Wow! That article burnt my azz worse than last weeks chilli. That is about as anti hunter as you can get. The better part of the article is focused on hunters and not a dead horse. The idiocy behind these people drives me nuts. We don't have the arrow but it was a crossbow! How did they figure this out? I wouldn't doubt this comes back as an anti hunters way of creating some waves. If someone breaks into an enclosure and shoots a horse he is not a hunter, he's just a guy who killed a horse.

Wow.....

I am sure Mr. Stoltzfus the clear anti-hunter is a forensic expert in all projectile weapons, which allowed him to investigate the wound on Moonpie and at first recognize a high powered rifle exit would, then further investigate and realize it had to be a crossbow, which could have any number (probably what 20-30) different wounds depending on the broad head.

It also could not at all be due to the fact that he was recently trespassing on a neighbors property and had a confrontation.

Just another great article making hunters look terrible, and even better it could just be a lunatic.

I was wondering that myself. Lol

"Following the incident, Stoltzfus plans to keep his horses confined in a secured enclosure each night"

I can't help but think that might have been a good way to care for them anyway. Good for him for finally thinking of it.

I think that means bringing them in the barn every night. And no, a livestock owner should not have to do this.

Why is the word "hunter" used here? There is nothing at all to suggest it was a hunter.

This article is not anti-hunter in my opinion it is simply quoting one person's opinion.

Pretty disgusting who ever did this, I hope they find who is responsible.

This article has nothing to do with hunting or hunters.....

hard to say what really happened... may have bin a poacher who stayed after dark, seen what he thought to be a deer and shot the pony... or could be the disgruntled man he ran into in the bush... couple years ago out here in chisholm, we had a guy shoot a neighbours horse on his property... the story was he seen the horses loose on his property, and didnt want them to ruin his hunt, so he fired a warning shot towards them to scare them off, then apparently the horse charged at him, and he had to shoot to protect his own life... he was charged... and living in a community that is over run with horse owners, he moved away the same month, assuming he got some threats lol
