In the briefing I received for a 300 NM flight I made over Thanksgiving, there were no fewer than 13 (count 'em!) NOTAMs for unmanned aerial vehicles along the way. The list seems to be getting longer by the month.

With the inevitable increase in drone traffic, I sure hope they plan to have ADS-B out capability.

Not only "drone-hunting" but also "hunting with drones" may occur. Spot the prey and herd it towards you. States can write laws pretty fast to outlaw this kind of thing though. Anyone have a list of strange potential uses for UAVs?
Drop supplies accurately to stranded hikers/climbers/crash survivors.
Faster finding with camera-inspection of downed aircraft via ELT or EPIRB or Personal Locater beacon homing.
Virtual trips to nude beaches

There are already many toy or hobby UAVs available to the average consumer such as: http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-2-vision/, which has a range of about 300 m (almost 1000 feet).

good guys, 'n bad guys
and then there's the 'other' guys.....
around here, I hate to say, certain people will be hiring high-skool kids to fly these over all of their multiple mountainside grow ops to provide security...and then they can dispatch an interdiction team should they see their crop being disturbed, or law enforcement getting too close.
...and you can bet you won't get a NOTAM about those!..nor will they be follwing the 'rules'.

RV is the Best drone Defense
I suggest to climb fast and fly high. All the civilian drones will will be below you.

Bad, bad idea completely.
The phrase, "What could possibly go wrong?" is all over this thing.
