"In every state -non-hunters threatened by hunters - property rights ignored! USE THE PETITION IN THIS ENTRY"
Almost every state in the Union has let hunters get totally out of control through the enactment of hunter harassment laws. Why? Because the states think they are making a lot of money off hunting.
And it turns out they also lied about the economic value of hunting to Wisconsin. All we heard for years was the great economic value of hunting to Wisconsin but the Nov. 17th Journal Sentinel did an excellent analysis of the actual economic benefit of hunting to Wisconsin. To sum it up, "everything that hunters spend money on, from guns to clothing to travel to land use , amounts to one third of the revenue generated by Briggs & Stratton", a local Corporation.So they have allowed their Departments of Natural Resources (DNR) to be staffed by hunters and those who support hunting to the exclusion of all other activities. The DNR and like depts. in other states are very limited mentally and killing is their solution to everything.
The DNR ridicules the idea of animal birth control although it has been used successfully to control deer on islands where hunting is not allowed.
Our Wisconsin DNR:
Kills swans;
Advises people to kill stray cats;
Support staff who club starving cats to death;
Built the wild deer herd for hunters until we now have 1.5 million deer in Wisconsin;
Now advocates year round hunting to exterminate the entire herd in its' "kill zone".Wisc DNR publicized the fact that it had to exterminate all deer in their " kill zone " so CWD would not spread to the rest of the state deer herd;
and demanded millions from the government to do it.Most of the farmers and retired vets and biologists in the "kill zone" fought the DNR in an organization called CAIDS but it was hopeless. Well not quite hopeless: "As of September 5th, over 70,000 acres are being protected. CAIDS volunteers are now organizing the eastern half of the area with a goal of creating over 100,000 acres of protected territory."
Meanwhile, the DNR praised their killers like this " Yeah, we got some great citizens out here really doing their duty. Yeah, some of 'em killed as many as 60 deer and fawn this year. They are really helping - really great people"
The legislators follow the DNR like sheep. Most of them are hunters, even the women.
During the last hunt the DNR found CWD in other parts of the state outside the "kill zone".
Now there is absolute silence from the bright lights at the DNR.
Killers are stupid. That is just the way it is.
My question is, what is wrong with the rest of us that we keep letting them lead us deeper and deeper into the swamp? The "hunting/butcher culture has loosed these killers on all the rest of us and the killers are made bold by those who tell them killing for sport is a legitimate pastime.
They are showing their killer hunting videos on television now. You can hear them praising each other for killing---- whew boy that was a great shot - you got him --- whoo terrific hit man -- see him jump and twist whoo I couldn't tell if you got him but you got 'em gooood! Children are with them - Children are watching on TV ---Their tolerance for killing, approval of killing for fun , is teaching children to be cruel and insensitive. These children grow up and we meet them on dark streets and in parking lots late at night.
WISCONSIN
GINNY'S STORY
I was victimized by hunter killers who used my kittens for target practice, hitting one in the spine and another in the neck -- all my cats have bullets in them. The "neighbors" were convicted but the Judge was sympathetic to them. I was then prosecuted for "allowing my cats to go in their yard". I had been forbidden to cross the property line to get my cats when they ran there. I received a sentence 10 times harsher than the killers received. I had to move as the Judge threatened to kill my cats if they went in the killers yard again. He said he would "impound" them based on nothing but the word of the killers, who lied constantly and tried to run me over on the street in front of my house.
They were excused for everything and assisted by the police. I believe this is because of the hunting culture and the hunting brotherhood. It is entirely out of hand and normal people better wake up. There is a brotherhood of child molesters, animal abusers and killers out there and they protect and cover up for one another. They are powerful and we better get organized. You think you are safe? You are not!
TEXAS
Found your article---We live in the rural area of Texas and year after year the problem with hunters is increasing. We do not lease our land for hunting. Our closest neighbor has decided to become lazy and live off deer hunters. Friday afternoon they begin to shoot at our house and we called the law. They were shooting deer on a wheat field beside our house and land, it looked like a slaughter house.Last week they wounded a deer and it came through our back yard, if we say anything to them we are
afraid they will get us for hunter harassment. Also, our neighbor has informed everyone in the neighborhood that he is in control of them and we are to mind our own business.Our local game warden and sheriff do not like these hunters, they have fined them for numerous offenses, spot lighting and kill deer at night. Fences and gates mean nothing to these hunters. This neighbor has about 20 of them on his 3,000 acres, which is way too many.
They drive by our farm to market road and throw out beer cans. Scary thought, rifle in one hand and drink in other. We need to paint COW,HORSE, and BULL on our livestock. Deer blinds: They have tied them to boundary fences and some of them are turned toward another man's land-----he doesn't lease either. Then we discover that they have a M14 assault weapon and are using the clip, repeated 75 times. Sounds like a WAR Zone.
We have mule deer and white-tail, they graze in front of my house every afternoon, but unfortunately
they do go other places.No laws or regulations about shooting toward highways, market roads,
dwellings in our county. What do we need to do in order to get some regulations to protect us? We
need help. Our county has many of the large ranches in it, they seem to bring in more and more hunters each year.Next to these large ranches are many small farms/rural homes. Got a call from one of the small farmers this morning. He has a job in the day and trys to do some of his farming in the afternoons and on weekends. Well, here's the problem----hunters across the fence told him they would file harassment charges because the tractor he was plowing with was making too much noise.
