Denver Post – by Yesenia Robles
The town of Deer Trail has rescheduled the special election during which voters will decide whether the town should sell licenses to hunt drones.
The town board of six was evenly split on the ordinance when it took up the issue in August, so it forwarded the decision to voters.
Originally, the election was scheduled for Tuesday, but it was moved because the date was too close to the Nov. 5 general election, Mayor Frank Fields said.
The election is now scheduled for Dec. 10.
The ordinance, which was first introduced by a resident after media reports about increased government surveillance using unmanned aircraft, would require the town to issue $25 licenses to any applicant able to read and understand English.
The ordinance includes rules, including limiting shooting to daylight hours and allowing shooting only of unmanned aerial vehicles flying lower than 1,000 feet over private property.

Another money making scheme.
Pitiful.
