Running of the ... Beagles?

Living in the country is so peaceful - at least it's peaceful 98% of the time.  Take today, for example.  We went to church, came home, ate lunch...and I napped.  Later on I headed outside to take care of a cat-related chore or two.  As soon as I opened the door to go out, the quiet day turned into a chaotic beagle concert and occasional gun shots.  That makes me crazy, because it means someone's hunting fairly nearby.  I immediately thought of the twin fawns that have been visiting our yard the past week or so (I think they like our muscadines), and I couldn't help but wonder if their mother was safe.  No, I don't really think beagles are used to hunt deer, but still...what hunter could resist a deer trophy should the opportunity present itself?  Grrr.
