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.

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.
Supporters acknowledge the licenses would be only symbolic, and a town
election authorizing them is more than a month away. Still, about 1,000
people have applied for one.

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.]<http://fellowshipofminds.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/drone-hunting.jpg>

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.

1,000 applicants for its proposed licenses to ‘hunt’ unmanned surveillance

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.
