When I began hunting in my early years, my dad would not let me go out during deer season. He said it was too dangerous. He said a farmer friend of his actually painted the word COW on one of his cows because he was worried some jerk would shoot it. And that was in NJ were you could not hunt deer with rifles, only shot guns and only with buck shot, no rifle slugs.
I heard about a painted cow that got shot right in the middle of the “O.”
Where did you go to school in NJ? I grew up in South Jersey and a classmate from junior High told me the very same story!
Where do all the city-slickers go to hunt during hunting season? To the rural areas. Dumb ba$$-tards are downright idiotic and therefore dangerous to themselves. A biggy? Hunting a farmer’s land without first asking! Fired many a round to hustle them fools off our land!
