With deer hunting season under way, Williamson city council discussed Nov. 4 hunting activities inside the city limits that violate several state laws. According to a member of council, on Oct. 25 and Nov. 2 a resident saw a pick-up truck drive into the area after dark and pick up or drop off another resident to bow hunt.

Trying to civilize Pike County? Good luck. Welcome to life in the dirty south. The more deer that are killed, the less that will be on the highway. This resident needs to get his a-- out of the country. Go to Atlanta so he can call the Sheriff about his home getting invaded or his car getting stolen. Sounds like the country is not the place for them

Does this have anything to do with the coward maggot who shot and killed a beautiful white lama on rover-zetella rd.last friday?

It seems cruel to turn a lama out onto a road. What was it doing there?
#4 Sheila Tolley on 11/14/10 at 11:27 AM
It wasn't singing and dancing to "Rama-lama-ding-dong." It was probably walking before the gun happy idiot killed it.

The llama was not in the road it was in a pasture with several other animals.Someone shot it thursday night from the road.The owners said they know who did it.

To #1 Sounds like you might be guilty. No problem with the hunting just need to stay off land they don't have permission to be on and in case you haven't noticed people's houses and cars get broke into here in your country town also. So if you don't mind let people decide where to let their a--'s live.
#7 Sheila Tolley on 11/15/10 at 01:28 PM
Then I hope they report them.
#8 Sheila Tolley on 11/15/10 at 04:37 PM
Take your a-- on to jail. Country people do not deserve being robbed or their houses invaded. Go steal a hungry, mad pit bull...Big Boy!

Problem is, these "hunters" tresspass, bust fences, tear up land and think they are real big boys. Unfortnately they have no respect for property rights, don't ask land owners for permission, are put out when an owner says NO. I would suggest they save their money and buy some of the vacant property in county that is for sale for sale or forclousure. Shootng land owner dogs and other pets doesn't make them anymore welcome. Some even hunt in the city limits like Williamson. Land owner permission is paramount, without it a hunter is tresspassing pure and simple.

New GA law says that if someone is on your property, armed and acting in a threatening manner, you can shoot them in self defense.
#11 Sheila Tolley on 11/16/10 at 08:01 AM
That has always been SOP. (Standard Operating Procedure)
#12 Law Dawg on 11/16/10 at 11:35 AM
You can only use deadly force "if you are being threatened". Just because someone acts threatening doesn't give you the right to bust a cap in their arse.

I hope you didn't get your legal advise from the pollcaters.

wrong again... from the georgia code:

Defense of property other than habitation; Lethal force cannot be used to protect real property unless the person using such force reasonably believes that it is necessary to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.(16-3-24)

"He was on my property, armed, and I believed that he was going to shoot me"

(Stand Your Ground/Shoot First/License To Murder - went into effect July 1st, 2006) If you have determined you need to use lethal force (as stated in one of the underlined "Defense" sections immediately above) you do not have to try to retreat before using that force. If your defense is valid, you are immune from criminal prosecution (unless it is illegal to carry that weapon where you used it) and civil liability actions.(16-3-23.1, 16-3-24.2, 51-11-9)

pay back would be hell if someone killed one of my pets and i knew who did it.
#15 sand man on 11/16/10 at 01:52 PM
This is what we should be worried about.Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment.When this day comes for all of us see if you can convince him you were right.
#16 SelfDefense on 11/16/10 at 02:07 PM
What does 16-3-24 actually state? Can you put it in a more simple definition? Defense of property other then habitation? Real property? Can you shoot an unarmed man if he still poses a threat? As I see people do not seem to understand the law you might save someone from a lot of problems by clarifying it. I know from experience that not knowing about a law until after you have broken it is not the best time to learn from experience!

What type of religion backs this behavior? Sounds like one I can follow.
#18 Anonymous on 11/16/10 at 04:13 PM
What is wrong is when a hunter has permission to hunt on someones land, and the connecting land owner call the game warden on you for hunting on the property is wrong, pure and simple. If someone is trespassing on YOUR land, then have them arrested. But leave the honest and legal hunters alone.

I'm with you, if you can't handle country living go back to the city you came from. That is what's wrong with pike county now. Too many outsiders move here and want to bring their stuffy city attitudes with them.
#20 Anonymous on 11/18/10 at 07:07 AM
shoot a deer hunter, and lie about it. say he was threatining your life. that's the mentality you have. i guess working in a crime infested city such as clayton county would make you that way.
#21 Anonymous on 11/18/10 at 07:45 AM
No, shoot a trespasser that has a gun.
#22 Anonymous on 11/18/10 at 06:23 PM
sounds like my truck, and a subdivision just outside williamson and 2 wannabe cops that think they run the subdivision. it seems so funny that these two waste so much time chasing whatever it is they are chasing,my truck? or someones. frankly i think they should move back to clayton co where i know one of the came from. he comes to pike co to hide from people he has inprisoned based on the same lies he tells the cops and dnr neither of which care. pike co allows shit clayton co won't. Hunting? and DNR they have much bigger fish to catch. so take your a-- back to clayco

cops look here ^

Tell that to the military and law enforcement officers. I think they would disagree with Matthew. I think it is sad that you think America should have turned its cheek after 9-11. Save your fake book for your fake after life. It will make a good door stop until them.
#25 Sheila Tolley on 11/19/10 at 02:21 PM
I guess it will be my word against the dead body. He would be the silent minority.
#26 Anonymous on 11/21/10 at 06:32 PM
you can shoot and kill but they must be on property you own or have permission to protect from the owner and they must be committing a forcible felony.

((e) As used in this Code section, the term 'forcible felony' means any felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any person and further includes, without limitation, murder; felony murder; burglary; robbery; armed robbery; kidnapping; hijacking of an aircraft or motor vehicle; aggravated stalking; rape; aggravated child molestation; aggravated sexual battery; arson in the first degree; the manufacturing, transporting, distribution, or possession of explosives with intent to kill, injure, or intimidate individuals or destroy a public building; terroristic threats; or acts of treason or insurrection.)
#27 sand man on 11/22/10 at 06:40 PM
I didn't say there was never a time to kill.I firmly believe in the right to protect yourself in the event of a life threatening situation,but God will be your judge as to weather it was self defense or murder.As far as my "fake" book goes I would rather live by it and find out it was wrong that to not live by it and find out it was right.

Amen, brother. It is so easy to believe in something that could give you eternal life! Why take a chance!
#29 St.Nick on 11/23/10 at 07:55 AM
Thats why I believe in Santa. Why risk not getting his presents either. And dont forget the easter bunny!

I did not know that santa could send you to hell.
