charlotte. They have enough gas to end up at our hunt club on the prevailing winds. Even found one with a note on it to call some elementary school class. I called and told'em where it ended up and "Thanks for the garbage".   d:^) Jake..

Spotting and hearding might be tough to explain your way out of in court, it'd be like showing up at the processing station with a dead dead at first light with a PVS-14 on your head......try convincing a Fish and game officer not to start an investigation. |

There is nothing illegal (or immoral) about using drones to spot or herd hogs on private property in Florida.
They are not considered game on private property. |

Herding waterfowl with one would be a major bust.

Your going to run into issues with deer is the big thing to remember, hogs and deer are never far from eachother, private property or not, herding deer in the state of FL is a no go, even if you didnt set out to do it. Ive talked at length with FL FWC about this, they do not play around and will ticket you. |

Been using one to spot game, as well as trespassers for years. Don't assume it is illegal because you do not do it. Get this, we even use helicopters to count game, and shoot them.

If it was a fly away loss it could have started out miles away. I've kicked around the idea to get a drone just to play with flying over fields and woods out where I live. I certainly don't plan to try and 'herd' anything with it. |

Probably a "flyaway" someone lost control and it continued until battery died. Report it to local law enforcement or FAA. It is an aircraft and it is supposed to be registered.

Take a photo of the electronics on board, you might be able to figure out the flight path depending on what flight control module was being used.

In for the outcome. Hope it was a fly away whose owner can be found and can repair it.

I marked the downed birds location and its a pretty easy walk through the swamp on TNVC's hunting lease, later on we ended up jumping a decent sized boar and my roommate clocked him right in the head from 20 yards with a 5.56 round..........the tank shook it off and ran, never did find him, probably still alive for all we know, but thats what i get when my 300blk is in the shop and i dont want to deal with the weight of a .308. Lessons learned. |

when youre shooting at hogs generally at 40 yards or less where i was scouting a 17 is still bulky, and with an atrocious trigger to boot. I love a modified Scar-H though and wouldn't mind owning one.

Can't say about the trigger. Had a Geissele installed at the time of purchase and never tried the factory offering.
But yeah, I could see a "handy" l'il BLK being a good thing at those distances.
