(d) From or by means, aid, or use of any motor vehicle, motor-driven land conveyance, or aircraft of any kind . . . (h) By means or aid of any motor-driven land, water, or air conveyance, or any sailboat used for the purpose of or resulting in the concentrating, driving, rallying, or stirring up of any migratory bird;

Section (h) is understandable and fairly straight forward.

However, section (d) appears to leaves plenty room for interpretation, albeit seemingly ridiculous to say that flying over a property to see if there are ducks there to hunt tomorrow is illegal. Along those lines, it could be illegal to use a tractor to disk and plant (by aid/use of motor vehicle) – where’s the difference in the day before or two months before?

I’d have to politely tell the game warden to tell it to the judge if I got a ticket for flying a plane/drone the day before, not that I have a plane or a drone anyway.

And in case anyone is wondering, “Crows shall not be hunted from aircraft”, but it might be fun to try.

If you thought those bouncers in there couldn't move, don't be fooled. They apparently frown on that kind of behavior and were running around like a Chinese fire drill.
