Homer Henry stopped short of characterizing the law breakers that have harassed the Castleton area for the past four to six weeks as hunters - even slob hunters. “We’ve been bothered by deer killers,” Henry said. They’re not hunters!” He reported that he’s counted as many as 17 vehicles at a time parked at an intersection, two to three men to a car, guns loaded and ready, waiting for their dogs to drive deer off posted land onto the road.
