Pretty safe to say if you hit it in the air with a shotgun blast, you’ve committed a felony no matter how high or low it was. The FAA might not look upon it too kindly.

Our local game warden @Jared “liked” the post above but yet contributed nothing towards clearing up the legalities for drone harassment or shooting one down. What the heck good is it to have a game warden on the board if he won’t help out with legal issues?!?
This post is a bit ironic, well done sir.
It’s trivial on a bike to look both ways while riding. If you don’t, problem solved when you get tboned by a car. Also, most bike riders are unable to trigger sensors at stop lights.
He’s likely on the board for personal enjoyment and the other reasons why we are on this forum. I doubt any one of us would be interested in sticking our neck out and offering legal advice as a professional in an unprofessional forum. It’s just asking for legal and career problems, and it’s more work that you’re not getting paid for. None of the attorneys, doctors, or other law enforcement professionals are on here explaining exactly how things work or offering up things that have to do with their work.Our local game warden @Jared “liked” the post above but yet contributed nothing towards clearing up the legalities for drone harassment or shooting one down.

Also, in regards to drones and airspace legality, it’s such a convoluted and little known topic. I’m going out on a limb here, but I’m pretty sure most game wardens on a professional level know an awful lot about wildlife and land conservation, and not a whole lot about airspace classification or safe operating parameters for drone operations.
Alright then, y’all just go ahead and kick this can down the road for another 12 pages…
When the drone becomes a nuisance, and if your able, I guess it's time to try to follow it back to its origins and meet the operator. Maybe an intelligent conversation can be had with the operator. If not contact the police. If that doesn't work, it sounds like your better off with a misdemeanor assault on the operator's big toe than to shoot down his drone. Either way, this stupid droning behavior is going to stop by some means once I have it legally documented. If drone operator is flying at night...well this changes everything.

I think the best defence over private property is to have your own drone and use it against a intruding drone!

This was suggested way back in the beginning of the thread, but some folks persist in arguing with the concept
What happens if a trespassing drone is chasing livestock on private property, and the livestock is in immediate danger?
Dialing 911 might be too late!
Finding the drone operator might be too late!
Livestock if frightened can cause harm or death to themselves unintentionally!
