Drones pose special threat to outdoors ethics [View all]

Imagine somewhere in Wisconsin:

A man wakes in a cabin and begins the day by firing up his favorite new accessory — a drone.

He uses a smartphone to fly the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle over nearby woods and fields, searching for a trophy white-tailed deer.

A camera mounted on the UAV sends live images to the smartphone.

Once he locates the buck he wants, he grabs his rifle and, using the smartphone to monitor the live image from the hovering drone, stalks into position for a shot.
