Neighbor woman called today in a swivet wanting to know if I had fired a rifle in the back yard. No, not me. "Well, someone just shot a rifle near you and they should not be shooting so close to houses"
Got on my ATV and rode out to the back of the place, found an neighbor had killed a little doe just across the fence in his grandfather's place. Perfectly legal, no matter where the houses are. He was shooting down into a ravine, as safe as shooting on the range. We have no rocks here and ricochets are almost impossible when shooting into a ravine. The wind just happened to be right to carry the sound to our neighbor lady.
