What size shot would be best for a DRONE? Been hearing rumors and want to be ready.

Shot gun would work, a slingshot with marbles might cause less trouble.

i'd say a good duck load, steel shot would be best. Joking aside shooting down a drone is treated like shooting down an aircraft. not something i'd personally want to mess with, and these days lots of them are streaming data directly to a tablet so they have the footage of you shooting it down. Harassing a hunter is an offence under the law, so that might protect you a bit.

I think a #4 in lead. You don't need to blow it a part to bring it down.

Yes but you don't want it wounded and lost for a grizz to find and eat only to get lead poisoning:-P

Reasonable cause. Read it and weep. No charges for homeowner.

Maybe we should rally and get the govt to make it law that they have to be registered and have a plate in view , so we can report them if they are being
wrongfully used. Seriously though , they are illegal for hunting and seeing one out in the woods at this time of the year is pretty suspicious. I have a friend
that takes down plate numbers of all the vehicles he sees parked in the woods and the info to go with it.

Does he ever do it when the owners are present?
