Animals rights activists learn lesson about flying spy drones over private property

[YALE]

Unfortunately, I only see them in city limits. They know!

I wonder what altitude the "drone" got shot at?

Goddamn it. Apparently, they're covered by the Migratory Bird Protection Act. They have to be destroying your property to shoot them.

Figures. I think there's only like 2 birds not protected in some form or fashion.

Why would activists care about fucking pigeons, they're like the rats of the bird world who gives a shit!

[STANGGT40]

Wtf is a live pigeon shoot? Isn't that just bird hunting?

the dallas gun club does it every year (as do many others, i'm sure), and the animal rights people usually try picket, throw stuff at cars that enter, etc. anyway, they have pigeons brought in, and they have bracket type contests, where you have x number of shots to kill x number of birds within a given area. if a bird makes it out of the area, you don't move on, if you don't kill all of the birds with the given amount of shots, you don't move on, etc. at the end, the winner gets whatever the prize is...usually it's quite high, as the entry fee is very high. do a search on "dallas gun club pigeon shoot", and you'll probably find several people pissed off about it. they went to court a few times over it, and it was a hot issue for a little while. they'll bring in semi loads of birds, when they do it.

Be better if they'd do it in city parks...like a pheasant hunt.

Define, "destroying". I consider shitting on my car destruction of my property. I hate those damn birds. It seems like every year their population doubles. Too bad you can't discover a way to lure them into shipping container sized traps and funnel them into a wood chipper.

yea, i watched a video on it. it looks like a pretty trashy event overall.

i'm down to bag some quail/pheasant for the sake of good eats, but shooting trapped pigeons out of a trap seems to fall between full retard and white trash.

Well, shooting live pigeons is where skeet shooting came from. There's a reason they're called clay 'pigeons'.

I would have never guessed that, my parents neighbor sits on his back porch and shoots them all the time. He has about a 5 or 6 shot 12ga he uses.

[GeorgeG.]

I always wondered how many would go down from one 12 gauge shot.

yeah, you probably wouldn't even have to aim...just shoot and reload.

I've always wondered what would happen if I threw out a 5lb sack of rice for them....would they eat so much that when they finally get a drink of water the rice would swell up?

Dead on. I did one a few years ago, it was a lot of fun.

Had a predator buzz my parents house last month.

Sure pal, where do your folks live, Afghanistan?

Derp, I posted about it 2-3 months ago. A drone flew 100s of feet above me...yes they have them here in the US too.

Yep.

If they're not in the city limits, kill all you can! They're a non-native, invasive species in Texas.

I shoot a few nearly ever Friday afternoon in the middle of Highland Park. A Browning .22 semi auto is my weapon of choice and the HPDPS doesn't give a damn.
