The latest NB DNR website shows the legal distance for shotguns (small shot sizes) at 100m. I believe this is a new change from the 200m in past years.
I feel we could negatively affect the public opinion towards hunting if we do not use some judgment on how close we are shooting to houses. If I start shooting at 7am on a Saturday morning 105 meters from someones house there is a good chance they will be upset and calling the DNR/police.
I hope we all use some common sense and courtesy when deciding how close to houses we set up. I know if I am going to be under the 200 meters, I will be giving the home owners a little "heads-up" on what they can expect in the next few days.
What do the rest of you think about this?
