Those black stealth helicopters breed in the backwoods of Idaho, my adopted homestate. If you want to stop those helicopters from hovering in the surrounding area just make a big sign (I know you've got the dye for it) and put it on the roof. Oh, yeah, the sign should say "Remember Ruby Ridge". I ga-ron-tee those helicopters will leave your friends, neighbors and local cannabis farmers alone. I do suggest that you check out your homeowners insurance and make certain you're well covered and that you quickly leave the area after putting up the sign.
