"Still, Burke Road resident Cyndi Ellis, who has children ages 7, 11 and 13, is hesitant to let her kids play outside or let her dog out.
"It's not fair for the children to be locked in the house from September to January,""
Hmmm...funny. Folks have been hunting behind my parents' house for years and I managed to live there for 25 years without getting shot-amazing! Seriously, these people have some nerve.

Seems to be a very common mindset in NJ. Guns are bad, no matter whether legal, or illegal, and no matter whether they're in the hands of a sportsman, or in the hands of a gangbanger in Camden or Newark... They're just bad and evil. And if someone has a gun near a child, that child is going to die.
Unfortunately I think we'll have to deal with this more and more in New Jersey until people finally wise up and realize that covering the entire state in blacktop and concrete is a fundamentally bad idea. You have people who come from the cities and suburbs with a lot of money and a desire for "the great outdoors" in the form of a McMansion and a 1 acre plot of manicured grass. Unfortunately these people don't wish to assimilate into a rural way of life, they wish to impose their suburban way of life on the area they move to. These people have absolutely no respect for the people that were there first. They also have no concept of what it means to live outside the "city limits."
For example, a farmer my dad knows in the Cranbury area received a complaint from a McMansion owner whose home sits across the street from the farm. It seems when he was turning over his field he was "making too much dust." WTF? Also, another farmer in Hamilton had folks from a neighboring development attempting to get a petition together in order to stop him from using propane cannons to scare birds away. Luckily the Right to Farm Act exempts farmers from noise restrictions. You should have seen the look on the guy's face when I refused to sign the petition :rofl:

Same thing in alot of places in this nation, these city slicker yuppies move to a McMansion in a rural area wanting to "get away from it all". Then they complain about deer, bears, hunters, farmers, and bugs.
Maybe it's time we knock down the McMansion and let the field where it used to be flourish with pine seedlings. Now that's an idea!
good for you.. the only thing you could have done better would have been grabbing the petition and ripping it up..
same thing is happening in tabernacle NJ.. along caranza road, our family friends have a farm.. well, the farmer was driving his "produce to market" (on rt 70) and some guy had to pass him and was screaming at him and telling him off.. i say "let the city folk stay there !" just my 0.02..
PA has a right to hunt statute; does NJ?
I've seen strange looks and soccer mom's mouths going 90MPH driving by me when armed and walking on the edge of the state forest roadway in the Poconos even though my presence was legal [and my rifle was empty though I don't expect a soccer mom to notice that!] as well as the amount of McMansions sprouting up on the fringes of the state forest...
Though most of the McMansions around some townships in NJ are on alot less than an acre...must be a city folks thing; build a half million dollar house on a postage stamp sized lot and only look out the rear facing windows to get the illusion that you are alone while you have neighbors 15 feet away on either side!
