On August 21,1992, 14 year old Sammy Weaver and his friend Kevin Harris were hunting. Sammy's dog Striker caught scent of the men hiding in thee woods. the dog barked and ran ahead. Sammy and Kevin thought he'd picked up the trail of a deer. They hurried to follow. An unexpected burst of gunfire from a hidden sniper stopped Striker in his tracks.

Good evening.
"Deer hunting in Idaho in August?"

These people were poor. A deer could provide them with a lot of food and they were in need of that meat at that time. The original entrapment had used the family's poverty to persuade Weaver to cut down the shotgun barrels that brought the ATF, Marshals and FBI HRT down on them down on them.

Poaching? Does it matter in this case? Is that why the Feds came after them, just as the Weavers believed the government was going to do, and killed two of them?
