The Columns

Today is the day prior to hunting season, today I almost had heart failure after hearing multiple gun fire from my neibors home. This has been an ongoing problem from the same individual year after year. The police will do nothing and say it is a civil matter and must be handled in civil court.

I think I speak for everyone on this side of the neighborhood, we are fed up with the dangerouse disregard for our peace and safety. This resident is in violation of article 19, para 2 No hunting of any type will be permitted in the development, nor will discharge of firearms be permitted therein.

I can understand if you are defending yourself, or if you come upon a poisonous snake but this is not the case. I have been hearing the precution of hi power firearms all day.

This year I will not go through with this any more.

Anyone with me?

Thanks Karl Briggs.

Gunshots in Buckfield

I've noticed a quietier hunting season within the confines of Buckfield this year ... thanks! But, around dusk almost every evening, we hear several loud retorts coming from the 100 acre MeadWestvaco parcel across Buckhorn Road from our first gate. I think Ol' Dave Colbaugh, the hunter, unloads his gun through the muzzle before he climbs down from his tree perch. There's not much we can do about that, but it sure shatters the quiet we have come to really enjoy out here. Keep up the fight!
