Drones are more and more in the news these days, not just in war zones shooting at the bad guys( at least that is the mantra), but also a lot of drones being used by all sorts of people from sheriff's to real estate marketers.
Many people don't like the invasion of their privacy.
But what can you do about it?
You can't very well just shoot them down.
Or can you?
Well, there is one place where it may be legal to down these pesky spy planes, and there is even a type of hunting license for it.
The place is a small town in Eastern Colorado, Deer Trail, population of 598, which if famous for anything it claims to be the site of the first rodeo.
The man behind the proposal is Phillip Steel and he lives in a steel Qhonset hut, maybe to ward off prying eyes or ears, and his sign warns the "trespassers will be shot". He is apparently serious about this law and drone hunting.
This is the kind of thing one is not likely to just make up.
I don't know what there is out there on the plains 54 miles east of Denver that anyone would want to spy on, but you never know.
