I've been lucky and never had an issue on my acreage, I feel like the best you can do is have a good camera system to hopefully identify offenders. You can get a pretty basic system that alerts your phone and then you can monitor your cameras to decide if its a false alarm or worth a call to 911.
No guns at my place. I would hate to be in a defensive position cause that can go wrong so many ways, but I'm not too worried as I haven't heard of many unwanted visitors while someone is home around our area. I always keep a car or truck by the house so that it looks like someone is home from the road.
