Thursday when I came out of Cabelas, I got into my Toyota and sipped some coffee I had left in the cup holder.
I see a small white thing moving R to L, West, not that high.
It’s silhouetted against some dark clouds.
Grab the binoculars for a better look.
Yeah, it’s a small flying thingie. Too far away to get a definite description.
Follow it for about 40-50 degrees of travel. It goes behind some trees and I don’t see it reappear.
So - did one of you guys take down?
It must have somewhere!

If your into nature photography drones are most great. You can get pictures not possible with regular cameras.
The first picture is of a park a couple miles from me, I've gone there for years and had no clue it was so close to the ocean.
Most people that own them aren't using them in illegal ways.

That's the same thing with firearms, but there are people & groups trying to take them away also!

I love going exploring with an FPV fixed wing twin.

I think I'd use birdshot...
I'd use the smallest shot that can break plastic at the range I'm likely to shoot. Probably #7 1/2 at 50-80 yards.

From the linked article...
Federal Regulations Regarding Shooting Down a Drone
According to the FAA's report on Unmanned Aircraft Systems, shooting down a drone is a federal crime under United States Code Title 18 Section 32, which describes the destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities as a felony.
