"Did the guy even know he was in the wrong?"

yes

"I doubt it was trespassing as he was not ticketed which he would have been had this been a trespassing issue."

The first thing the deputy asked me was if I wanted to have him charged with trespassing. I replied that the property is not posted and I didn't actually see where he was shooting from. The deer was lying about 90' beyond my fence line on yet another property owners land.

When I held him at point with the cell phone he didn't know whether to [censored] or get off the pot. He didn't know if it was loaded or not. In this day and age these phones have GPS, videos, speed dialing , etc.

I don't consider it chickenchit to report him and put some distance between us. As Irie posted at some point we just can't have the shells flying over our homes. This is not the first time for this guy to be warned about gunplay
