Ironically coming back from my brother in law’s. The whole Pigeon Forge area went up just a couple days after we’d driven through.

My BIL has state or fed land adjacent to his. There was an open hunting weekend and someone was up in a tree stand very near his property. He’s an expert hunter but he knows that there are some real dumbasses out there. To scare the guy off he took his tractor and cut the grass near where this guy was. Scare off wildlife so he’d leave. It was so dry my father in law had to go with him with two massive water containers in case the chain on the mower shit a rock and there were sparks.
