Poaching is way up? Go figure. They destroy an economy, but people still need to eat.
“a second near-miss at his home”
A hit is a near miss. Was it a hit or a miss?
WTF is a “metre?” Where is he? Oh, and he is an “avid hunter” is he? Citation needed. He looks like he needs to lose weight or buy a bra.
City folks take note. Country people are careful to avoid firing rounds towards any of their neighbors houses, yards or areas of frequent human activity. Rifle rounds over 40 grains are not fired into areas that the hunter cannot see (e.g., not over a hill). No trespassing.
