Quit Buzzing My Deer!
I have had hunts ruined by other hunters,dogs,coyotes cats,hikers,people horseback riding,four wheelers and by my own B.O. But tonight was a first for me. It was the best time of the evening and the deer began to come out into the bean field when I here what I thought was a low flying plane. The deer looked up as I did to see a motorized parasail buzzing them,well they did not like that and back into the thickets they went. Anyone ever had that happen to you? Now if I had been in that flying machine and saw deer in the field I would have done the same thing,so I will get over it this time. If he does it again he might see a sidewinder arrow buzz him back! Just kidding,I would not do that but the thought passed rough my mind.

This is what I think will happen next,the drug guys flying around looking for pot plants which I have seen a couple of times while in the state forest. A huey doing a dust off would sure put the deer in a panic.

Probably not looking for Marijuana plants. Most likely you've made it down into the 30's or lower 40's by now and they have all died and can't really be seen. I hunted an area in Kansas that was littered with Pot growing everywhere. Once it gets near a good frost it all dies and the DEA doesn't care at that point because its dead and no one will be picking it. Probably a hobby guy flying.

Motorized parasail!!!! LMAO! That would have sucked, but I would have had to laugh! Never seen that before, but I'm like you, would have probably done it myself. Haha! Well, good luck with the rest of your season.

Pretty bold statement I take it you are a DEA agent?... Any LEO knows that if a plant is standing it must should be cut down (regardless of State, local, or federal)... We are mandated if we see it to cut it down. Eliminates the possibility of it being used for any purpose; 99.9% of the time it is your standard run of the mill ditchweed, but regardless drug interdiction is a DEA job, I believe any who care about their job would cut it down.

"I used to smoke pot and we always smoked the leaves." L O L
Anyways, I doubt the DEA is cruising the countryside in ultralites, probably just a hobbyist.
I hunt a National Guard site in Illinois, and there are several areas off limits to hunting. One year they warned us that the Guard would be monitoring the hunt by helicopter. Sure enough, I had a Blackhawk fly over me low. Didn't see anything for the rest of the afternoon, but that could have been a coincidence I guess.
