Fun, right up until that odd ricochet HITS them, and you go to jail for assault.
Yeah, all good scare tactics have an element of risk but this one is awful low...especially in (sort of) rural Texas.

Cone of Shame
Does not look too ashamed? Looks quite content.

In all seriousness; I'm a certified youth firearms instructor, and spend a lot of time in discussions trying to educate people and help remove some of the stigma attached to firearms, and the ignorance about gun laws. I tend to respond poorly to ideas like "shoot at something close to them to scare them", as they are extremely counter to a lot of my personal efforts.
Shore nuff, gunfights at high noon are a popular pass time here in Texas. Sorta like an appetizer for real men!
We all know that is only a little true. Except for that fact that I am a firm believer that certain southern midwest states proven the old saying "an armed society is a polite society". In your case it appears that "Good fences make good neighbors" ain't working.
I would bet that shooting certain birds with pellets rifles is exactly as common a practice in Texas as it was in Oklahoma. You are in a dry enough area you might not keep a 410 around for snakes.
Back on topic, we lost a dog to a crazy vigilantly nutjob that spiked hamburger with crushed Christmas ornaments and threw it over fences of dog owners. He had a manifesto and everything which they found because he tried to do the same thing at wild cat rescue outside Tulsa but instead ended up dinner.
RIP Grady the dumbest Newfie in history. Sorry I was not there in the end.
Sorry to hear about your experience. I would be very likely to end up in jail or the graveyard over something like that. Another reason I would like to end the problem here on a more positive note if possible.
Yesterday around 5:30 pm I herd a commotion in the corner of my back yard. My dog always likes to bark and run up and down the 100+ feet of 6 foot privacy fence when people walk down the sidewalk over there. There is a good 8 feet between the the edge of the side walk and my fence along with a row of small trees the entire run. But this time something just did not sound right.
I walked out of my shop and observed some guy walking a small hairy dog down the sidewalk but did not see my dog Bruno for a few minutes. He finally came out of the corner from behind some bushes gasping for air and blowing through his nose.
The corner he was in is where the front facing picket fence meets the side facing privacy fence. I am on a corner lot and the picket fence is over 100 feet from the road it faces. I suspect but did not witness that this guy walking his dog came onto my property in order to spray my dog with pepper spray or something similar through the white picket fence. In order to do so he would have to leave the sidewalk and come a good 10 feet into my yard.
Bruno was fine within minutes of me witnessing his breathing problems so whatever it may have been was somewhat harmless. However trespassing on my property in an attempt to prevent my dog from his primary "job" of protecting his pack is just not right.
So now I have a new location to drink my evening beer as I sit in wait to see if what I suspect happened happens again.
Trespassers will be prosecuted (or worse).
You know, there are several pepper spray containers that can spay up to 25 or 30 feet, some can be activated remotely...
Just sayin'.
Regards, GF.

Thought you guys may enjoy Chesty taking on the role of a cat. I was playing the PS4 and as he trampled on the TV remote he killed the TV and my lead in the last lap of the race I was racing. Can't be mad with a face like that looking at you.

Hmmm
Going out on a limb here and guessing someone in your home has something to do with the Corps
Good night chesty wherever you are
SIL's pet rat. I think an owl took it. Good riddance.

So for those who have raised a puppy, i have a question. How do i get her to stop using my hands as a toy?! When she wants to play, Olivia will ignore every toy I give her and keeps trying to (softly) nibble my hand

high pitched "yelp" every time they bite your hand..it works.
When she puts her mouth on your hand, drive your hand (gently but firmly) into the joint of her jaw, accompanied by a "NO".So for those who have raised a puppy, i have a question.

Maple is pretty, but would sure like to see the rest of the hardware I can see the stock of, very pretty indeed.

This worked well for my Pit even though he was over a year old. I still have to do it occasionally but he usually pulls back as soon as he realizes what he's started to do (he's about 20 months old now and still can get very jazzed up.)
Eye contact while you're doing it is also key.
A man who is not able to naturally project calming vibes to his pack should not adopt a pit bull. They've got the biggest heart ever, and when they get excited they really get excited. Takes one to know one.
