Watch where you are before you shoot
« on: December 07, 2009, 01:23:58 PM »
Howdy all
  The reason I am posting this here is because it was a squirrel they shot. Now for the story

My wife and I was sitting on our front porch today and we hear 5 shots that sounded like came from our back yard. I run back there and sure enough 2 guys are back there picking up a squirrel they had shot (why 5 shots I will never know). Now I must admit my place backs up to a National Forest but they was in my grass not even in the woods any more. Now I let them know that it is LAW that they not shoot within 150 yards of a home. I also let them know I was not a happy camper that they not only was on my land but clearly 150 feet from my house.
I should have called the game wardens or police and had them charged but was feeling nice at the time for some stupid reason. If it happens again I will make sure they are charged and they are not to bright.

So please watch where you are before you shoot.

Probably a good thing the squirrel distracted them to announce their arrival.
Enjoy your rights to keep and bear arms.

Micahn, So did they hurt anyone? Destroy anything?

In a long ago time we hunted where we wanted. There were no fence laws and you were welcome on most folks property. In those days the owner would a given the hunters a glass of lemonade.  ::) Guess I don't quite understand what the big deal was.
