Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Three Shot Over Deer Hunting Property Dispute

Three people were shot Sunday afternoon in Todd County Kentucky in a dispute over who had permission to hunt a certain property. I was waiting to post a link to the story, but the cops are still investigating. Apparently, the property had been sold and the hunter who had permission was trying to get the three hunters to leave, a teenager, his father, and grandfather. The three didn't want to leave, and jumped on the one guy and started hitting on him, and he in turn shot the three. I knew those involved, and the teen is still in a Nashville hospital, with his father and grandfather treated and released. The shooter was also taken to a hospital and treated and released. Details are still sketchy, but I was told that the shooter purposely shot the three family members to wound, rather than to kill.

This happened fairly close to where I live, and I saw the grandfather in town today with his foot all bandaged up. My thinking is that it was a pretty stupid thing to do to provoke an argument over who had permission to hunt, to the point where it ended up with people shot. Somebody should have their azz kicked over this.

I’m sure everyone involved was as dumb as you.


LOL

There are many who are firm in the belief that there is no crime so egregious nor punishment too severe for the act of crossing a property line regardless of the reason for doing so.

If the shooter weren’t the owner, he should be in prison with the others

You are drunk

And, I'm sure everyone involved was smarter than the attention ho.

LOL

Thanks, 007.

Dude had permission to hunt, not negotiate disputes

I’ll withhold full judgment until all the info comes out, but there is a thing called “disparity of force”. If you’ve got 3 armed men (even one being a healthy-sized teenager) jumping you (after simply notifying them that ownership has changed), all with access to high-powered rifles, there’s certainly a possibility it could be justified (assuming fight was ongoing, and the three weren’t retreating).

I’m betting BOTH parties are now wishing they’d simply withdrawn to their respective corners (or perhaps left completely) and simply notified the authorities….

WHAT!? And not handled it like REAL MEN?! ("Take it or leave it.")

I have the ho on ignore so missed that, but you're right.

This is one of the reasons I bought a 117 acre place in 1987 so we as a family would have a place to hunt. By the grace of God and good luck we have acquired a few more places so we don't end up with questions about who has the right to hunt.

The original place we bought was $400 dollars an acre and now would easily bring $4000 so I realize it ain't quite as cheap nowadays.

How many teeth did the four have combined? 9 or 10?

So he should have let them stomp his ass??

Seen it/heard it before except the trading shots part.
Yeah, it's always " Ol' mr. So-and-so has always
let us do whatever we wanted to on this here
piece o' land. I done been fishin' en huntin' here
for 30 year, en so has muh son en muh grandson."

"Well mr. So-and-so don't own it anymore "

"Wal he ain't tol us any different "

" He can't. He's been dead for 3 years and I've
owned it for 2 "

Or it's a well gauger that drives a company
truck and has the keys or combination to the
gate, and think that entitles him to do whatever
he wants to since he has access

Or a neighbor that watches you come and
go and uses ( and has been using) the property
for his personal hunting/fishing lease, even
though he has as much or more land of his
own to do whatever he wants to legally

The way things go these days, I'd be reluctant to notify "the authorites." It seems "the authorities" are interested in only finding some way to fuck over any individual they happen to have interactions with for any reason at all---guilty or not.

Color me cynical if you will. That's true living color, I'm afraid.

+ 1.

Yep.

reminds me of the Massacre here in Wi 20 yrs ago, 6 killed, 2 or 3 wounded after confronting some Ho Chi Minh hunting/trespassing on their land & stand... stood there wide eyed in disbelief as they were being mowed down... if you're gonna' confront someone who's armed, be respectful, and be ready to shoot if need be... and another reason i like 5 or more rounds in the magazine... fugg them short fat cotridges...

Was the shooter using a Souper?
