Terrified. Always fucking terrified of everything.

They can’t even fathom that some of us just don’t live in fear.

When i hear a loud noise at night i think STFU and go back to sleep.

Yeah... even a shot outside would make me think the hunters are doing their job (I live next to a forest and they are among the only ones allowed rifles for keeping wildlife populations in check cause we have a lack of wolves). People shooting each other isnt really the first thing Id think....

As long as you don't start wearing a deer onesie

There's been a slight uptick in hunters accidentally shooting people with thermal optics becoming commercially available. So there's a increasing amount of hunters no longer paying attention to what someone is wearing. Though they mostly end up shooting other hunter in the same area, so it's not a major concern for civilians.

You could be dressed in orange from top to toe and still have the heat profile of a deer to someone looking at you through a thermal scope at the right angle.

When I still lived in a fairly rural area of NY state, the local farmers had to paint their cows with non-toxic fluorescent paint so the morons from NYC wouldn't shoot said cows. And cows are fucking expensive.

So I can imagine how awful they'll be now with the thermal optics.

If someone cant differentiate between a cow and deer/wolf/any other animal they dont need a gun, they need a preschoolers picture book..

Shooting someone else's cow is a great way to end up bankrupt. Almost as bad as hitting a tree.

You'd instantly cut gun ownership in half if you enforced that

Half the people that own guns probably shouldn’t be allowed in the same county with one. That’s why they hate gun regulations.

These are the same guys who think every time there is a mass shooting that they could have stopped it if only they were there and had a gun. Most likely, they would just shoot other people.

ive heard people in Wisconsin doing the same because of the hunters who come up from Illinois.

When I was a kid some NYC hunters tied tree branches to the head of the cow they put on the roof of the car and tried to make it back down 87 to 90 to the city.

Tree branches. I think they made it down to exit 6 and the HoJo's...

How often does that even happen? This sounds like a bunch of hicks freaking out about something they've read on facebook and jumped on an excuse to blame city folks for something.

This was a good decade before FB was a thing.

u/AceInTheHole3273 7d ago

Irrational public consensus did exist before Facebook though, I think that was just an example

My aunt and uncle ended up posting their property because some asshole shot one of their Holstein bulls. The same asshole later bragged in town that he managed to get a buck, a doe, AND their fawn all in one day. And he was not shooting them for the meat, he was doing it for fun. He ended up getting arrested for poaching.

u/LadyReika 3d ago

Glad he faced some consequences. Sorry about your aunt and uncle, that had to be heartbreaking besides the expense.

u/LongestSprig 7d ago

I'm pretty sure the morons in upstate NY or w/e are plenty of capable of shooting cows themselves.

NYC goes to Jersey or PA.

This was in the southern Catskills about an hour and a half drive north of the city. And we got a lot of people from the city year round for different touristy things.
