Residents of the Governors Club have been told to take down their no trespassing signs and stop harassing the hunters.
The gated community, where most homes range from the mid-400,000s to $4 million, recently received a state permit that lets bow hunters to take 65 deer through April 15.
Two deer had been killed as of Saturday, with two arrows, officials said.
But some residents have posted signs on their property to keep bow hunters from hunting or following injured deer into their yards. In response, the property owners association sent a letter telling them the association has already told the hunters which lots are off limits and that residents who don’t take down their signs risk fines.
In a separate e-mail, the association has also told opponents not to harass visitors after at least two verbal threats were made to landscapers mistaken for hunters. The e-mail cites state statutes that make interfering with the legal taking of wildlife punishable by a fine up to $1,000 and 30 days in jail, or both.
