Securing perimeter woods
We’ve had several attempted/successful burglaries in our area, and our home was targeted last week. The bad guy came from the rear of our property over about 1/2 mile of woods/pasture (caught on trail cam). When approaching our home, he low crawled from woods to the home… not his first rodeo. None of them have been afraid of cameras… always wearing a full mask and hoodie. I need something in the woods behind our home to scare them off and alert us.
Thinking about some kind of tripwire / flashbang in the woods but I have to believe wildlife would set them off pretty quick. The strip of woods behind our home is roughly 200’ x 600’ but there’s a mowed path leading to the house that’s the first priority to arm.

You can get one of those tripwire things that attach to a shotgun shell and once it's tripped it goes off to be alerted. that'll probably scare the shit out of them, or if they're bold, make them return fire as they run away like bitches.
You can get fancy with it if you wanted to by building a remote turret with a paintball gun and use a Raspberry Pi and radar module.
Or just old an fashion punji sticks pit. Once done cover it up. No one knows he's there anyways.
