Read the story. They called for help.
I wonder if this is the same Chai Vang that was identified as the shooter. Maybe Chai Vang is a common name among Hmong.
Yeah, I lived on a bayou, those "sweet" little animals are not something you want to mess with. Plus, try watching discovery. I can't watch because it's so violent.
A real tragedy! ...but's was this about Wisconsin hunters having to wear a deer license on their backs?
I live on the edge of a wilderness preserve in British Columbia, but haven't owned a rifle since I left the North Peace in '79.
Around here, if you own a rifle, you just end up shooting more bears than I'd ever want to. One of my neighbours pops a half dozen per year, but still has them raiding his fruit trees when they pass through, as they continue to do, generation after generation. Grizzlies avoid humans, so it's only the black bears that come around, anyway.
I just let the dog bark. ;^)
from Yahoo:
About 20 shots were fired but it was unclear if any of the hunters had fired at the suspect or who might have shot first, Zeigle said. There was just one gun among the eight people killed or wounded, he said.
Seems like they came to the recue without coming armed. Perhaps it was unclear to them, or the persons radioing, that the shots were fired purposefully.
Yikes. Too many people with guns running around to be caught without one.
I've seen this question asked today a few times. There is a world of difference between shooting at an animal and shooting at a human being. Ask anyone who's ever been a soldier or a police officer.
Flame ? I don't flame ignorance. You hate "all" deer hunters ?......LOL. You have issues. Your collective "anger/hate" is laughable based on your reasoning. Post yer property and prosecute the criminal trespass.
Sell a few hunting leases and let the hunters police your property for ya. Nothing quite like a place to hunt these days. The hunter will actually care for your property and it's wildlife better than you will in most cases. Conservation and wildlife management by such law abidding hunters vs the poachers you've encountered will increase the value of your estate.
Just a suggestion of course....... Sit down with the game wardens and LEO's in your area and they'll educate you as to the best solution for "your" problem.
If you still desire to not have any hunting on your property I totally respect that and would stand with you to enforce that wish but to put hunters trying to harvest game for their families table in the same group as the poachers you've caught is silly.
The AP on Yahoo is reporting it was an "SKS semi-automatic rifle" a "typical" gun for hunting.
You can see the video linked from the Yahoo story here:

The link for the AP video is next to the third picture down on the left hand side.
Is it really a "typical" gun for hunting? Would it be considered a deer rifle?
That was my question. I was hoping some of the hunters could clear that up. I'm not a hunter, and I don't know much about guns used for hunting...
Yep...you're fishy too.
where in Maryland....Tacoma Park?
You need a gun Alex.
Someone should be able to help.
Maybe some Dobies or Rotts if you'd prefer.
lol...
I see you've been ugly to Squantos....
now you really need a gun.....maybe a whole rifle company...lol
do you eat meat by any chance?
ever been in a fight?
talked back to a woman?
just curious.
*you started it btw....
huh ?.......ugly ?
i will douse you with water. it's your property. you decide who hunts and who does not. most legal deer hunters would agree with me.
