Well Nicholas and I went to my best friends house to do a little hunting yesterday. Nicholas, 10 years old and not knowing, went over the property line onto the neighbors by about 10 feet.It was not marked so he had no idea. Now you have to know this property owner to really understand. She has lived in town all her life and I have known her equally as long and she knows me. Her entire family, Mother,Father, and brother has been in jail or done hard time for drug related issues. Her daughters have been suspended from school to many times to count for fighting and other stuff. I saw her approach Nicholas to let him know that he was a little to close and he stopped right away and headed back the other way. She never did approach me about the situation so I went about my hunting and figured it would be a VERY good lesson for my 10 year old son.
After a few wheat's we began hunting the city side of the sidewalk with her sitting on her front porch watching use like a hawk. We worked our way to the front of her house, city side of course, and then past, pulling several wheat's. It wasn't long and the local city officer (Mark, also a friend of mine
) showed up in her drive way. We continued hunting and a few minutes later the officer came walking down sidewalk to us. Apparently she thought beings she mows to the road that she owns the other side of the sidewalk as well. She was informed other wise and that I had every right to hunt any part of city property.
The thing that bothers me the most is that she approached a 10 year old little boy but wouldn't say anything to me. (Probably a good thing!!) After Mark left we hunted a little farther down the sidewalk and then turned around. As we got closer to the front of her house she left the porch and went inside staring out the window at us. I made sure that I hunt the city property in front of her house very well and spent a few extra minutes.
On a good note Nicholas and I did manage to rescue 15 wheat's yesterday and a little over $2.00 in clad.
