You wont be able to hunt drones in Colorado after all. On April Fools Day, the residents of Deer Trail voted down a proposal to issue official licenses to drone hunters, conceived as a protest against surveillance and a way to draw tourists to the tiny town. According to The Denver Post, 73 percent of the 181 people who cast ballots (the town has roughly 350 registered voters and a population of under 600) opposed the measure, which would have issued licenses to shoot down drones for $25. Deer Trail made the news in mid-2013 when resident Philip Steel proposed offering drone hunting licenses and an up to $100 bounty on federal unmanned aircraft. Steel called the proposal symbolic, but others suggested publicity stunts like drone-themed skeet shooting in order to put Deer Trail on the map.
