My neighbours dogs have been aggressive towards my sheep on several occasions, and I have caught the neighbour encouraging the dogs onto my land - ongoing neighbourhood dispute over a right of way. I wrote to them a registered letter stating that IF their dogs were found in my sheep field I would shoot them. ( Shotgun cert only ) This was after checking with my local FAO who said I should warn them of the risks their dogs had of being shot.
For revenge they did just what you stated: They called 999 and said I had shot at them from my house when they were crossing my field. Helicopters, arm
