I couldn't find the regulation that allows hunters to hunt from an airplane, please find the regulation that permits it:
The FAA prohibits what's proposed by Sarah - that caps the issue, by itself.
In Alaskan history, many of the 'seasonal' aircraft crashes are from what's termed the "moose stall." A stupid pilot spots a moose, then circles it, oblivious to the fact that the aircraft is flying too low, down-wind, with a visual speed (groundspeed) far more than the actual airspeed, required to keep the aircraft from stalling. Even with quick reflexes, the aircraft ends up stalling and impacting the ground, before achieving functional flying airspeed. Even with the "stall warning" going off, pilots get so mentally and visually focused on the moose, that they don't hear it - so report a handful of surviving pilots & their passengers.
So, Sarah now wants to invent the "wolf stall." (And McCain wonders what went wrong.)
