  • Ok so in march my father and I went on a trip down to florida. We went for a alligator hunt and we took a truck around these vegetable dikes to hunt. Our guide said, "look 2 coyotes." He then realized they were Panthers or mountain lions. I had my drone to take videos of the vacation and I got it fired up and flew high over them. I went low with the big cats in the middle of us in the truck and the drone. I started to move the drone towards them and they began to run and they ran about 10 yards from the truck. What an amazing opportunity since their are only 200 in the state

    Excellent footage. And to the people worried about the animals' state of mind, the entire video is less than two and a half minutes long, so they really didn't bother the panthers very much at all.

      this is exactly why drones are illegal to have while hunting in many states;you can run animals with them.They have their place but not on a hunt,I do not object to scouting with a drone but on a hunt it is highly unethical and in some states they could confiscate you car,drone and anything you have on the hunt.
