Peta and others have drones. Some for harassing hunters and some to spy on neighbors. If I could see a government insignia on one I might not shoot at it.

I think some bird hunters in Ohio shot down a PETA drone last year. I believe it was at a charity “pigeon shoot” or whatever. Little bird size thing.
