OT one way to catch drones

JRSutton · Feb 2, 2016

Not at all tractor related, but since the drone discussion seems to come up every few weeks...

Here's one way to get rid of them:
Drone catching Eagles

Saw that. Wonder how they keep the eagles from being injured by those spinning blades.

Maybe we should stop shooting these things down, I read that someplace they are going to try to use them to deliver organs for transplant.

I wondered the same thing.

That might work until explosive rigged suicide drones take out a few eagles. TDF

I'm sure that if a drone is on a donor run, then it wouldn't be buzzing us, waiting to be shot down

Do they have bald eagles in Europe? Or did they kidnap them in North America and take them over there?

Article on local news at noon today about a man that was training falcons to catch small drones. Showed a clip of the falcon catching one.

May be counting on the stabilization software to cut the power when the bird tips it sideways.
Notice how it grabbed the thing and flipped it quickly?

we've had quite a few flying around here lately, upsets my pets and scares the neighbors cows and horses. We've talked about reloading some 12ga shells with a good tight wad of old fishing line. We thought if it gets that low, then those props would just love that tangled up mess. After hearing them in the pasture next door all the other after noon, I'm getting more inclined to a round of #9. I figure if they're that low that I can hit them, they're lower than they need to be!

There's been stoplight syndrome sufferers buzzing a couple feed lots in the eastern part of the state with them to get the cattle worked up.

Stoplight syndrome: the condition of hiding behind a 'green' facade because one is too yellow to admit they are really 'red'.

I don't know what the regulations are but I think I'd be careful about shooting down an FAA registered aerial vehicle. If it's harassing you is one thing but just flying over I'm not sure anyone has the right to bring it down.
