I garden, I have chickens, I spend a lot of time outside. A long time ago I was a reporter.

Thank you for taking the time to reply seriously and clarify. I'm going to delete my original post because I don't want my misunderstanding to spread.

Glad to hear that perspective/intent. I think the disclaimer counterintuitively is what led me to see the comment as derogatory, as hamfisted alert writing reflects the local culture but isn't indicative of irresponsible gun use/culture.

My first reaction was that you probably didn't have much cultural context, but didn't intend to be offensive. But when I saw that the next thing you did was repost someone mocking the message, I had a much harder time reading your initial post with charity.

I'm sure you know that if you begin your statement about any group with a disclaimer that some members of the group are not bad the clear implication is that most members of the group are.

In the same spirit of generosity then, let me share that I grew up in a place where the first day of hunting season was a public holiday. When I read local media about the shooting, the second story on the front page was about the upcoming opening day.

It'd be great if Va. had something like the N.C. Armadillo Project. [WARNING: many of the pics are of (bloody) roadkill.]
Most sightings are clustered between Asheville and the Georgia border, but the project has a great map, and scattered reports went nearly to the Albemarle Sound in the last year.
