It's time to call 911 when...

[smokeythecat]

The local yahoos are outside shooting a 12 gauge WAY too close to the house. I went to the front window and could hear some shot zipping through the tree right above my head.

So I called 911. I'm going to call the DNR, I kinda think sort of it's poachers. JUST before dark. This was tonight.

They better not have hit my car! It was right under the tree.

Some people just shouldn't reproduce.

Get out there and start honking your horn.

Get out there in tan coveralls with a white hanky hanging out the back pocket, make hand antlers on your head, and do some buck snorts.

Don't worry they will know antlers without velvet is not in season.

:P

Where I live you can't shoot a shotgun or bow within 100 yds. of a dwelling. It's 300 yds. for a rifle or shotgun slug. Sometimes that don't seem like enough. Gary

 

[smokeythecat]

ToddsPoint, there are rules like that here also. I'm going outside in a few minutes to inspect the cars to see if they were hit. THEN I'm calling the DNR (Natural Resources) and see if they'll put a sting operation out here. I think it's poachers. I MIGHT move my trail camera over that side the property too.

If the car(s) were hit, smoke will come out of everyone's computer who is reading this. It will be left overs from whats coming out of my ears.

Return fire.

 

[smokeythecat]

Not a good idea to return fire. UNLESS you know they are shooting at you. Found out who did it. Film at 11.

AM or PM?

 

[smokeythecat]

Two sets of folks. One set was confronted (by another neighbor). The other unknowns will need a setup to get them. DNR will do that.

 

[Megalodon]

Good luck with the yahoos. The cats are strictly indoors?

 

[RustyRelics]

Oh dem thar country bumpkins! I may be considered one myself, but that's pure stupidity! I have a ton of them around where I live who have done things like that, and probably will do things like that again.

 

[RustyRelics]

Return fire.

I would be the first one to shoot back. See how they like the sound of rounds whizzing past their ears.

Smokey, that wasn't.........the Darlin's was it? Had they crossed over the Robert E. Lee natural bridge with their shotguns? I reckon every neighborhood unfortunately has some nuts running about. We live in a subdivision, one street 1 mile off the main road to the cul Dr sac. We live just short of the cup Dr sac. We have a very young couple of Darlins who live just off the cul rd sac that enjoys riding their 4 wheelers up and down the street occasionally at 12:00 at night. There is some strange goings on at times at the Darlin compound at all hours. We know what this usually means. Andy and Barney have been called to the compound a time of two. I hope you can get these knuckleheads with weapons taken care of before someone is hurt or their property damaged. Grown adults should know better but some elevators stop short of the top floor. Some of these mugs ought to be put on posters in support of Planned Parenting.

I kid that our neighborhood watch is through crosshairs. All of our neighbors are shooters, most are hunters. But we have 20 acres and others have that or much more and it's almost all wooded except for yards.

Some years ago we had friends over and were sitting on the back deck. There are a pair of maple trees right beside the deck. We heard a W-z-z-z-z-z-z! . . . followed by a distant "Boom" as a bullet passed through the leaves just over our heads from a direction where the nearest houses are over a mile away . . . so we moved the party indoors.

Somebody with four legs has been picking off our chickens and there will be a shot or several when we finally meet and greet each other. Day or night. All just part of the fun of living just west of East Bugnut.

Thats sounds terrible. Thank God I live in the Bronx!

Where is redjamescash when you need him?
He would handle them yahoos for ya

 

[smokeythecat]

Magalodon, the cats are inside. I called the DNR and they said (almost) "go fish!" They can't or won't do anything.

Walmart does not sell howitzers (just kidding). It's too dangerous to go outside with bullets whizzing overhead.

 

[Megalodon]

If close enough to be dangerous, you could try your local police or state police. I only call the state police because in my county, the local cops are just a security force for a big polluter (I've been stopped and harassed by the local cops twice for having a bumper sticker on my truck opposing the LNG refinery in my old neighborhood).

 

[smokeythecat]

They were called. Never saw one.
