I think they've figured out that the signs that say "Hunters Will Be
Shot on Sight" make the acreage so protected in our immediate area a
safe zone.


Around here, we don't threaten hunters. They tend to shoot themselves or
their hunting buddies. I've met perhaps 50 in the 20 years I've lived here.
But, I've only met about 4 who made me thing "That's an artist". The rest
were silly people in camo.

A few years ago, I went into the woods with a neighbor who'd been hunting on
his dad's 400 acres for many years. Pretty impressive. He spent the first
two weeks of deer season carrying no gun, just binoculars, a thermos, a
camera, and a notepad. Anytime the news reported that a hunter had killed
himself or his buddy, he'd mutter "Cool. Just got safer for me." :-)
