Save Time + Trouble * Money with a subscription to The Dallas Post Dallas homeowner defends hunters | By RICH JOHNSON Staff Writer In the wake of a controversy about hunting on private property in Dallas Township, an area homeowner has come to the de- fense of the hunters. “I've owned land in Dallas Township for 24 years and I haven't had one problem with hunters,” said Charles Bauer, who owns property along Carpenter Road. Bauer was responding to recent actions by another property owner who said that law enforcement officials fail to take proper steps against hunters who trespass on posted property. Joan Byron of 42nd Street wrote letters to county officials in hopes of having a hunting dispute settled. In the letters, she complained about lack of enforcement by Dallas Township police officers and two area magistrates. Byron also filed trespassing charges against two men she said she found hunting on her property. The men were found not guilty of ANSE a 47 aR LS Bigs ey i s $B nt b trespassing at a hearing held last month. Bauer feels that Byron went too far in handling the matter and believes that other homeowners should not consider such action. “It was a bad situation that was blown out of proportion,” said Bauer. “I know both of the men who were charged and I don't think they would deliberately go on a property without permission,” he said. Bauer said that the complaints of Byron and others are giving hunters a reputation they don't deserve. “Most of the properties around us are posted and those who are allowed to hunt are very responsible,” he said. “Stories like this do not help anyone. It was blown out of proportion and every- one suffers from this.” Bauer said that not only were the hunters responsible but he believes that the authorities acted properly. “I don’t know the police officers or the magistrates but I can’t believe that they would treat 3 hunters any differently than any. one else.” he said. 3 Bauer said that he sees 3 number of hunters in that area of the township but has not seen any violations. “There aren't as many hunters out there as there were 10-15 years ago,” he said. “I think the problem occurs be. cause we have an influx of people who have moved from the city to this area and they are not educateq in hunting,” said Bauer. Byron disputes the idea that hunting has decreased in thatareg of the township. “It is all year around that we hear shots,” she said Monday. “In fact they were out there shooting on Sunday, so] don’t think it has decreased.” Byron said that she is not against hunting but has taken action so that hunters will stay off her land, Bauer believes that Byron may be mistaken about where the shooting occurs. “If a gun goes off around that mountain, it sounds like it can be in your back yard but it may actually be miles away,” he said.
