What are were these kids thinking?
Heard from the neighbors that the night before theee were several shots made at night in the field that is part of our hunting area. The neighbor went to investigate and encountered 2 kids (about 16-17 yr old) in the field with a large doe down. When the neighbor questioned them they said they had a crop damage permit. The neighbor knowing better and knowing who owned the land said that that wasn'possible. The kids quickly drove off in their truck tearing up the alfalfa field. He didn't get a tag number. He did say he saw they had a pistol that they used. My father-in-law went to look for the doe and said the deer had been shot several time including its front legs blown off. This makes me irate that these two kids drove up and had their headlights on this deer while they got out and unloaded on it. Call me a softy but thats just upsets me. I hope that I don't run in to these kids since I know the make model and color of the vehicle. But if they are carrying a handgun around, that causes me concern too.
