Barry's story remind's me of an incident that occured when I first moved out here. Some hunters, frustrated, I suppose, at not seeing anything to shoot at in the woods, set up some cans on fence posts along the road in front of my property and were shooting at them into my property. I phoned the police and , of course, by the time they arrived those idiots were long gone. The first thing the cop says to me when I explained what was going on was " You're not from around here are you?"
I have since then learned that the idiots in the bush with guns and the cops are one and the same.
