Forget rabbit, duck season — it's drone season for hunters in Colorado town

Supporters acknowledge the licenses would be only a symbolic stance against government surveillance, and a Deer Trail, Colo., election authorizing them is still a month away. Yet about 1,000 people have applied for one.

The drone hunting license sold by Phil Steel of Droneshooters.com for use in Deer Trail, Colo., may just be a novelty, but a thousand people have applied to get one.
DENVER — Hunters in Colorado are lining up for a hot new license: $25 to shoot down a government drone over the village of Deer Trail.

Anti-surveillance activist Phil Steel started an initiative in his Colorado village of Deer Trail to give hunters licenses to shoot down government drones. For some, the town’s vote on the matter, set for October, is a tongue-in-cheek effort to raise money on hunting licenses while also making a political statement about government surveillance.

The scheme is part protest against government surveillance and part promotion to get Deer Trail some attention. It’s working, at least on the second point. The federal government issued a warning against shooting at drones.

Deer Trail, Colo., has a population of just 500, but has seen 1,000 applicants for its proposed licenses to ‘hunt’ unmanned surveillance drones like this one. The novelty license promises a $100 ‘bounty’ to shooters who bring in debris from an unmanned aircraft ‘known to be owned or operated by the United States federal government.’

Phil Steel, who proposed the licenses, is selling novelty versions. Officials say he’s given part of the income to the town.

This guys really smart. I was wondering what people were wanting to buy. I think I might try that in my neck of the woods.

I'm really surprised that so it seems there haven't been any "mysterious" plane crashes of, you know, the kind that spray chemicals in the sky all day and night...
