On a matter carried over from their August meeting, the supervisors affirmed their decision not to enact local ordinances which would make it illegal to carry loaded rifles or shotguns on public rights-of-way. The ordinances had been considered as a means to combat the couhty’s continuing problem with “slob hunters” who shoot from the road onto posted property.
“Those ordinances are not going to correct anything,” maintained Supervisor Newbill Miller. “A hunter can eject a shell between the time the game warden blows his whistle and when he pulls his truck over.”
“I’d like us to do something,” said Supervisor Nelson Lane, adding that “slob hunters” are a particular problem in his district.
“The Game Commission sells the hunting licenses. They should police this and quit trying to pass the buck to the localities,” said Mr. Miller, meeting agreement among his fellow board members to write the Game Commission expressing this position in more polite terms and asking for a statewide solution to the statewide problem of “hoodlum hunters.” The board also agreed to ask Sheriff John Henry Woodward to increase his road patrols during deer hunting season.
