Trouble at Hullett Marsh

[bowj]

If you know the marsh, it is very extensive and in some places hard to access, so a search would be a nightmare there.

when I spoke to the police yesterday they said that the investigation was in its infancy, but my guess is they have no clue what happened.

obviously I hope they find the shooter and its very unfortunate no matter what happened, but I hope that it wasn't a hunting accident, and the person took off, because that would not bode well for any of us who use the marsh for hunting.

hope we get some news today about this...

This was not a hunting accident. Reports are the victim was shot from the road. If you check the dogs forum you will find details.

The media reported some details yesterday but then took those reports down, which suggests the cops have reasons they are witholding info & have asked media to cooperate.

From what I have read, the police have not mentioned anything about this being a hunting accident.

My big concern is this a animal rights activist shooting hunters to try and make a point, are we all at risk here? should we stay away from Hullett. They really do need to tell people what the hell is going on. Come 2 weeks from now that place is going to be filled with hunters and if they have the slightest suspicion that there is a threat to hunters there or anywhere they should really say something, Until I know more information I'm not going there or any other crown land.

This is crazy

This did not happen at the marsh, all reports are saying west of the marsh. Stop fueling the fire that this was a hunting accident at the marsh...... bad enough press has already come of this!!!

I don't feel your remotely at risk. Furthermore, what lunatic is dumb enough to walk into a parking lot with 100 guys and more ammo then most Canadian retailers.

How's about we let the police do their job and not jump to any unfounded conclusions based on nothing, if they are not telling you there is a reason. They are there to solve the crime, not appease those following the case.

I am not fuelling any fires, I think the lack of information is letting everyone's imaginations run wild.
I asked the police whether the marsh was still open yesterday and they said a part of it was closed for the investigation on the west side.. I was in the marsh Saturday and apparently the police had stopped other hunters on the east side of the marsh where we were as well. although I am not saying this happened in the marsh, it definitely was close to it or somehow related, not to mention this group was dog training in the marsh, I saw the signs.
My comment was in relation to the difficulty in such an investigation in such a rugged location, I am not trying to further any rumors.

The lack of info fuels speculation but speculation at this point is just speculation ... presumably the cops are playing this close to the chest for a reason.
