Shots Fired

The gunfire is back with a vengeance in my little semi-rural suburb. I understand the half hour of sustained gunfire during daylight hours. That's just people practicing. I understand the 5 or 6 shots rapid fire, also during daylight hours. That's just the tourists who want to show off their gun and prove they're real life country folk by shooting something. My problem with them is that they usually just throw a can or something out into their yard and blaze away without considering the school behind it. That in itself is a reason to bring firearms safety classes back into the public schools. I don't see how firearms safety is any different than motor vehicle safety, but I digress.
What confuses me is the all day gunfire. Always a single shot. Never in the same place. A single shot here. A few hours later another shot there. Another shot at midnight. What are they shooting at? Are they hunting? In a subdivision? Possibly. After all, it is semi-rural and there are areas of 5 acres or so free here and there. The people here would have no problem hunting on 5 acres. Intelligent, no, but that never stops people around here. You have to wonder what they are hunting at midnight though.
