Two helicopters have been seized by the police within the last six months, do you think they do this for fun? It is very profitable, two deer shot an hour will pay the operating costs of a machine, ten animals an hour is common. Unfortunately poaching is becoming a serious problem. Angry land owners are stringing up wires between valleys as helicopter traps and the government is considering banning ferral venison export. Usual story the few breaking the law may ruin it for the legitimate operators. With regard to "subtly" - simple they just mask up the registration, and keep an eye out for farmers with guns and camcorders.
