[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 947773, member: 839"] Because Sunday is about the only day (unless it is pouring down rain) when it is [u][b]half-way [/b][/u]safe for me to go out on [u]my own [/u]property to check fences, cows or just go out with the dogs and hopefully not get get shot by the local delinqeunts who are trespassing on ours and neighbors places. Perfect example----last February on a SUNDAY, was a warm day, and husband was in the shop working on a truck, I was out there nearby brushing/shedding out one of the dogs. I headed down towards the barn to get a square bale for the goats when KABOW!!! just from the creek alongside the barn---on our place----. I will not write here what words immediately came out of my mouth but the last phrase ended with "is it really that necessary?!?" Few minutes later 2 of the delinquents (one of which is 21 yo and should know better) emerges from the woods on the neighbor's place (trespassing). And as PDF commented on, the newer version of hunting with dogs involves racing up and down the road in Toyota trucks and Jeeps and generally raising Caine everywhere they go---day and night and leaving a trail of beer cans as they go. Many of whom have no respect for landowners and their livestock or their dogs. Last year my "next door" neighbor had one of his Pyrenees shot to death while it was chasing hunting dogs off of his land. Another local person was riding horses with friends when one those Toyotas tore-a$$ up into the holler and spooked the horses (who were off the road) and one them got dumped on the pavement as the horse nearly got hit by another Toyota in hot pursuit. Years ago hunting season for me was something to look forward to, tracking, checking for "rubs" on trees, setting out in the woods, fresh game. Not any more, at least not around here. The last day of hunting season is always the worst. I rarely hunt anymore, but have several friends who do. I have no problem with hunting----responsibly. Here where I am, in Va., 6 days a week for 6 months should be enough time, in my opinion. Its not even hunting season yet, and a few weeks ago (I posted about this in a different thread) a shot rings out and immediately I hear a zinging/whistle right past my head. No what I consider a pleasant experience. I truly believe the delinquent was [b][u]not[/u][/b] purposely shooting at me, I believe what happened was he didn't realize that I was home, and outside right by the pasture that adjoins the side gravel road and he was shooting at who-knows-what. I shouted out a few choice words then too. I had a very friendly discussion w/his uncle and there was no trouble. Fortunately we get along well with folks. I'm finished rambling so I'll shut up now.
