Trust the Media and RCMP

I can sure believe that someone could wind up with their horses shot three years in a row...but it certainly wouldn't be due to the horses being mistaken for game animals

I'm sure there's hunters that do some stupid things. (Although, I haven't seen it in my area.) But to put 4 bullet holes in someone's house? That's harsh.. and a possible manslaughter charge if someone were to catch one of those projectiles.
Especially the Insurance Companies luck.
The Media runs with these stories to sell news papers and then they sell advertising when the consumers are buying the papers.
Then there is the disinformation in these stories that gets guys all piled up.
Moral of the story, see someone doing silly siht, call the police and have them deal with it...as for interviews with the Media I consider them Persona Non Grata...End of story.
And yes I fully understand the ramifications of fighting people who who buy their ink by the hundreds of gallons.
Tight Groups,

There is more anger directed here towards the media and the RCMP instead of the sh!tbirds that shot up someone's house.
And blaming the homeowners who must have "pissed someone off."

Based on the article - police - fish cops - all making the grand assumption that it's hunters shooting the place up.
A lot of folks on here are hunters and sportsman, obviously to take offense at the undertone of the article.
So, perhaps the article should be written as if "criminals" put bullet holes in the house..
Jus sayin.

I'd go with insurance scam or staged publicity "event".

I find that I spend a lot of time explaining the difference between poachers and hunters to people.

I think they called it "high powered rifle"....missed a chance to call it from a dangerous assault rifle. Must have been a busy news day to miss that chance.
It would certainly seem personal, how does someone unintentionally shoot a house 4 times after dark?
how ironic is it coming from you about trust the media ....
you can do better or does it mean we can trust you either lol ....

No i just directed my comment to those that should be thought to be accountable, instead the media and Police assuming it to be a hunter. What hunter can put 4 shots close together in a house shooting at a moving animal. Doesn't make sense. Then the police saying this is to be expected at this time of year from hunters, pisses a law abiding hunter and shooter off as it should you too. Yes it looks targeted, and if the police can't see that they should turn in their badges and join Dora the Explorer looking for clues instead, they might learn something from her...
I live in a rural area near urban centres. When gun hunting season starts the area tolerates assorted armed numbskulls from neighbouring communities with hunting licences. Four shots into a house doesn't surprise me all that much. Trespassing is almost a given. I hold a hunting licence and the actions of so-called "hunters" offends me far, far more than the words of the media and police. YMMV.
Well if you are fine with accepting blame bestowed upon you by RCMP and the media for being a law abiding hunter instead of the blame being focused where it should be, squarely on the shoulders of a rogue gunman, criminal or poacher, then all the best to you. I do not. Enough said.
“Whether it was hunting or not, we can’t say for sure, but the discharge of firearms in that location, at that time, is illegal"
I don't see anywhere in the article where it specifically says hunters are to blame for the house shooting incident. Just because F&W are involved means nothing, except that all angles are being investigated. F&W has good experience/expertise when it comes to these sort of incidents.
Some of you guys ought to step away from your laptops, get up off your couches and stretch your legs for a bit. Get the oxygen flowing back to your brains. FFS. You fellows must be real treats to be around lol.
On a positive note, I think those Alcoa shares I picked up a few years back are soon going to pay off...
Thank God for the EE or there would be nothing here worth logging in for. This site is so full of misery, negativity and paranoia. Oh, almost forgot the stupidity

I'm not accepting blame. I am facing facts. There are far too many hunters out there that are a disgrace. Too often people on this site give them a pass and put the blame on the police and media. If you are fine keeping your head in the sand about the state of our sport then all the best to you.
