Had one of those Drones check out my whirlybird
So two weeks ago, My brother in law were out for a cruise in the boat, when all of a sudden a 4 prop drone came out. I'm sure it'll be the norm in a few years..... but I didn't like it at all! We watched it for about 10 secs thinking it would leave. It just stayed hovering for about a min, 20' from my boat, in the middle of the lake. Out of instinct I quickly pointed to it with one finger on one hand, and pulled out the classic windmill with the other. Not sure if who was watching, but it took off immediatly. Anyone else been peeked at with one of these things? It hasn't come back since, but would love to have the 12 with me if it keeps up.
This isn't a test run................Enjoy er'.......

How would they know ? It would be lights out.

A good cast with a rubber plug right over the drone, I don't imagine it would fly with a birds nest of line in the rotors.

I guess you could "accidentally" shoot it while trying to shoot a duck? Wonder how those plastic propellers hold up to a 3" load of steel BB's ?
I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

Topher beat me to it, start carrying a few rocks in the boat with you,,,,don't think your breaking any law for throwing rocks into the water, """""YET""""". haven"t seen one yet but will be sure to put a few rocks onboard.

Are these being flown by the authorities? Seems like interference with legal hunting and/or fishing to me.
