Well when he stopped at my moms house, she managed to ask his name. She then googled him, and we have his phone number. She tried to call him but his wife answered and said he was gone.
I have not called the sheriffs office yet or AC. Although I do have a friend who works there, so I may ask his opinion.
I am trying to remain calm and civil, it is an 80 year old guy, and he is our neighbor. I really do not want a life long dispute. But really he needs to mind his own business.
I posted a no trespassing sign, and if he comes here again or makes anymore threats he will be DONE.
I wanted to call him last night, but husband is furious. He feels just as violated as me, and is saying how if he comes here again he is going to fire some warning shots in the air. Husband will not let me call him. He says if the guy is going to make threats, he needs to come say it to our face. We should not have to hunt him down.
My mom came out and rigged it up so the horse can go into the barn if he wants to. He has not been in there once yet, and husband wants him put back. (The horse is basically fenced off in the yard and pooping everywhere.)
My animals are well cared for. I have a 20 pound cat for goodness sakes, and a 200 pound pet pig. No one can say my animals are starving... lol. If anything they are overweight. This is all just ridiculous. I am appalled that someone would think I mistreat my animals. It is so the opposite of that.
I have decided to not let it bother me. Mom gave him my phone number, so he has no reason to not contact me if he wants to make empty threats again. We will be taking action against him if he does something again.
Thanks for the support guys!

Right now I will continue watching and waiting.

It has been said that honey catches more flies than vinegar. If I felt safe doing it (maybe with a bit more information about this guy from people that know him), I might bake some cookies and drop by his house with your husband. It never hurts to get to know your neighbors and you might be able to disarm his fears and suspicions.

I have baked cookies and such for the other neighbors. Who are also older and quite nice. Call me prideful or rude, but I have no want to go be friendly to a guy who is casting threats and is too cowardly to come tell me to my face, or even call me. No matter his age.
I am willing to talk to him and get it resolved, but I am not going to go out of my way to be friendly.

Mother in law says he was always nice to her but quiet. She did say that her parents thought that he was an odd duck, so she tried to stay away from him for the most part.
