Beside a dead maple, my neighbor from the next farm, Mark Shepard, cradles a Remington .280 rifle. I am a spectator today. So is Mark's son Glenn, 14. Glenn, a crack shot, has hunted turkey and pheasant with shotguns and deer with bow and arrow. But in New York State, he cannot legally go after deer with a gun until he is 16.
