Well, my buddy and his wife were out working on the pond today. As I expected, the new neighbor had come up with even more than the "you shot my barn" story to tell them. It seems I woke his daughters while shooting the next morning, etc, etc. My buddy told me to "keep a low profile" until my buddy's wife calms down a bit. I informed him that that wouldn't be necessary, as this new land owner will keep moaning and complaining until he has them under his thumb and the property all to himself for hunting and fishing privilages. I told him I'd bring back his key and that he can find somebody else to manage his pond for him. I've seen this happen to other friends with permission to hunt/fish, and I'm going to save myself the trouble of having to hear the latest complaint.
