Poachers

Today Ryan Dodd (Warren's age) called to say there were three deer shot on the property between his land and ours. Some Yahoo or Yahoos, driving around with a loaded gun in their truck, must have seen the deer from the road and just shot them from their truck, not bothering to take them away for meat.

Who would do something like that? I think it must have been more than one, because it must be difficult to get the next two deer after you've just fired at the first one. Wouldn't they run away?

Ryan said he saw a green truck down by the creek quarter about a kilometer away. He doesn't think they would have done it because they looked like actual hunters, who would be shooting for meat. But he thinks maybe they might have noticed someting.

Mom and I went for a walk this morning. We were going to go have a wee look at the deer from the road. But Ryan's got a German Shepherd dog just older than a puppy that's always looking for something interesting to do. He followed us for awhile even though Mom shouted very aggressively, 'Git! Go Home!'. And the silly thing doesn't have the sense not to run in front of the huge feedlot trucks that are always going back and forth. So in the end we decided to turn back to make the dog go home.

I still can't believe someone just to shoot three deer from their truck and then leave them for nothing in the field. What assholes.
