Is there a quad 50 I could install to scare away drones?

I am not certain she actually fired the gun.

The drone operator strikes me as a Peeping Tom. I’m okay with her shooting him in the drone . . . or anywhere else.

A 12 gauge with #4 or larger shot should do nicely.

I think she knew who owns the drone.Take the direct approach and go to his house.Kick his ass until it’s up around his eye brows.

If it is illegal to use a firearm in the city for such purposes, could she legally use a slingshot?

If it was one of the typical hobby drones, #6 shot would do fine at the distances shown. My dad’s old Remington Model 1100 with the 30” full choke barrel would take one down.

Apparently, the drone-owner sold the film to the Daily Mail. The lady on the deck should be meeting with her attorney.

Electronic jamming is the way to go, though blasting the sucker is more satisfying.

I was camped out on federal land in 1975. It was near the saguaro national forest. A beautiful hawk landed atop a 40 ft saguaro cactus it had leather strip things on its legs. We watched in awe for 10 minutes when a guy pulls up gets out and yells “don’t shoot my hawk.....please”. As no one had guns out it was just a concerned falconer who assumed the worst. We had a few words with the guy. Nice guy. Eventually he put his arm out and the bird dropped down off the cactus and on his arm. Way cool.

Was there an adjustable zoom lens on the drone camera? If so it might not be as close as it looks.

...you’d be surprised to learn..IT takes years to become a falconer..
I’ll be returning to work in a few weeks....I mow fairways at a local golf course. I’ve gotten to know some redtail hawks...and they me *smiles*

“typical hobby drones”
Am I wrong in thinking the operators of such drones must be close by? In other words, I’m thinking you need to keep the thing in eyesight to maintain control.

If birds attack drones and are injured in the process... how is that not endangering birds?
If drones are being flown in parks or at a refuge wouldn’t that be considered endangerment as well? In an area that hunting fowl is prohibited?
