OK.
First off it's perfectly legal to scout game from an aircraft! What is illegal is to do it with in 72 hours of hunting 24 in some states. If in fact the USO boys were relaying elk positions to active hunters on the ground then yes they deserve to fry. I need all the facts before I go off the deep end.

If they were issuing positions to hunters that were not yet hunting as in 72 hours before the hunt well that's a different story. Sorry guys but I have a healthy distrust of the US Fish and Feathers.

Agent Smith who do you work for?
