Another neighbor "harvested" our pear trees every year, once while we were outside watching him!! Both said they always had, just because we now owned it wasnt going to stop them.
But--We have a hill across the creek behind our house that makes a good backdrop, few years of "that crazy "ole lady" sighting in the guns there changed their minds. really funny, one time, first guy had on a orange deer jacket, seemed target range was about 300' behind him as he was running. Talk of the coffee shop in town for awhile.

Oh everyone knows how I am,because when I first bought this property I pulled a Gun on a Guy camped here.

Now as far as cutting Bee Trees.My FIL thought he only had one Bee Tree on the place,showed it to me,told me not to cut it.Well I found several,so every so often I would rob one.Soon as he seen I had Honey he would run down see if I had cut his tree.

I just finished with replanting 12 acres of 20+ ft tall Loblolly pines that were toasted to a crisp by a careless cigarette. Had to drum chop before replanting due to the debris. My loss was nearly 6 years of time and $2400 for replanting as a result of a smokers ignorance. Obviously I am not a happy camper over this.

Should be a nett gain - provided you put the bullet only through soft tissue like the throat, and the autopsy can't show he was shot.
