And no drones can not be flown out here over private property without permission from the land owner Only the Federal Government possibly State level can get away with that. The county voted not to fly theirs over private property unless in pursuit of,or for the investigation of suspected criminal activity. But I don't think their Remote piloted aircraft are as sophisticated as some of the ones the Hunters from the Cities own.

Yes, they can, Frank. The FAA controls all airspace in the U.S., and just as planes are allowed to fly over your property, UAVs are, too. And if you attempt to disable, jam, or otherwise interfere with a UAV's operation, you'll be at risk of federal charges. Harassment via UAV is an entirely different thing. You can file a noise, or a nuisance, or a peeping Tom complaint for that (you still can't shoot them down). Otherwise, they can go where they want as long as they follow other FAA flight rules.

It's the other flight rules that get them. the FAA cooperates with state and local authorities. with the terms No Drone zones and TFR temporary flight restrictions
Texas parks and wildlife does not allow the use of drones or any other aircraft for the following, hunt, drive, capture, take, count or photograph any wildlife without special permit.

Permits required from our department are an Aerial Management Permit (AMP) and a Land Owner Authorization (LOA). Department rules are adopted under the framework and guidelines of the Federal Airborne Hunting Act.

Under federal law it is a violation to use an aircraft for any of these activities unless a permit is issued by the respective state. Federal guidelines specify the states may only issue these permits for the management of wildlife such as Trap Transport and Transplant (TTT) or depredation species and certain predator species. At no time would recreational or sport hunting be lawful and violation of these rules is a Parks And Wildlife Class A misdemeanor and under certain instances a Federal Lacy Act Violation.

But try and tell a rancher that he can't shoot down the drone and you might find out he owns a back hoe
