Nothing wrong with a quick call and saying "you lads might get a call because the guy up the road freaks out if I so much as clap my hands" Look at it this way, if you are not home and someone is illegally shooting on/near your land, don't you want Police to follow it up?

Hearing shots is commonplace in rural areas. Perhaps better to "be aware" and not placidly ignore everything around you.
