Home on the Firing Range

In today's Boston Globe, reporter Megan Woolhouse has a lively trend story on how suburban hunters are increasingly finding their targets close to home. "Suburban Deer Hunters" describes how the booming deer population has inspired more hunters to shoot their guns in heavily populated eastern Massachusetts than in the less densely packed western Massachusetts, much to the consternation of some suburban dwellers. I like how Woolhouse identified this trend and then presented it with vivid examples and solid data. boston.com/news/local/articles/2006/02/08/suburban_deer_hunters
