Presumably that is why the author chose not to include useful information, such as what location allowed Mr. Lobifaro to be "sitting in his truck," "in the woods," "seeking for a place to hunt," convenient to a barking moonbat and a "throng of neighborhood youngsters." Did the aforementioned moonbat bus the "throng" out to public lands for which Mr. Lobifaro had a hunting permit? Were they trespassing on his private property or leased property?
Inquiring minds familiar with hunting want to know!
There are deer in my neighborhood, but the city doesn't allow hunting in my front yard, no matter how much some of my neighbors would enjoy harvesting the bambirats.
The domesticated deer in my town will literally look at you ugly if you try to shoo them away. I have more love for the mice in my walls than the bambirats (btw that's an awesome word).
I agree that shotgun hunting on private property in my town where homes are close together isn't smart. I'd love to show the local anti-hunters a compound bow and how that helps address overpenetration and friendly fire. Alas, these people don't love safety; they hate hunting.
In the northeast one can bowhunt in the burbs and most intelligent burbites welcome it because the areas are crawling with Lymes infested ticks that are vectored by deer
I have deer strolling across my back deck on a regular basis. Had one a couple of weeks ago that spent a lazy afternoon lounging in my back yard.
He was parked on the side of a freshly paved street in what appeared to be an upscale neighborhood with kids playing down the street........I asked before, why was he in that location?
Here in S.E. Michigan north of Detroit, it's heavily populated and these small wooded areas all harbor deer and the only thing controlling their populations are automobiles.
And another thing, I grew up in northern Michigan in the 50's thru the 60's and I never saw a turkey in my life. Now they're everywhere down here and you see them in the darndest places.
