author=cambygsp.... I don't hunt anywhere near Geist, and I don't hunt waterfowl.....so I don't have a dog in that fight.
Very selfish attitude Camby. At least everyone now knows not to count on your vote if it doesn't directly affect your personal hunting.

The most recent edition of Guns & Ammo had an article about the increasing use of firearms ordinances to limit hunting. It seemed to me that Pennsylvania came up with the best solution to this growing problem. It is now state law that game management supersedes local ordinances. Local prohibition against discharging firearms simply don't apply if the person is in the act of hunting.

The Peoga Lakes Neighborhood Association (in Northern Brown County) has banned deer hunting this year (2005)........ Were you there to fight that?

Essentiality, what you have living up in Marion Co. is a bunch of Rich SUV driving snobs, living in Huge Million Dollar Homes, that simply want to run the county to their own liking. And the Hell with everyone else who resides in Marion Co.

These same people (same type of people anyhow) have been trying to close down Indiana Gun Club (which is right there in Geist) for a long time.

I have had a lot going on...... BUT had I known about Peoga Lake and their "ban" on deer hunting you can damn well rest assured I would have been involved in making sure that didn't happen!... Oh, one other thing, I haven't hunted deer in Brown County for 20 years............ I try and stand on principle and facts regardless if it directly effects me. If it effects something that I love and believe in then I fight the fight regardless of where it is located. Some day I might have to fight for my own home turf and I would like to think other like minded individuals would come to my aide!. FIGHT ON!

If you would like to go back and show us where you posted this was taking place, and that you or someone else involved came and asked for help, then i'll apologize. Awful hard to be involved when you don't know it is happening.

Common since and a little consideration goes a long way toward perserving your privilage to hunt in certian areas. www.etruth.com/News/Content.aspx?ID=359870&page=On the hunt Some residents say hunters too close to property Published: Thursday, November 03, 2005 -- The Truth, A1 Last updated: 11/2/2005 11:06:26 PM By Justin Leighty Truth Staff GOSHEN -- Fall in Indiana means residents of rural areas -- and areas that aren't so rural anymore -- in the county are likely to start seeing a lot of hunters. By all accounts, the majority of hunters in this area obey the laws and common sense. Just last weekend, in preparation for deer firearms season, which starts at the end of next week, 150 people took hunter education classes offered in the county, said Conservation Officer Ken Wade. Even so, a few hunters already have run afoul of some area residents who are concerned with hunting happening too close to their property. Dottie Arnold said she and her neighbors on the north side of the upper St. Joseph River have had problems with lead birdshot raining down from duck hunters on the south side of the river. "We aren't the only ones who've had pellets rain down on our deck and hit our windows. We haven't had anything broken, but we aren't the only ones," she said. Her neighbor, Sara Elkin, said she heard shot hit her deck and dog pen Friday morning. A week before that, she found shot on the deck. "I don't like them hunting in my back yard. We have a friend who's an avid hunter, and he said he'd never hunt anywhere close to anyone's house," Elkin said. Arnold said, "There are times when you wonder when you go out there if you're going to be shot at. My only issue is a safety issue. There are children out in the yards. ... it just doesn't seem like it's a very safe thing to do." Elkin said, "If it is legal to do something like that, the law needs to be changed." It is legal. There's no county ordinance against shooting, even in populated areas, though under certain circumstances a hunter could be charged with criminal recklessness. "We've got a lot of subdivisions, and people will hunt near those," Wade said. "There is no distance from a house you have to be away from," he said. However, "if you do something stupid, you're responsible. The bullet's still yours, no matter where it goes. You get credit for it," he said. Hunters must have the permission of the landowner to hunt on private property, and they have to have a license and legal weapons. "There are a few hunters, bad apples, that get lazy and want to cheat," Wade said. "Those are the guys we want to know about." The good news is that the responsible hunters don't put up with the bad apples. "We get a lot of complaints from other hunters," Wade said. People just need to realize this time of year that hunters will be out there, Wade said. "You can trust most of them. They're not out there to shoot up everything. "The majority of hunters are legal, ethical, safe people," he said.

......And this is the reason the sport of hunting is dying in many parts of our country, including many areas/counties of our own State.

This is pretty close to where I live, and the story is interesting to say the least. As usual there are two sides to every story, and I do think the hunters could relocate, but the lady quotted in the story, Sara Elkin, is on the board of the local Humane Society. Wonder why she's making a huge stink! I also heard that the hunting disturbed her "dinner party", not raining shot on her deck. That being said, I do not condone hunting in populated areas where this could happen. Just gives hunters another black eye.

jstalljon,
You're right..
But, unfortunately a lot of "populated areas" are moving into the hunting areas..

One positive thing, that will slow the "Urban Spraw" into Hunting areas, is the rising Mortgage rates. During the past 15 or so years we have seen historically low mortgage on homeloans as low as 5.5%. This low rate is currently comming to an end, and this should allow what's left of our hunting areas to remain wild & untouched.

Don't underestimate the ability of others to be stupid Drs , after all the ordinance was asked for by folks stupid enough to move right next to an active hunting area and complain about shot raining down . This is the same kind of dumbazz that moves nextdoor to a hog farm and complains about the smell . All they really had to do was call a CO and the guilty guys with the shotguns would have been asked to move on . My nextdoor neighbors are "nature lovers" , and you should have seen their faces when I stopped by to introduce myself and informed them that I intended to hunt on my property . I assured them that I meant primarily bow hunting , but that I fire guns occasionally and wouldn't rule out gun hunting . The lady of the house looked visibly upset , but kept her mouth shut . Why do people move to the country and then try to change it into the city that they moved away from in the first place ? PS: I'll bet it really rattles ther cages when I break out the 10-22 with three 50 round clips and blaze away some stress . Hee , hee, hee ! ;D

City People moving out into the country bringing their "City Ways"!! Where I live in Vanderburgh County, we have had four subdivisions spring up around us. I own 15 acres, but still hunt deer, squirrels, and rabbits with FIREARMS. Shotgun slug & Muzzleloader for Deer, and .22 LR for Squirrel. Not many rabbits around anymore. The neighbors all know I target shoot and hunt, so they don't complain as they know its me and they know I am a careful Hunter. If things get to the point where I can't hunt on my own land then we'll sell out. My property is worth over a Million Dollars, home included (Very Prime area) anyway and I can buy some suitable land in a more RURAL area either in Kentucky or Indiana. ;D P.S. If I were you I wouldn't "Rattle their Cages" by doing that type of shooting with your 10/22 Ruger.

It's cool , the rest of my neighbors are old school country folk . I'm respectful enough not to shoot during church hours , and never do it before 9:00 am , so the bunny huggers don't have any support . Their sons sounded interested when I mentioned shooting guns , I see some potential for corr ... uh ..."mentoring" there ... ;D
