Greenways Most hunters are responsible and ethical people, but there are those who have no regard for either ethics or public safety. Some hunters even bait deer out of greenways into the subdivisions where they live so they can shoot them in their backyards. This is unethical, a public safety hazard, and extremly disturbing to the neighbors. Wounded Animals Hunters, especially bow hunters, are not always successful in killing the animal being hunted. Sometimes they just wound them.
Wounded animals are confused, scared, unpredictable, and sometimes even dangerous.
A deer shot through the heart can still run a hundred yards before dropping. Some Wake County residents have had deer, shot by a nearby hunter, die in their backyards. Violence Children and other sensitive people should not have to be subjected to the recreational killing of animals. Our children have the right to feel safe in their homes. Calls to the Wake County Sheriff's Office During hunting season, the Wake County Sheriff's office is flooded with complaints regarding guns being fired near people's homes.
