To all of the geniuses here trashing Moose and his cryptic message you show your lack of maturity. If anyone stops to analyze what he said it isn't at all mysterious. Chief Moose wants to establish contact with either the shooter or the witness; whoever left the message. Moose's statement was obviously discussed over and over in the headquarters and it was deemed highly desirable to go about it in this fashion. Let's hope it turns up something. And all of the children who have posted here should go to bed. You have kindergarten tomorrow morning.Yes, it was apparent to me from the first that the message was worded appropriately so that whoever left the message (now known to be a written message left in the woods by the sniper), would know from Chief Moose's words that he was acknowledging the Sniper's note and that he was responding to his specific request in the note. Thanks for you reply.
As to the crime itself, I believe when this is solved, hopefully sooner than later, is that the shooter is involved in a "game" where only one shot is allowed for the kill. If you check around on the internet you can find games and "scores" of "kills" and other sniper related web sites.
This sniper believes he is supremely intelligent and have outsmarted the best of law enforcement. This one shot and leave is part of his trademark. He would not be "honorable" if he took more than one shot.
