Whether he left and came back or was confronted only once, I'm not sure anymore. The thing that stands out in my mind is if he was truly lost and trying to find his way back, I would think they would have been helpful.

But it sounds like he was being stubborn about leaving or didn't like the fact he was being told to leave, maybe there were words because of that. I simply cannot accept that people who have been hunting for years would point a gun at him, let alone shoot in his direction. All you have to do is look at the pictures of these hunters and know they are not the type to play games with loaded (or unloaded) weapons.

If he was being harrassed, all he would have needed to do is go to the authorities himself. Yet I can't believe they would give him any reason to.

All speculation on my part, of course. It's just that hunters around here are very serious about gun safety and this Vang is the one who had at one time flashed his own gun at his wife.

I pinged you to the actual complaint thread. Reading both sides is an eye opener. (of course 6 of the witnesses cannot testify)

Nor I. The accounts of people who personally know the victims make that scenario extremely unlikely. Vang is playing the race card to the hilt in the hope that political correctness will create enough ambiguity to allow for a lesser sentence. It ain't gonna work.
