Here's a better image of the damage.
Drone Strike Super Scooper.jpg


Here's the Drone that the FBI is examining in it's attempt to find the Drone's operator.
You'd think if it were intentional they'd have used a bit larger and more stout drone than this common DJI.

I think it's highly more likely it was some Social Media reporter wanta-be hoping to get some video to impress his followers.

I'm thinking that drone strike on the super scooper was deliberate.

These smallish "drones" under get small fast (viewing). Hard to estimate height and distance. It could easily be an accident by an inexperienced operator.

That's awesome
We have been a foster family for about a decade for a golden Retriever Rescue. We even fostered a Great Pyrenees once. That was a cool dog


I have a Great Pyrenees now. Most interesting dog I’ve ever had. Isn’t a damn thing coming near the house without her alerting me to it. It’s a coyote hunter, loves a fight.

They’re a ton of work behavior wise but damn good protectors.

Around here they use sheep to clear brush, usually they have one or two of them in the herd for protection, and ya, Coyote hunters. They seem gentle enough, but shy as hell about people.

This was the very top of Stunt yesterday when I was up there
Could you try to reload the pic not in thumbnail. I want to download it and send it to some friends that lived at the top of stunt up until 6yrs ago

That’s how I got her. She was abandoned by the sheep herder and her Mom near Parker AZ.

It’s so interesting how the herders manage these dogs. They ween them off the tit at something like four weeks instead of six. Then tend to abandon the females because the herders/shepards can’t/won’t have them spade.

If the males don’t keep up with the herd as they migrate through the valley they’re abandoned too.

They need an alpha owner. If you’re not strong, disciplined and deliberate with them they can be a menace. I had to become a student of the breed and that’s when she became an amazing dog.

Definitely not a breed for everyone if they can’t put the work into them but are cool dogs once you figure them out.
