Since AR15's, shotguns, and drone jammers are 100% illegal for taking out these pests, there is really only one good option available to deal with drone trespassers. Counter drones are perfectly legal, and especially having one with a bigger and better battery than your neighbors drone has is probably the best option for someone dealing with a persistent drone problem.
Follow the offending drone back to it's owners and take pictures of them and their license plate and/or house. I've got money that says this would put an end to the intrusion from this particular source.
Would that not get your attention if you were flying your spy drone back home to recharge and you'd see that it's being followed by a bigger and more powerful drone with a full battery?

I got a better idea. How about following them back with this one that can drop a 550 pound bomb.

It’s potentially the most powerful reusable drone in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Well, I was mostly thinking about what might be legal and readily available. Then again, most average folk can probably not afford your option or my option.
So, thinking about readily available and also affordable, plus something the average outdoorsman might already have, long range goose loads may fit the bill here.(But sir, I thought it was a big crow until I saw that impressive shower of sparks)

If one were to venture beyond the legal bounds, I would guess most commercial drones would be susceptible to ECM. If one knew what they were doing, it would be difficult to detect. Having said that, I don't recommend using bad guy tactics against bad guys in a civil society. Having said that. If the drone is coming from a couple miles away, one might be able to saturate the receiver while staying under the FFC limit for power at the given frequency. Especially if you had a directional antenna. I probably depends on how sophisticated the drone you are dealing with is. While private citizens don't own air space, once a drone crashes on your land, it becomes a trespass. Once it crashes I would consider it debris.

"I don't recommend using bad guy tactics against bad guys in a civil society" Thanks Yoder, that's well said. We live in a great place and if there's a few bad apples we only make it worse by becoming a bad apple ourselves. I wouldn't be surprised if new stiffer regulations protecting wildlife will be rolled out sometime in the future. In the meantime if it doesn't get worse than it's been in our area it's not too bad yet. I only know of two flying over my land in the last 10 years and I spend a lot of hours out there.
