Hunting is permitted most everywhere in this county that is more than
500' from occupied buildings, by property owner or with written
permission of property owner. There are plenty of dangerous critters
that I've sighted on my property; black bear, cougar, coyote, several
types of poisonous snakes, even does will attack when with fawns and
you inadvertantly surprise them.
