Just had our first incident of the year tonight. I was doe hunting with my bow and heard 11 shots ring out on the border of one of my properties as I was getting out of my stand tonight. Long story short......an Amish guy that moved into the area a few months ago asked a neighbor two days ago if he could hunt the field south of our property......the neighbor told him he didn't own the field but he assumed if there were no pick up trucks parked at the field.........he assumed it might be OK.

That was all this amish guy needed to hear. He even told the neighbor thanks and it would just be him hunting.

Well.......guess what. He goes and gets his Amish buddy to come with him........both emptied their guns at the herd that came out........one button buck and one doe on the ground and who knows how many wounded as they shot at every running deer they could till they were both out of bullets.

As we confronted them tonight, they admitted they did not know who owned the field, said they only shot 2 times, and the first Amish that had talked to the neighbor admited he lied about bringing in friends.

Call was placed to the landowner tonight that lives in Tennessee.........charges are going to be pressed on both. We then found out that the "buddy" (second amish dude)of the first Amish guy had been arrested recently for attacking a police officer.

I'm delighted to tell you........I actually had more fun pinching these Amish Thugs than hunting tonight.

This late doe season/Any weapons has turned into a "Free For All".......I swear people will shoot till there are none left. Will be checking the woods tomorrow to see if any of the fleeing deer they shot at were hit and recoverable.

Pure Amish Thugs..........and they paid for it tonight.

Thought this was fitting for this thread.

And one more thing........if you haven't commented on the extension of our season to Chad Stewart, Your sitting Senator, and our new Governor Mike Pence..........get off your AZZZ and do it now!! Severe Damage is being done to our deer herd, and to sit silently and watch is half criminal itself in my book.

Write those letters.........
