"Seconds after it hit the air, numerous shots rang out," Hindi said in the release. "As an act of revenge for us shutting down the pigeon slaughter, they had shot down our copter."I love feel good stories like this.

You fly yer plane into an area with live active aerial target shooting going on and you're shocked when shot down?

I love reading the comments following articles such as this, they're so revealing of the true facts.
Evidently the leader of SHARK was lying thru his teeth........

Of theoretical interest: under the common law the owner of the underlying land also owns the air space above the land. Thus, we may have the owner shooting down a trespasser! Just thought I'd have some fun.

I would hope so but if you can’t shoot a spy-drone over your property with a gun— I would purchase the most uber billy bad-a** power washer available... OOPS!

"It is important to note how dangerous this was, as they were shooting toward and into a well-travelled highway," Hindi stated in the release. It is important to note that the velocity of bird-shot dissipates to raindrop speeds within one hundred yards.

It's not really theoretical. Way back when USSC ruled that the federal government could regulate the otherwise unused airspace above your property to allow military and commercial aircraft.
That way you couldn't run out and sue them for trespassing in your space (which you still own ~ like if you stuck a mountain there you'd get it all back eh).
At the same time the federales only get to regulate that airspace if they do, in fact, regulate it.
There have to be some rules around about these little unmanned aircraft ~ and the crowd flying it probably didn't bother finding them.
I'd say that it was just another UFO shot down out in the woods.

I've been to Broxton Bridge Plantation, many years ago. They had a great sporting clays course there, probably still do.
At that time, the owner took a number of us on a short hike down to the Little Salkehatchie river, where many years ago the road from Savannah crossed, and where the Confederates built earthwork fortifications to oppose Sherman's army. The earthworks are still there, but all overgrown with trees now.
What a place — history all around, along with the sights and sounds of the Low Country. Well worth a visit, even if you don't get to plink at a trespassing UAV....
