Sat.about 4:30 some idiot with a 7mm mag shot at a deer crossing the hwy about 300 yds down the road from my driveway. The bullit traveled diagonally down hwy thru 10-15 yds of light brush hit inlaws house across from mine,it went thru glass storm door,thru steelclad door and one side of interior sheetrock wall.Thankfully,nobody was in the house at the time. Then they proceded to release dogs on my side that ruined my bowhunt about 800 yds away (IN THE WOODS where you hunt)a daily ocurrance.My wife was outside my house painting,farmer next door heard shot knew it was too close,went and ran off two @ssholes mid 20's,posted signs everywhere both sides of hwy but didn't know them or get tag#.We've had problems before,4 yrs ago a fool shot deer in inlaws yard case dropped by sorry @ss judge in court,left m/inlaw and warden standing there like "What the **** just happened" Pretty sure it's the same group this time.The ring leader works for land owner of ajoining property neither seem to care.Quote"Sounds like a good reason to stay inside" Not safe there either.Sheriff and warden called,hands tied,no eyewitness. It's making it hard not to become a member of the SSS club.My deer season may be over time to hunt dogs and the hunter.Don't mean to seem harsh but if their pointing my way I'm shooting that way(pretty good shot too) I normally would not harm anyone,but these guys act like rabid animals when chasing deer and I don't want to get bit(family shot) before putting them down. Da mn a stupid dog deer hunter. Needed to vent thanks


sorry if large

Hunt the Hunters but don't punish the dogs for those idiots actions. They know not what they have done wrong. (not condoning violence!!!).

Did ya try calling the state police? Don't know if it would help...but can't hurt...i guess.

I agree w/you about punishing the dogs but I will try to catch them and break up that hunt as far as the hunters I've backed up to my property and THAT IS AS FAR AS I"M BACKING!!!!!!!

copy of post I made on local board on this subject
Don't get me wrong,I understand and enjoy some types of dog hunting(coon,bear,rabbit,retrievers) Deer hunting with dogs takes a lot of land to be done safely but by it's very nature of fast paced wide ranging animals being shot at when they are in open areas leads to a dangerous situation when done in a populated area,by fools that get that wild man look in their eyes and see nothing but the deer not thinking about downrange.These idiots will not listen to reason we've tried for several yrs.I hate to see any type of hunting banned but under these situations would support it. We have several so called clubs that hunt this area and it seems like a compition to get the deer before he leaves their area or just as soon as he does for surrounding clubs,none of which are very large.The largest about 2000ac next about 600ac,turns in to a free for all when the dogs cross lines. It's not all dog deer hunters causing problems but around here it is most of them

Heres one for you NC HUNTER.At the start of Bow season this year,i walked into the woods before day break on MY property (private property),to MY stand.well after about five hours i decided to come in for a bit.On the back out i meet up this this guy.He say's to me.Was that you coming in early this morning?..yes it was..He says,man i thought that was a deer i aimed and tried to scope it,but it was too dark.I like my freedom too much,so i let him live.But none the less his ass went to jail.So i know what you're feeling,"some" people just have no buisness with a gun or a hunting permit

Thank God here in IL out DNR has the sense not to let people shoot rifles. You can blow the s*** out of a deer with a shot gun @ 60 yds or 120 w./ muzzle loader. Rifles in populated areas (east of the Mississippi) are over the top. Besides, bows are the only real sport.
