Well here's a tale from my backyard. Hunting season starts tomorrow. I always have a few gorgeous bucks in my yard this time of year and the neighborhood, to protect ourselves, post our property and chain up the driveways - normally tonight.
This morning about 4:30 I hear crashing outside. My favorite buck is racing to the backyard followed by 2 big hunters, fully outfitted, carrying guns. Dogs break out, lots of shouting and as I'm dialing the police they start screaming at me that the govt is collapsing and they are just trying to feed their families so get out of the way...
So it starts.

Press charges, I know it's a pain, the property is posted and there is probably a law about firing within a certain range of a residence. My wife's Mom had to to get it to stop. This type has no respect for your property or the law.

Don't tread on me

Our local law enforcement are great here and I learned a long time ago not to confront by myself. So these hunters are already on their way to the pokey.
It's the raw aggression referring to the govt as failing and having to take matters into their own hands that sets these guys apart.
Buck cracks me up, he's already back munching grass about 10 feet from the window.
