As a hunter and member of one of the state’s oldest upland game clubs, I was pleased to see the Upper Freehold Township Committee’s supportive position of the activities at the Bent Creek Game Farm ("Hunters Ruffle Feathers in Stone Tavern Estates," Jan. 9 Examiner).
I am supportive of anyone’s right to their property and protecting it from trespassers. I continue to be amazed by individuals who move to this area to enjoy the rural character and associated activities, but want to complain about and change everything about it.
They don’t like the dust from the farms, the slow tractors on the roads, the smell from the horses and cows, the rooster crowing early in the morning — and oh, yes, the hunting.
Well, I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but these are all part of what makes up the character of a rural community.
May I suggest to all the "urban" malcontents that if these things bother you so much, that there are plenty of homes remaining back in those urban areas where you came from.
Go back to your crime, traffic, malls, dirt and landfills, where you will surely be more happy.
