And we had always kept the place open.. But we quit.. We had let them cut their damn XMAS trees and hunt until the hooligans took over..
So, based on the above, and the rest of your post from which I pulled that, you should have some understanding and empathy for the folks who were shot, who were on their own land, or on land owned by a friend, and a hooligan was found to be there, up in a tree stand, and he was told to leave....
And his response ws to kill 6 and grievously wound another 2.
It's not an issue about hunting coug, as Grainne would put it. It's about a homicidal maniac who shot 6 people dead. This just as easily could have happened to you when you confronted someone on your property, taking shots at a fawn who was amongst your cattle.
Hunting is only the subtext here. This is about sensless, wanton murder. Much as would occur in Newark or Detroit, only this time it took place in the North Woods.
By the way, I don't hunt. Never have and at this point in my life, likely won't ever. |
