They love it!! they know the word car and that means stay where you are dont move a muscle...lol Anyways maybe he can get at you for the dog not being tied up but for shooting him. If he shoots your dog shoot him!

Morally, he may be way off base in threatening to shoot a dog. However, legally, he has every right to. Any dog harassing wildlife, livestock, or interfering in the operation of a business ect can legally be shot.

My neighbor has horses and I'd guarentee you that if my dog was chasing his prize stallion, he'd do whatever he had to in order to protect his horse and legally if my dog is off my property, I have no right to complain about his treatment of the dog and certainly no legal recourse if he did kill my pet.

Now this guy sounds like a jerk and if you think he's illegally baiting--i'd be calling the Wildlife department or whoever administers such things as hunting in your area.
