The noise levels that on very rare occasion support a trespass claim are much louder and of much greater duration than gunfire. It's very hard to make such claims; so much so that no one tries any longer. They seek to get noise ordinances passed.

Per the story its right next to their house. Thats pretty loud. Also this is Massachusetts. I would not be so quick to make that argument there.

I thought you were going to stick to the printed story.

As for harassing hunters, there's a criminal statute that prohibits such conduct. That too was in the article, or did you forget it also?

Hunting is not permitted on the land, but it had not been posted with “no hunting” signs.

It's unclear whether they are in the unincorporated part of the county, but that would be my guess. If so, then she has absolutely nothing to complain about. People typically choose to live in the county rather than a city to avoid higher taxes and greater regulation. If one wants to live where anything goes, then they should be prepared for their neighbors to feel likewise.

Noise doesn't constitute a trespass. There's no indication that shot fell on her property, other than her statement that it did in the prior year. However, her claim that her dogs had to be "medicated" because they were "traumatized" by the noise, is so absurd that it calls into question her credibility about anything she said.
