I've told this story on here once before but truly love it:
I'm guessing it must have been in November a few years back when I could hear guns going off like crazy in my "backyard" - the wooded area on the other side of the creek.
I promptly called the local sheriff and explained what was going on. The sheriff had the best Smokey and the Bandit sheriff's drawl you'd ever hear and all he said was: "Ma'am it's hunting season".
I explained that I live in a "subdivision" and these were big gun shots and lots of them. "Ma'am it's hunting season".
I explained that I owned the property on the other side of the creek and that all of the newer homes over there don't have any property and they've cut down all of their trees so they must be hunting on my property. "Ma'am it's hunting season".
I explained that I could be shot in my own backyard. "Ma'am it's hunting season".
In exasperation I finally hung up. At the time it was not a bit funny but I grew to love the way you can call them for anything - cat up a tree - and before you can hang up the phone there's 4 cop cars, two cops each, the paramedics, ambulance and a fire truck but call them and say there's a pack of crazed hunters in your backyard and "Ma'am it's hunting season".
