Ya! Dude!

You know, that is kind of interesting flight path that the owner of the drone choose for "having fun" considering there was a whole passel of open field area that he crossed with his drone to get to a residential area. Apparently "having fun" includes girls laying out at a pool more than just the flying the drone around.

But like they always say.....Location......location........location.

 

[Buckster]

You missed the part where he explained "why" that particular flight path, and the texts between him and his friend that confirm his "why".

 

[tirediron]

Dude, we have some here that people stupidly feed so they are now year rounders waiting on their hand out. Have you ever seen the area where those things hang out. They $#!% everywhere. I'm not sure that all that $#!% is worth all the $#!& it would cause.

We have a HUGE year-rounder population here in Victoria, so yeah, I know exactly of what you speak!

No I didn't miss it. It had a hint of the Family Circus route to it.

Ahhh... I guess I just missed that you'd figured out he had X-ray vision to penetrate the fences, bushes, trees and so forth, in order to know there was a sunbathing girl in that backyard, which is why he flew that-a-way instead of this-a-way, and therefor rejected his seemingly reasonable explanation with text messages confirmation as though you hadn't read it, and went with the shooter's excuse for shooting it down instead.

My bad.

We have a lot of homeless people here in the Portland area as well. The "Fareless Square" transit mall area (where TPF member goodguy was accosted this summer) is thick with them. All age classes too, from young teen to middle aged.

Derrel, were not talking about people here, were talking about geese.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

One excellent method to resolve the issue........Doves. Raise doves, lots of doves. Ever see a flock of doves taking off. Like herding chickens. A natural deterrent. The turbulence they would create could give the little bugger a wonderful ride.

Even better a small AVE (Atmospheric Vortex Engine). Nothing like a small invisible tornado like spiral of air to give the little bugger a dizzying ride.

I'd take that to the next level; never mind doves, go for Canada geese. If one of them can bring down a commercial airliner, imagine what a flock would do to a drone?

 

[Derrel]

Suuuuure you were. So was I! ;-)

Suuuuure you were. So was I! ;-)

Sadly we were.

What is even sadder, the geese I was talking about have become dependent on humans to feed. They have lost their instinct to hunt their own food. We even have 2nd and 3rd generation geese that have never left the Riverside Park area year round.

 

[Derrel]

I know what you were talking about. I thought you'd recognize nonsense when confronted with it... )wink(

Yeah...the day-old-bread-fed flocks of Canada geese, domesticated mallards, and hybridized, bastardized cross-bred mongrel ducks and drakes that liter our local area parks are a public health nuisance. There have been multiple instances of fairly widespread public health issues from all the duck and goose poop that now COVERS large areas of local parks that have populations of these flying rats. As I understand it, this is something that has grown exponentially over the last 20 years--people feeding ducks and geese to the extent that there are now large populations of waterfowl that resides year-round in thousands of municipal areas. We're located RIGHT ON the Pacific Flyway...which in Washington,Oregon, and California follows Interstate 5. All along the I-5 corridor, there are parks where the ducks and geese are little more than crap-factory workers that churn out turds so frequently that at one park, walking through the grass is just simply ridiculous...there's a pile of bird dung every three or four feet, over about the entire two acres of park grounds, and the goose population is about 50 individuals, and the ducks number about 150 I would estimate. Oh....and also about 50 seagulls or so...

 

[JacaRanda]

The Canada Geese spoil my fun of getting out and walking in some parks. And..........if the gaggle is in the middle of a road, forget about them double timing it to move to one side or the other. They are RUDE.

 

[table1349]

We have areas of Riverside Park that literally there is no vegetation on the ground due to the massive amount of goose $#!%.

I feel your pain about the traffic problem. Seems like once a week at least it is goose stroll time across the road while people are on the way to work. I use the word stroll as I have no other word to describe it that is slower. Well maybe Stroooooooooooollllllll.

Derrel, I knew you knew but I figured that you knew that I knew that you knew. Who knew?

 

[snerd]

We have the Canada geese problem all the way down here in Oklahoma! The aerial shot of the small in-town lake I posted awhile back has probably 50-60 of them that get fed bread by parents and their kids, year-round. Just pulling into the parking lot near the water on one end sends them swimming toward shore! Yes, crap "everywhere"! And it stinks, too!

OMG. Watching Carnival Eats and just saw the most amazing looking and sounding treat.
