Dang, where is that ZSU-23 when you need it?

Then they would not have had anything to recover.

"... a loud crack of a rifle..."

Yes, we shoot rifles at pigeons.

If accidental... Too bad-so sad. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

If intentionally shot... Bad sportsmanship, bad PR, poor reflection on us as a whole, and plays into their hand.

I wonder if PA has a law against hunter harrassment? Here in NC this would count as hunter harrassment and SHARK could be cited for what they are doing.

I wonder if shooting down their "drone" would fall under the last line of the summary? "A person adversely affected by prohibited activities may bring an action to restrain such conduct and to recover damages."

Shark knew this would happen and got what they deserved. They said the thing had four grand worth of damage and this was the fourth time it happened. Well stop flying your toys over hunting property where people shoot in the air. They hurt pigeons who would of thought they would shoot in the air. Face palm for shark.

From the news story Shark has been using this drone to harass the people at this shoot in the past which basically got them no were for media coverage, Now who's not to say Shark didn't shoot their own drone down or stage the event for the publicity it would bring.

Honestly I have never heard of this group before this news story.
