Police are investigating an incident at a Berks County hunting club in which someone on the hunting grounds allegedly targeted a mechanical flying object rather than a living and breathing one.
SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK) are in the midst of a campaign against the Wing Pointe commercial hunting grounds in Hamburg, Berks County and its live pigeon shoots in which the birds are shot down. SHARK began to use an “Octocopter,” a remote controlled flying machine with a high tech video camera, to secretly record the pigeon shoots as they happen.
"The pigeon shooters are basically going into hiding," said Steve Hindi, president of SHARK. "So they're using a ring that's up a hill and completely surrounded by trees. So the only way you can get to it is through the air."
The drone, nicknamed “Angel,” was recording a live pigeon shoot on Sunday around 3 p.m. when investigators say ............
There is going to be a lot of “shoot, shovel, and shut-up” over the next few years...
How did the hunters get there?
worm hole?

Ah, but then they couldn’t congratulate themselves on being so clever with this new technology and all.
Thanks for the clarification.
Hopefully, they are getting some of the filthy birds from our city parks, which are overrun with them.
No way we could harvest them and feed them to the homeless...
the left wouldn’t allow that for various reasons.
Get into this R/C model aircraft hobby. Build your own miniature airforce. I suggest cheap WWII Japanese A6M-Zero models, used in a kamikaze role.
Now, that would be a good time!
I believe the story is about shooting live pigeons instead of clay ones.
They have a sling that holds the pigeons and tosses them in the air using the same apparatus that throws clay pigeons.
I am not in agreement with the method myself since I doubt they eat the pigeons, but I assume they also raise the pigeons for this purpose.I would not kill anything I wouldn’t eat. I mean game animals,not nuisance wildlife destroying crops or dangerous to society, but I tend to not mind other people’s business if it does not affect me.
I quit hunting because hung over/still drunk fellow hunters made the sport too dangerous.
An “unloaded” Mauser went off in the truck I was passenger, blowing a hole on the transmission. That was enough for me.
