Drones, I dont know what the law is or the hunting season on them, but blasted 2 now while they were over head, I said go ahead call the cops and get the f off the property... never heard a thing so far... geez they bug me,
There are new regulations and permits required for various operations. Thing is if you run into someone with the proper permits you open yourself up to destruction of property charges. Self help not always the best option.

I LIKE HOW YOU DEALT WITH THEM. AND YES YOU CAN GET SPECIAL PERMISSION AND OPERATIONAL PERMITS, BUT THAT DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO INVADE PRIVACY LAWS. KEEP IT UP POIDY

In all fairness do you know if any privacy was breached or which way the camera was even facing (assuming it even had one)? A lot of real estate photography is turning to drones for aerial shots.
Gun owners across the country are getting a harder and harder time and blowing other peoples property out of the air isn't going to help the situation any.
A call to local authorities probably would have been the best course of action after trying to talk to the drone pilot.

Agreed with MeatEater. Understandably trespassing is one thing, however shooting someone’s personal property also now defined as an aircraft (a vehicle) most of which costing hundreds of dollars will certainly not end well. Especially if you do not know where the drone operator is standing, imagine the backlash if you rained pellets on someone! Regardless if it causes injury or not.
Definitely not the time with a federal election on the horizon to begin acting irresponsibly with a firearm, nor should there ever be a time to do so. Shootings someone’s property sounds like a fantastic way to show anyone how much of a ‘responsible’ gun owner you truly are.

Not a real estate guys, we had them, had a talk with the OPP, they had a talk with neighbour, he was ticked, but got off with a warning of harassment, next time, if there is a next time, he will be charged, as for shot, I used #2 steel shot 3 inch, as was after geese, and dronee was maybe 15 feet away 10 feet off lawn, pointed right at us, so no drones ever since, but sure is lots of geese now, but we got enough, so that hopefully is the end of this story...

Poidy was to win one for the good guys. 😂😂😂
I hate the invasive nature of drones. The damn people flying them think they have a right to do anything they want and go anywhere. Some fooling people use the to scare away birds/animals when they see a hunter. They break the law this way so shoot them down I say.

I have drones and permits. I like reading things like this. I try to avoid breaking the law but with the new regulations it is extremely difficult not too.
I have to assume that there is a squirrel (animal) in every tree. My drone offends that squirrel and now I have disturbed wild life and have now broken the law. Also need to make sure that there is no airport within a 9km radius so check maps and landing site zones. They are everywhere.
I do fly close to my friends to film them while fishing. Technically not allowed but we are friends and don't give a crap. Would I do it to someone else.... no. I stay the legal distance away from others and their possessions. Fly mainly on crown land or hovering over myself while fishing.
One of the big ones I see is the trespassing debate. IATA owns the air space 1 inch off your lawn, around your tree and above your house. This where ppl need to be careful.

Chrome Bullets I have no issue with people flying drones over their heads or their friends heads with permission. I have no issue with video for a U tube show. Forgot trespassing flying over someone property without permission is an invasion of privacy. It the same as watching someone though a window with binoculars (which is illegal even if they are not trespassing). Scaring wildlife on purpose because you don’t like someone hunting is also illegal. It’s on the onus of the drone flier for to give people the privacy and respect that right to privacy. If someone is on their own private property this should just never be an issue as the drone flier just should not be flying there.
Drones?
