High-brass #2’s with an extra-full or turkey choke should be just the ticket!
Not sure how to cook them birds, though.

Time to trick the microwave ovens and disrupt their signals.

First of all, I thought it was illegal to possess on public hunting grounds electronic surveillance equipment. PETA could as just be liable for poaching.

I Like Your Idea.

[Afterguard]

What fun! I would even pay for a license to shoot them...
Keep trying PETA.

All of the state DNR’s receive a huge portion of their operating budgets via hunting and fishing license fees.

They're not about to let PETA poop in their sandbox.

I was thinking sort of the same thing.

It sounds like fun using your shotgun for anti aircraft purposes. If they are high enough and you are far enough away from any dwellings you could try the much more difficult rifle anti aircraft shooting.

Interesting how the bunnyhuggers would never harass the Voodoo Preists and Santerians in Nawlins or Queens who steal peoples' pets and systematically torture them as part of their rituals, can't cticize those practices, that's a cultural thing. Or let's see one of those pasty-faced Pajama Boy types venture into some Barrios one night and try to bust up a cock fight.

Sounds to me like it would be great fun shooting down these things.

Most states already have laws against harrassing hunters, originally meant to discourage PETA punks running through the woods spooking the deer. It would have been unfortunate if they suddenly grew antlers.

A new law against PETA drones basically places them outside of laws protecting personal property. In other words, said drones can be blasted out of the sky and what do the PETA freaks do? Call the sheriff?

Illinois is surprisingly conservative south of I-80.

Surprisingly, these “hobbyists” are able to take home their personal drone for only $324.99.

These aren't "drones" per se, more like small helicopters with a flight time of 5 to ten minutes per battery. The "pilot" would be within a quarter mile or so. We've used these things for roof inspections and with multiple batteries, a camera, monitor, they run more than $325 bucks. Still if I had one of these buzzing around a deer hunt, I'd waste a round or two on it.

I agree, I live next door.

Deport Chicago!
