Re: PV Antelopes in Wyoming, Is Filming Animals Wrong?
Ditto to Topeeka.
If the Fish and Game Dept was to see this footage, they could possibly fine you for harassing the wildlife. Look it up in the F&G regs for your state. Nearly every state has regs on the books which "could" be a hefty fine.
Unless tied to research, if I were you, I'd remove this before it ends up on the news as it also gives RC pilots a bad name to the animal rights crowd.
Simple observation from a distance is one thing, but pushing a herd with an electronic device can very well lead to a fine, loss of your gear and loss of any hunting previledges plus your face plastered on the state news channels. :shock: It's only a unique viewpoint if your are conducting official wildlife research. I hunt and have shot Antelope and know first hand how fast they run. You are pushing around 50 antelope at top speed for almost a minute and a half. F&G would not take kindly to that and would use this footage to prosecute. I'd remove it if I were you asap.
Antelope do not jump fences. What if your push drove them into a fence-line? You'd be in deep doo doo and probably in jail.
Best advice, don't use it on wildlife.
