The jury travelled to a property on Lottah Road on Tuesday to see where 47-year-old Dean Manshanden was found dead in October last year.
His neighbour, Kerry Alexander Bilston, has pleaded not guilty to murdering him.
The trial into Mr Manshanden’s death began in the Launceston Supreme Court on Monday and the jury heard there had been “animosity” between him and Mr Bilston for much of last year.
The men had argued over a shared driveway and Mr Bilston had reported Mr Manshanden to Parks and Wildlife, accusing him of cutting down trees on Crown land at the back of their properties, the court heard.
When he was arrested, Mr Bilston admitted to police he shot Mr Manshanden in the back of the head but said he only wanted to “scare” him, not kill him.
Director of Public Prosecutions Daryl Coates said when he was interviewed by police, Mr Bilston showed “no remorse, nor was he devastated he shot the deceased”.
