I have to admit, those are some very speculative claims to publish in the NYT, not to mention the fact a lot of big farm states also have castle doctrine laws.

Castle doctrine applies to protecting ones-self in the home. [1] But I agree some states will look the other way when it comes to poachers and trespassers. It's risky for everyone involved because very few states have codified what is deemed appropriate use of lethal force for trespassers outside the home, so it's like a box of chocolates. And even when legal there is always the likely chance of civil suits from the persons family. [1] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq3mafGHmK4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq3mafGHmK4
