Hi Mary,
I'd have to agree with Rick and Sandy's post - probably related to the gunshot and the close proximity of strangers to your goats. Somehow you need to camoflauge a set of electric fence wires for when your hunting buddies decide to come back and relieve themselves on your property ;-)
Unfortunately, alot of people do not pay attention to no hunting or trespassing signs and the "no" sign to them means "yes". That's what makes it tougher on the law abiding hunters. Keep an eye on your Molly and if the trouble with the hunters coming onto your land persists, I'd call law enforcement and let them deal with it as a "threat to your livestock" matter.
Personally, I do not like having any type of firearms discharged anywhere near my property for fear of richocheting and hitting one of the animals or my wife or I. And this is coming from a person that owns a gun and shoots on my own property from time to time (varmints). But for people to blatantly trespass and impose a danger, that is not right.
Best regards,
Gary
