T4e I'm guessing you are American? Why is it some Americans (and I emphasise the some), think they are the only Country in the World. The UK and particularly Ireland has been dealing with far greater Terrorism than America for some time. When I was studying in Oxford from 1990 I sent some time at a college near an Army recruitment office and in one year we had 11 bomb scares 7 of which involved the whole area being closed down for hours at a time. Many other countries in the world have suffered terribly at the hands of terrorists resulting in the loss of many lives. Maybe you should check out World news some time.
I would also like to agree with paperstraws comments to disintigratar, that to shoot any living creature unless it was causing a serious threat to you or your companions, is a senseless act of violence, and something that I am sure goes against the ethics of most of the geocaching community. Let's not forget that you are encroaching on their habitat, not the other way round. I hope you can be more respectful to your environment in future and enjoy your geocaching adventures without causing unnecessary bloodshed.
