North of Reisterstown, I'm afraid many guys who belive they're hunters are simply rank amateurs. We've had several incidences of "hunters" who shot over our property while family members were in our yard, then explain, "I didn't mean to shoot. It was an accident." They've shot on other property in the area that was posted , "But we've been hunting here for the last 5 years!" Yes, it was legal, but were was the sportsmanship when our last pheasant was shot by some "hunters" who knew where he hung out. This escapade was witnessed by a local farmer who used to hunt years ago on Old Hanover Rd. Gail Frantz Reisterstown, MD
