I know a guy who lives in the boondocks. He started a little paintball field on his back forty. They played there twice a month. The neighbours complained a lot, saying his property wasn't zoned for that. The county, after someone called them, looked into it and sure enough they were right! No more paintball field. The property owner then went around to all the happy neighbours to inform them that his little paintball field was indeed closed. He also informed them that his property was zoned to allow a hog farm to be on the premises. So he told the neighbours they could smell the hogs year round or listen to the paintball guns twice a month.. Paintball fields back open! Wooooo Hooooo!
Now that is a very unique approach....
