That's good.
In the past, there seemed to be many reports of "accidental shootings". (Usually out-of-state hunters shooting other hunters).
Regarding islands, where are these "harvested" deer gutted-out?
My neighbor can tell you.
(Under high-water conditions, Wolfeboro Neck becomes an island). Over 100 acres of Wolfeboro Neck is posted against hunting, but guess who maintains a tree stand in the middle of that acreage?
A tenant's kid handed me a bone cut-through with saw marks. It was found in shallow water--under my dock.
On a walk with a Wolfeboro friend, I asked my companion, "This is a tiny State Park with lots of markings of antlered deer, but where are the deer?" She answered, "Look behind you". So that I wouldn't be contributing to the delinquency of deer, I'd carried a banana peel in my back pocket.
Five deer were following me!
