4. , <br />D <br />@cEadI <br />Milo <br />Philip L. Pennell <br />3412 Lees Chapel Rd. <br />Cedar Grove, N.C. 27231 <br />March fit, 1991 <br />Dear Orange County Commissioners: <br />This letter is in response to the new hunting law that has <br />been proposed to your board. It is my hope that -you may <br />reconsider this situation. <br />I am the treasurer and correspondence secretary for the Eno <br />River Coon Hunters Association of Orange County. I am also <br />a iano owner in Cedar Grove. <br />My concerns are for all the residents of Orange County, both <br />land owners and hunters. The problem that Is being <br />addressed is very sensitive, Indeed. After much studying, I <br />can not see that this land entry permit slip would be any <br />good at all because the people breaking the present laws <br />will not pay any attention to a new law. <br />Orange County law now states that: <br />I. It is unlawful to hunt deer from a public road. <br />2. it is unlawful to hunt with firearms from the <br />right --of -way of a public road. <br />Instead of the proprosed ordinance I feel that this should <br />be added to the existing law: <br />I. It is unlawful to discharge a centerfire arm on <br />another person's land or across such land from a <br />public road without having in possession written <br />permission from the owner or leaser. <br />2. Upon firing, one must be elevated at least eight <br />feet above the ground and not in a motor vehicle. <br />$. The penalty for not obeying such ordinance is $500 <br />
