Alaskajim.....what you reported in Rusk county is very common place where I live and we've never been shotgun only. I live about 40 mi se of Rusk county. Our Rural areas have absolutely "popped" with newer homes built out in what used to be dairy farm country.
A buddy of mine had a boat ruined this summer by a bullet hole in the roof of his shed. It rained like crazy this spring. Apparrently the bullet hole happened last fall and he never knew it. As crazy as it sounds he had his boat in the back of the shed where he never walked by it and he apparently was never in the shed when it was raining. He found the boat totally full of water this fall and the floor totally rotted out. He went up on the roof and found an elongated bullet hole coming from the direction of a field where the hunting crew is known to be quite trigger happy. Luckily my buddy is also a hunter although he's still not to happy with this falls "find"!
