One of the ammo manufacturers has marketed a " drone load " . Strung shot loads could also be the way to go.

Low tech solution works extremely well: a 12 gauge Remington Model 870.

Well, maybe you boys like it when drones fly over. I personally do not care if one does. And if the police need to shoot one down while undertaking some operation on a suspects residence, then OK. If it is a nuisance drone (rather than a droning nuisance), cops can shoot that any way they see fit, and it's OK with me.

Falconry is starting to look like an interesting hobby, or maybe even a paying profession.

Falcon diving on a 4-blade helicopter-drone? I don't think so more than that one time.
