No hunting with drones!

"SALEM -- Lawmakers in the state House voted unanimously Wednesday to outlaw the use of drones for hunting or fishing in Oregon.
Though there's no evidence that Oregon hunters or anglers have been using drones, the bill's proponents said it's happened elsewhere.
'Drones have no place in sport hunting, fishing or trapping," said Rep. Brad Witt, a Democrat from Clatskanie who sponsored the bill. "They are simply antithetical to the principle of fair chase and fair catch.'"

I  never knew this was a problem.  If legislators are going to spend their days thinking up what NOT to do with drones, they are going to be very busy.
