Even when undertaken legally, on public or private lands, the guys (and women) behind the guns don't seem to understand the impact of the gunshot and how it affects everything in the ecosystem -- from the owls, to the deer, to us. The impact is chilling indeed. <br /><br />I used to be far more tolerant of hunting. But as I've grown older and seen so much animal suffering (especially now that I'm involved in rescue, the injured animals not retrieved by hunters) in the areas where I live and photograph, I've become much more hardened to the sounds of autumn and the often careless shooters autumn brings with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-25310762599707955392007-11-04T18:36:00.000-05:002007-11-04T18:36:00.000-05:00I've was at the opposite end of the spectrum regar...I've was at the opposite end of the spectrum regarding hunters. They are very protective of their territory. They lease land from farmers. I have permission from one of the land owners to bird on their land. Some of the hunters in this area get really nasty when I ru nint to them.

Once there, it happened faster than I imagined--and a call to 911, though I had my phone for that reason, would likely have gotten little response.<BR/>We have no police--just sheriff, who covers entire county--a huge area. And I doubt this type of conflict would've warranted a drive to our township.nina at Nature Remains.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07888238636692649668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-28324491230186408412007-11-03T21:22:00.000-04:002007-11-03T21:22:00.000-04:00Nina, if this happens again, please, please dial 9...Nina, if this happens again, please, please dial 911, and let the police handle it, OK? There are a lot of kooks in this world and some deer hunters are still stupid enough to drink while they're hunting. Please don't take the chance of confronting a person holding a loaded firearm--especially if they're somewhere they shouldn't be and think they won't get caught.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-71694928062092719172007-11-03T20:09:00.000-04:002007-11-03T20:09:00.000-04:00Sorry your tranquil place was tainted that way.Sorry your tranquil place was tainted that way.LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-66736450320839860212007-11-03T07:30:00.000-04:002007-11-03T07:30:00.000-04:00This again illustrates how differently people see ...This again illustrates how differently people see things.
