EXELAND, Wis. - Five hunters were shot dead and three others injured after a dispute in northwestern Wisconsin.

The confrontation began around noon in a rural area southwestern Sawyer County. Authorities said a hunting party returning to their deer shack saw a hunter unknown to them occupying one of their tree stands. They confronted the hunter, and were apparently shot.

One of the shooting victims used a walkie talkie to radio back to their deer shack for help. When the victim's hunting partners came to the scene, they were also shot.

Sawyer County was in a virtual lockdown as authorities searched for the gunman. One suspect was eventually taken into custody around 5:15 p.m.

The suspect's name has not been released. However, authorities said he was from the Twin Cities area.

Officials at Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake said they treated three gunshot victims. They said one of the victims was transported to a hospital in Marshfield, Wis. Another victim is in critical condition and is undergoing surgery. The third victim is in fair condition in the intensive care unit.

Thats unreal...How did this wacko shoot eight armed hunters and not get whacked???? I would have unloaded on the guy!

That's easy Jim. Hunters don't go around shooting other hunters, just because they have a lethal weapon in their hands. Even if being shot at by another hunter, your first instinct, wouldn't be to shoot back.

What I can't understand is why the conflicting news reports??

One says he went home and returned with an assault rifle, while the other says the victims are being treated for shotgun wounds.

Which is it ??

Don't you just love the news. confused.gif

Fox News just reported that when they confronted him about trespassing, he left...and then came back with an automatic weapon.

I wish we had the death penalty!

Send him down here to Texas and let him try that, we have the death penalty and practice it quite regular.

SICK!!! SO far they agree that it is 5 dead, 3 wounded, and had something to do with a guy either trespassign or being asked to leave a stand somewhere. Oh, and that they got the guy. Hopefully your justice system is better than ours because i am sure he would plead insanity and get bugger all here.

May the deceased rest in peace, their families be helped through this tradgedy, and that psycho burn in wel you know where.

Re: Some sick SOB is killing Wisconsin deer hunters

With all that is going on in this world right now, I have to ponder wether anyone is truly safe anywhere.

This type of thing is beyond words, I'm just plain outraged. I hope and pray the people and families that were victimized by this S.O.B. will be able to carry on with a normal life after such a terrible ordeal such as this.

My prayers to all.

Breaking news in Wisconsin is saying there is someone out in the woods hunting and killing the deer hunters. The detalis are sketchy as of right now, but so far there have been at least 5 hunters shot deliberatly and some are confirmed dead. Probably some sick PITA nut that think's a deer's life is worth more than a human life. Very scary when you think about the kind of sicko's that are out there in society now days. mad.gif

I read, in this mornings' paper, concerning the killing of several Deer Hunters in Eastern Wisconsin. The article says it started over a dispute over a tree stand. The intruder was armed with an SKS semiauto and open fire on the hunters after they were unable to reason with him. The paper said the SKS was a common Deer hunting rifle, but I've yet seen a Hunter carry one afield for Deer Hunting. confused.gif

If someone is intentionally shooting at me, they better take cover. I will shoot back. It would be my first instinct (self preservation).

Re: Some sick SOB is killing Wisconsin deer hunters

This is terrible. I just saw it on the news and came on here to check any info. The news is reporting the the shooter was another deer hunter and the dispute was over a tree stand. I pray for the families of the victims, but I sure hope that the shooter wasn't a deer hunter. That would give the anti's (gun) so much fire power that it wouldn't be funny.
