CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) A bow-and-arrow hunt for deer has caused hard feelings among neighbors in a gated community in North Carolina.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Wednesday that residents of Governors Club in Chatham County have been told to remove no trespassing signs and to stop harassing hunters, who are there with the blessing of the property owners association.
The association obtained a state permit to allow bow hunts to kill up to 65 deer. They say deer are destroying shrubs, flowers and other landscaping. At least two deer have been killed.
The association says it has told the hunters which lots are off limits. It sent a letter last week saying residents who don't take down their no trespassing signs risk fines. The hunting is mostly taking place on 23 lots whose owners have allowed it.
