Not much to discuss. I see it as no different than live beside a major highway and complaining of cars and trucks passing.

you dont want golfballs in your yard.....dont buy a house next to a golf course.....we do try to be considerate and give way but in some places...like the great turtle bowl, its really hard to get away from all the houses...

I just slip in there all stealthy and shit and kill em all.

Problem can be fixed by resident with pair of blinds and fan.

If you live next to a PUBLIC lake, then you have to assume the public will use that lake at all hours. The PUBLIC lake does not become your personal property when the sun goes down. You do not have any right to a buffer around your private property. You will encounter some loud noises at night and early morning.

Let the yankees/liberal/democrats take away bowfishing and it opens the door for taking way duck hunting and similar outdoor activites that involve loud noise.

Had a friend almost get shot by a guy around 11:00PM one night and ended up having the game warden called on him.

The house was in the back of a secluded shallow cove on Lake Lanier here in North GA. My buddy was doing his thing and basically had the entire cove lit up. The light was reflecting off the water and lighting up the overhanging limbs/woods. The land owner came running down his yard toward the water toting a shotgun and game warden was soon to follow. It was a huge misunderstanding...the home owner thought my friend was shining deer and night hunting the woods around the cove and called the local game warden.

Not many folks bowfishing this area so the home owner had no idea what was going on!

You guys ever had anything similar happen around houses?

I was working in my garden at the lake house one morning years ago, and a water gnat tried to stop my tranquility. Seriously 10 am on a Sunday morning all I could hear was weeeeeee weeeeee weeeeeee, I jumped in my jonboat with a grab rake. I couldn't catch the kid.

ive gotten into so many pissing matches with homeowners on lake greenwood, but usually my glock and badge keep them at bay once they see it... There is absolutely nothing they can do about it!!!

I get heak on lake greenwood, and contrary to belief, its the damn rednecks that come out and raise hell rather than the uppitty folk.

usually try to make a late night pass back by and hide something dead close by.
