DescriptionCRAWFORD, United States (AFP) - A frustrated local farmer fired shots into the air near hundreds of protestors who began their second week of demonstrations against the Iraq war outside President George W. Bush's ranch.

Larry Mattlage, who lives next to the Bush ranch where the president is spending a five week vacation, complained about the 200 protestors, media and government security officials occupying the road outside his own residence after firing a rifle into the air several times.

"Five weeks of this is too much. We live here, this is our community," Mattlage said in footage show by CNN television, while insisting the gunshots were just him "getting ready for dove season."
