Police scrambled the force helicopter last night after reports of gunshots.
A member of the public rang police at 8pm on Sunday night to report hearing gun shots around Castle Hill Country Park near Beaumont Leys, Leicester.
Officers closed roads in the area and the helicopter soon found a man in the area with a rifle.
A police spokeswoman said: "We located a person with a rifle but after speaking with the landowner we learned they had permission to shoot on the land."
The incident ended and the roads re-opened at about 9.20pm.
