The old man across the street (300 yards) is nearest neighbor. The southern facing window of my bathroom has no neighbor for 20 acres. It was not black powder season yet, which is why I used my bow (bow season restarts on 12/1) the next day muzzleloader season opened. There was no safety issue, and was meant to be something to laugh at. My life as a transplanted Ft. Lauderdale resident to rural MI has brought on a lot of these. Like loading my pigs onto a trailer to go to the butcher. I would have shot them myself, but I did not have any camo handy. There was plenty of fair chase around the barnyard when they got loose. So that would havew been ethical? Would have made more sense than the hour we spent trying to round up the runtand gettin a cloven hoof to the head. I taught my kids that the season you are in (Bow, firarm, muzzleloader) matters to taking an animal. I coulkd have grabbed my .22, but there is no rifle hunting in the southern zone i live in, and it was bow season. I also taught them not to take yourself too seriously. Merry Christmas. May you see a pack of does walk by your bathroom window and not think "How can I harvest one of these beautiful creatures?"
