I don't get it. December and most of January is duck hunting season in the whole state. I live in Arkansas now, but unless I miss my guess, there are probably 1,000 duck licenses out in Pequannock and Riverdale alone. Birdshot is hell on plastic propellers. Can somebody explain to me why somebody hasn't "missed" a duck and "accidentally" bagged one of those drones yet?

I can guarantee that if they were flying around central AZ, they wouldn’t be flying for long. In a gun hating state like NJ, I would get a t-shirt cannon and throw a gill-net (gill fishing net) with some weights on it. That would propel it up enough to tangle the props and bring down the drone.

I lived there for over 30 years. Typical gun-hating blue state, yes, but every golf course in it needs a "Watch Out for Goose S#it" sign. They'd be overrun if they tried for one minute to ban hunting. Up in the Pequannock area, I guarantee you there are plenty of hunting licenses and plenty of birdshot. It should be drone season, but somebody is plainly falling down on the job.

Maybe the drones just aren't flying around where the hunters are? Like that's not what they are spying on...
