Subject: RE: BS: Trespassing Hunters
Sins...no worries about white mittens! Everyone in this house wears bright red, hunter orange or that neon yellow-green during hunting season. It's kind of creepy to know that when you go outside to feed the animals or get the mail that someone who isn't thinking might shoot at you. It has happened that some have been killed in this area. And forgive me if you are from NJ, but they are THE WORST at shooting anything that moves...they come here to hunt....I don't think some of them even KNOW what a deer looks like.

As to what kinds of guns are used, shotguns (buckshot) are used as are rifles...what caliber, I have no idea.

PS. My husband was awful darn close to getting the rifle out and blasting it into the sky when the guy at our backbarn thought he was going to continue to stand there and hunt. What really drives us crazy is that 4 or 5 guys will chase a deer through the field while a hunter waits at the bottom....this guy sees the deer running down the hill through the field and then shoots towards the deer....and towards our house. I think that kind of hunting is unethical not to mention putting others in danger.
