First off, this guy is trying to impinge upon your right to shoot on your property. There comes a time when the situation defines you or you define the situation. You don't have to be a jerk about it, but you do need to defend your rights!

I would IMMEDIATELY file a harassment complaint against him. This will most likely cure ALL of your problems.

Secondly, you should, IMHO, have your lawyer contact the neighbor through the county guy and ask him WHEN an appropriate time would be for you to shoot on your property at least three times a week for a period of one hour at a minimum. If the guy comes back and says never, it then shows that he is being very unreasonable in his expectations. If he comes back with three days and decent hours for you to shoot, then there's at least a compromise that might work in your favor and please both of you. I would also get a video camera and record your other neighbor shooting. Then, walk over there and ask him to comment on camera as to whether or not the cops have been called on him.

Do NOT let this guy push you around like this. Not only will you give up your rights, you will also lose a lot of your self respect. Right is right, wrong is wrong. You've already stated that you fire responsibly and with concern for your neighbors. So take it as far as it needs to go. And remember, if you DO get to the point of calling the EPA when that jackwagon is burning his tires, make sure YOUR property is clean.
