A friends son shot one down with a 17. Ended up with no fine cause the drone was taking recordings of their property. IIRC the drone owner got a fine.

Thanks, the massi system.You forgot spears and blow guns. I'm sure Tim Wells has probably already jumped off his house and speared one

Federal Flight Control #1 buck. 15 .30 caliber (approx) hardened and plated pellets. Have killed yotes with it at 65 yards.

Might work but sometimes a too tight choke with larger shot compresses the shot to the point that it deforms it and actually cause erratic patterns. You'd have to try it in your gun first.#4 buck with a Full choke. You would get more distance than #7 or 8. Just remember that mounting it might be difficult
Best up coming time for drone hunting is new Year's Eve.
FYI for those living in New Jersey. That way if the Gubment shows up you'll know exactly who is flying them usually they like their toys in one piece and without firework burns. Seriously Beijing Biden and company don't allow Chinese balloons and drones to be messed with. It cuts into their pay offs. AAhhum I mean finances

It does not concern drones, but I was having trouble with a certain spray pilot flying over our home and property. He would fly directly over our house. He killed several nice trees and shrubs because of leakage from his spray nozzles. FFA would do nothing about it. His company laughed it off. They did fix the leaks, but he kept flyjng over our property. Finally I walked out in the yard one day with my shotgun and swung it at him when he flew over. Did not shoot, but shortly a pickup came tearing down the driveway and the company owner jumped out and started cussing and ranting about what I intended to do with the shotgun. I told him I was going to use it on him if he did not change his attitude. And, he better stop the flying over our property. That stopped the trouble.
No horns just propeller blade width and length. Maybe battery size but not sure about the regs for keeping those attached for identification?
I was going to try that to see if my neighbor would build a privacy fence. I should be able to get a new fence without paying for it.
Of course, your kill will be the 1st one logged in the Nosler/Hornady division.

I love this thread! I'm all for shooting down any drone you can hit. Chances are the operator is probably violating FAA rules anyway, so I'd just be doing them a favor by taking it out of the sky. Not to mention, as a firefighter, I've seen far too many occasions of aerial suppression efforts halted because of unauthorized drone use in the area. The only reason not to shoot one down would be if there were really a possibility of tracking it to its landing spot and then nabbing the operator. Then I'd smash the drone with the skull of the operator...............I like short feedback loops......................Sorry. Of course I would never do that.....

6.5CM will do the trick at any range, just make sure to use Hammer Bullets!!!

Star cluster or parachute illumination flares might work as a deterrent.
