EAST STROUDSBURG Pa. (Reuters) - The manhunt for the suspect in the ambush that killed a Pennsylvania trooper and wounded another won't stop the opening of deer-hunting season in the Pocono Mountains, one of most prized spots in the Northeast for game, authorities said on Monday.
Beginning Saturday, bow hunters can enter the deep woods of the region even if the search for the suspect, Eric Frein, is still under way, more than three weeks after the September 12 shooting.
Since then, hundreds of officers, supported by armored vehicles and helicopters, have combed the forests of northeastern Pennsylvania looking for the 31-year-old survivalist.

Liberals will argue that officers are "driving" the deer towards the hunters. LOL.

Gotta love this story. Hopefully some of these guys will be out for Eric Frein season too.

Given that the LEO have not been very forthcoming about the relationship between the victim and the alleged perp I wonder what is really going on.

I'm willing to wager that this fugitive is in New Mexico, Alaska, or Canada, and some hunter is going to take a skinhead, bloused booted, 'roided bullet with no punishment for the cop.
Something like, "He's coming right at me!"

He killed a cop and he tastes like venison. All the hunters need to know.

If Eric has a deer hunter friend, he has the perfect cover to make an escape.

I thought it strange as well that the perp's name was known far and wide within an hour of the incident but nothing about the relationship to the victim, if any. The impression is that he just wanted to kill one or more random state police officers.
That really only makes sense if the perp is a Muslim with an agenda.

Since then [3 weeks], hundreds of officers, supported by armored vehicles and helicopters, have combed the forests of northeastern Pennsylvania looking for the 31-year-old survivalist.Who is paying for all this unionized overtime??
To: Bettyprob
Maybe a hunter will catch the culprit.

Who is paying for all this unionized overtime?? The PA taxpayers, of course.
NOTE TO ANY prospective Cadets: There will be massive retirements from PSP within two years as their pension is based on last two years of pay. It will be just like after the Camp Hill SCI riots.

Maybe a hunter will catch the culprit. That makes sense, considering it wasn't the police who caught Rudolph or Tsarnaev, despite the massive manhunts.

Haven’t seen him here in New Mexico yet. Will keep an eye out for him.

Pa. deer are about the size of a long-legged German Shepard, but with horns!
