I've considered buying a drone.  I have 5 acres of my own land, plus80 acres
of farmland behind it and 40 in front I have permission from the neighbors to
walk/ hunt on.  The major airports are over 20 miles away, and even the
smaller private fields are more than 8 miles.  While I have space or access
to it, I'm at the point I have enough hobbies.  I wish these were around when
I was younger.
