Tensions are rising in the woods of Pennsylvania.
Local club hunters in Berks County allegedly fired at a mechanical flying object owned by an animal rights group, knocking it out of the sky.
The ‘Octocopter’ drone was in the midst of recording a live pigeon shoot on Sunday around 3pm when state police say it was suddenly shot down.
