To me it's simple. I own land and like most other landowners feel that deed affords me a certain level of personal sovereignty. It's my own personal space I worked hard and earned.


Same thing with urbanite home owners. If I can expect my property sovereignty to be respected then it would be incredibly hypocritical not to afford the same courtesy to them. If they wanted to be around hunting they'd have bought a place in the country. I don't have to understand their hippy liberal ways to respect their rights to have them. If there's a chance that killing a deer will genuinely cause discomfort and inconvenience by dying on their property, then I simply won't hunt. They shouldn't be forced to accept and tolerate it on their own property. Liberty and justice for all, not only the ones our personal beliefs align with.


I'm a hunter and if I were to find someone else's dead deer in my flower garden next to the house, I'd be a bit ticked off. Even though I live in the country when I kill a deer, I back the truck into the barn and hoist the animal out from the bed. My neighbors probably know what's happening but they don't have to see it, nor could they without stepping into my barn. It's a courtesy, being cognizant of others and their feelings. Seems to be a lost trait these days.
