I'm ok with this as long as they don't waste this as a trophy and properly clean and eat the drone.<p>Otherwise imagine all the wasted money they could cause.
Okay, now I kind of want them to make it an annual event where we go fly some cheap throw-away styrofoam drones[1] and everybody gets together and shoots them out of the sky like skeet. You, know, safely, with minimal drunkenness. Anyway, it would be great if it became so popular that the FAA had no choice but to issue a TFR over the town for the event.<p>[1] like the kind you make for RC dogfighting
