Can you shoot them in the air or do you have to let them land?

Freezer

I haven't had time to hunt yet this year as I've been spending too much time at work. That said the freezer I getting thin and I need to restock. With my limited time I figure reindeer should taste about the same as white tail. They're an invasive species, I have a very long roof over my house and shed that could make it a chip shot. What are the regulations for controlling this invasive species? Can I drop them from the air?

It's a no go in Califunnia and the other left coast areas of NY and Maryland, etc

You must file an ATF form 12-25 to use a suppressed rifle and wait 12 lunar months to get approval

If I was a betting man I'd say it's illegal in every state unless you have a permit of some sort. My neighbor who put up the high fence told me he was going to kill off the existing deer herd using a helicopter so he could bring in his genetically superior whitetails. He didn't do it said too much red tape getting a permit from the state.

I let them land. Saves having to calculate how much to lead them by.

Got this dark skinned one a couple of years back.........


Got this one about a month ago..........



Most I ever saw together was these three...........but they hadnt grown their racks properly so I gave them a free pass......



This one certainly had a surprised look on his face after I squeezed the trigger on him though...................I think he thought he was untouchable cos he didnt have his full rack

Been thinking about rigging Claymore mines to the chimney. Don't have to spend all night waiting out in the cold, and don't have to spend nearly as long running the meat grinder.
