They have no respect for the rest of us and will climb fences and ride their ATV's through non fenced land. Last year, we were at our pool relaxing and all at once blam, blam and bird shot rained down on our heads.
Mr. Ing asked them to shoot over their own land and this year he said he was going to get his gun and shoot back ( he really won't do that) :ohno Hatfields and McCoys :laugh
But the funny part of this story is... 2 days later I was walking and found a bird that had been shot in the wing, I bundled the bird up and took it to a wildlife rehabilitator to see if they could save its wing. She looked at the bird and ask "Where did you find it?" our neighbors had a dove hunt ... " This isn't a Dove, this is a Pigeon ". So instead of having a Dove hunt they had a Pigeon Hunt. :laugh
The Pigeon was able to be saved and would be use in their educational programs.
We do enjoy their big fireworks display at the 4th of July, until they get drunk and have a bottle rocket war. They shoot bottle rockets at each other and since they aren't shooting in the air the rockets fly straight and end up everywhere.:ohno
So, I guess there is just going to be noise, in town or out with the rednecks.:)
