Wisconsin Tragedy

Not good - prayers are in order for some families tonight.

Yeah, a damned shame; and just what we needed, for our image.

But, I heard the guy was a hmong(sp) from Viet Nam. In California, them and Cambodians have been responsible for a lot of game enforcement problems. Basically, they don't understand or respect game laws.

I don't feel this is a representative case, at all. Therefore, I expect the media to milk it for all it's worth.

Good hunting. LB

Five Dead, Three Hurt in Wisconsin Hunting Dispute


BIRCHWOOD, Wis. (Nov. 22) - A deer hunter shot and killed five people and injured three others in northwestern Wisconsin following a dispute about a tree stand during the hunt's opening weekend, authorities said.

Very sad indeed. A man's "private property" is not private any more! After the fact of this tragety; a cell phone call to enforcement, probably would have save lives.

Gee, that's really too bad, ya know. But, that's five less dummies with tiny penises and big guns running around, exercising their "second amendment" rights to kill unarmed, defenseless deer. Woooo, macho macho men! Here's hoping this becomes an epidemic.

The report I read said that...

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><HR>Zeigle said the suspect was ''chasing after them and killing them,'' with a SKS 7.62 caliber semiautomatic, a common hunting weapon. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

you gotta be kidding me.. hunting with an AK.. common.... how do these people make it through the hunter saftey courses? Or athey just a boring Saturday afternoon and no one really cares or the state make them to easy to get through??
