Why Am I Hearing Gun Shots?

On October 14th. bow and arrow deer season opened up and I do not expect to hear gun shots in the distance this morning. But I was awake, laying in bed, still with my eyes closed not wanting to get up yet, or even turn over, and I just lay there and listen. I heard several gun shots, shotguns not a pistol. I am noticing a pattern of "the sound of gunshots" on this day of the year. Now I already know that squirrel and rabbit season is open, but it opened a month ago and I did not hear gunshots. So this makes me think that these people are illegally hunting deer, all the while making others think they are hunting for small game. I put a stop to anyone but Tony hunting this property because this teen shot at my house, I could hear the pellets hitting the stuff on the front porch while I was sitting in the living room watching t.v. This year I will tighten down even more because someone moved MY no trespassing sign out back. I think instead of just the game warden, I will have to get the police involved. Its a felony to shoot toward a house. I wonder how these people would like you walking around their yard with a shotgun shooting and missing an animal? Anyways, Good Morning!

That's always a problem when you live out and away from the city. Selfish and not too bright hunters have almost ruined it for those who want to hunt seriously. If they moved your sign I would think it was a police matter.

Yes but they would argue I did not see them do it.

Good morning to you as well. I agree that getting the police involved will be a deterrent to this.

That sounds dangerous! Try to do something about it before something really bad happens.