Guess he can go back to the old days of horse and plow. Also, he has small children--lives in the country and is concerned with the fact that these hunters can carry any weapon into this county without any check.
At this time the only game warden we have is taking care of several counties. We need our own.
We are also a county of many dirt roads, these hunters are costing the county major bucks. They have large 4-wheel trucks---these either leave deep, deep ruts in the mud or get stuck, then the county road graders have to try fix the roads.
I think before this hunting season is over there will be many more concerned citizens. We will work on some meetings. I hope we have a few rights left.
LOUISIANAREX'S STORY
We were here exactly six months and after the six months, they set-up this hunting club all around the town of Arcadia practically in our front door, 130 yards!We believe the timber companies; Willamette and the smaller timber companies started these hunting leases, as of this year being bought out by Weyerhauser(probably spelled wrong).
Anyway they are owned by Georgia-Pacific based in Georgia a conglomerate of monopolized billions destroying the environment with papermills that emit dioxin into the air and water.
The paint peels off of the vehicles and homes immediately surrounding these paper mills. Who knows what this does to the peoples' lungs in Monroe,La.?
And the odor of the papermill in Monroe, almost turns a persons stomach.
Sorry I got off on a tangent, one cause and effect after another in Louisiana.
We too despise hunting animals especially in hunting clubs a.k.a. known as garbage dumps, because they dump lead shot which contaminates the water supply!
We found your article is a carbon copy of the negligent State of Louisiana with governor Mike Foster who proudly supports the slaughter of innocent and defenseless Wildlife referred to as "hunting".
Happy to learn this is his last year and cannot run for re-election again! Foster also ignores the thousands of Non-hunters' and does not acknowledge Non-hunters' being shot at, threatened, and/or slandered by certain criminal hunters' that drive by, shooting in front of peoples' home and then run like cowards!
Yes, this is the "real" Louisiana hunters that target animals and people, a very thin line!
The millions of dollars received from hunters that unfortunately frequent this State does not support education, highways, nor victims of Gun Violence from hunters! These millions of dollars are used to breed more Wildlife simply to supply hunters more wildlife to slaughter!
Hunters are unfortunately "protected" by Local Law Enforcement, because the laws in Louisiana protect hunters NOT non-hunting citizens who pay billions of dollars in taxes to support the State of Louisiana.
Local Law Enforcement denies that HUNTERS:
drive by shooting in front of peoples' homes,
shoot over neighbors heads,
ricochet bullets off of neighboring trees,
cut private posted property wire fences,
build Deer "stands" on private posted property,
damage private vehicles,
dump Deer torsos in neighboring ditches,
dump Deer heads of Doe Deer in the parking lots in Wendys drive in restaurants(two heads were found during hunting "season" in Monroe, Louisiana),
stop in front of neighboring homes urinating (at 7:25 p.m.,1/11/5/02 in front of our home),
shoot assault weapons day & night
and never be prosecuted for their malicious malevolent crimes!Because local Law Enforcement never prosecutes the criminal members of hunting clubs!
Yet, they have a law against "Harassing Hunters In Louisiana" > 648.1? What about the harassment of Non-hunters' when the stupid gun blast echoes through your home when people are attempting to live in peace.
Dec. 16, 2002Just got through talking with the deputy here, we had another drive by shooting, they drove by from the woods while we were getting groceries out of the trunk of our car (they could not see our vehicle, we parked it behind our home and no lights were on), and shot six times across our new driveway we had just drove in at about 10 - 12 minutes before the shooting.
This black or navy blue Ford Ranger club cab small pickup turned off his lights as he drove by, turned around at the stop sign, came back down the road and shot six times with a pistol, semi-automatic, revolvers don't have a recoil that fast.
He pulled the trigger as fast as it would shoot, he shot towards the flea mkt approximately 1000 yards away! There are merchants, about 25 or 45 over there packing up their sale items fixing to leave. They fled towards the woods while I was standing there by the road they fired one more shot as they travelled towards the other direction towards the woods.
INDIANA
Indiana Hunter Harassment
BOB'S STORY 11/30/2002 8:37:00 AM (FROM THE FUND FOR ANIMALS WEBSITE)As a private landowner with 250ft of lake front, the IDNR told me if I do anything on my property that disturbs duck hunters or any hunter I can be arrested and subject to property confiscation. ie… fire a gun, mow my grass or anything they (the hunters) think is scaring off wildlife.
The officer also told me it would be best if I stayed out of my front yard until the hunters left around 10am (for the entire hunting season), the hunters told him that’s when they’d be done each day.
What are my rights as a land owner?

I like CATS, just as much as DOGS... However, since there are "Leash Laws" for DOGS, there should also be "Leash Laws" for CATS -- and they should be in ALL STATES, and should be ENFORCED. Most DOG owners control their pets, but most CAT owners do NOT. Over the past decade, I have spent a few hundres dollars on Flowers and Schrubs, that have all been RUINED by my (ID10T) neighbor's CATS. She has at least 8 Outdoor CATS, that run loose 24x7 - and flat refuses to keep them home or control them. Unfortunately, my local authorities will not assist, lacking any "Animal Control Ordinances" for CATS. So what are my choices ??? Sell My house and Move ??? I think not.
The LACK of cooperation by Local Authorities, are going to turn me into a CAT Murderer....Posted by BillyBob Smiff @ 03/08/2004 09:42 AM CST
