GARDINER — Fran Reynolds noticed an uptick in hunting around her home overlooking Discovery Bay in 2018. Today, the shooting has reached a level that she and her neighbors believe has made the area dangerous for people, pets and livestock.

“One hunter sent his dog into a neighbor’s yard to retrieve a goose he shot,” said Reynolds, who has lived in Gardiner since 2014.

“A neighbor said she could hear a bullet whiz by her ear when she was outside.”
