Well in Florida warning shots can get you in trouble, on Ag land running livestock is reason enough to shoot dogs and is covered by statute as is menacing any human anywhere.
I don't do warnings to critters chasing the horses, cattle, goats or feathered livestock, that includes cats in the hen house or trying for chicks or ducklings.
Don't know the law where you are Scott but any critter threatening my wife or another human will assume room temp real fast.
