Gamo Whisper Soft......
Nosy, spying neighbors with too much extra income. Can buy them off the internet for about $500
I would shoot it in a heartbeat....deal with the nosy neighbor and consequences later.
DJI technology empowers us to see the future of possible. Learn about our consumer drones like DJI Mavic 3 Pro, DJI Mini 4 Pro, DJI Air 3. Handheld products like Osmo Action 4 and Pocket 2 capture smooth photo and video. Our Ronin camera stabilizers and Inspire drones are professional cinematography tools.Last edited by wellingtontx; 05-14-2014, 11:19 AM.

I think fluorocarbon fishing line tied into a net in the general air space you've seen it travel would be more effective. Stuff is very hard to see in sunlight and I'm sure would wrap up in a propeller very effectively. Then you didn't shoot it down you were just bored and experimenting with fishing line.

Didn't know we "owned" airspace. If that's the case, can we shoot down an airplane or helicopter that flys over our property? My guess is no.
Pretty sure if you wanted to fly over a land owners property in a helicopter to do a "deer count" you have to have their permission. Why would a drone be any different?

Was informed that shooting one down is criminal mischief and the charge would be Criminal Mischief and the degree would be based off the price of the drone. Advice is to use binos and get FFA # off the drone and call local LE. It was advised to call local LE first time it was observed and make the report and then look for the # and pursue criminal charges against the drone owner. The camera may be there only to drive or operate the drone.
Wish the answer was take buckshot to the drone. It makes me very mad. My personal thought is I paid alot of money for my property and privacy and the operation of a low flying craft over said property is a violation of my privacy and trespassing.
