They are NOT DEER. Learn the difference.
We had one guy at about 8:45 am today, in a newer (possibly 2017) white Ford F150 crew cab with a white box stop on the road, get out & close his door. He had eyed our relaxing jersey cow, who could be seen from the road. She is NOT a deer.
This idiot approached our property from a direction that our house, yard and vehicles, including our barn yard & light, could be seen.
When he saw someone running up toward him, he quickly got back in and sped away.
Worse than shooting our milk cow, we also have children out doing chores & playing on our property, & we have more livestock out there at all times. Our kids know to watch for these shooting fools (that believe they are mighty hunters), and know precautions, but there is still always a risk as we've learned in the past... even being in the open front yard. Truly scary.
Shooters: Learn what a deer is. Learn what a cow & a horse is. Hunt with permission. Dont shoot from the road. It is ILLEGAL for a reason. Hunt with respect and do it properly. Be a hunter, not a shooter. If you can't abide by the rules to keep everyone safe, STAY HOME.
We don't want dead kids & cows.
I know this statement will most likely be ignored by the fools that want to continue doing this. Those who do, may you get caught & suffer the consequences.

The crazy thing about all of your requests, is that what you are asking for, is covered in courses and enforceable by law. You're right, they should STAY HOME or suffer serious consequences. This behavior has been going on for too long and is becoming more and more frequent as all the old hillbillies teach their youngins 'everything they know'.
