I'm just curious, I've been wanting to know this for awhile. Is it legal to have a helicopter and land it several miles into a public piece of land? I mean can you fly a helicopter 15+ miles into the most remote corner of a WMA, then get out set up camp, and hunt that way? Just curious.
I'd say it depends on the state however in mine as far as I know its completely legal as long as the helicopter did not aid you in anyway spotting or guiding other hunters to game. If you simply hauled your camp in and out with it I don't know of any law against it here. The exception would be in a wilderness areas. You cannot fly any aircraft over designated wilderness areas in Utah. Probably the same in other states, but I don't know.
