wishinone Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Re: Goose Hunter Killed by farmer Something is wrong with this story, no goose is going to be scared by a gun shot from so far away, plus he knew the land was leased for waterfowl hunting.

DSGB Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Re: Goose Hunter Killed by farmer That's terrible! [ QUOTE ] Johnson was using an SKS 7.62x39-cal. rifle with open sights and no magnifying scope. The weapon is a popular rifle for target or varmint shooting and not generally used for big-game hunts. [/ QUOTE ] At least they got that right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Re: Goose Hunter Killed by farmer Man thats awful! What in the world was that guy thinking! Number one if you have it leased dont fling lead at the birds your getting payed for. Number two, why in the world would you fling lead from a rifle? If he was truly trying to scare the birds why didn't he just point at the ground in front of him? It was the noise that would supposedly run off the birds, not the impact of the lead.

hangunnr Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Re: Goose Hunter Killed by farmer "Torgerson was lying inside a large decoy manufactured to serve as an individual hunting blind, with narrow slits cut to watch for approaching geese." Unless the poor guy that got killed was only about 18" tall there shouldn't have been any doubt that the 5' long decoy he was layin in wasn't a goose. Makes me wonder if there was a little more to this story than the shooter is willing to tell. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest huntinsanobsession Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Re: Goose Hunter Killed by farmer sad storie but somethings just aren't adding up i thnk there might be more to the storie but im not gonna jump to conclusions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superguide Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Re: Goose Hunter Killed by farmer What the farmer did was wrong but in actual fact a highpowered rifle does scare geese off fields way better than a shotgun or birdscare cannons-the farmers here do it all the time. In fact though what the farmer did was no more dangerous than roadhunters flinging lead at a deer running across or standing in a farm field -neither guy was sure what was behind him. It is just such a tragic deal for all involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Re: Goose Hunter Killed by farmer There are too many loose ends to this whole thing! I don't think the farmer's story is going to hold water. Seems very far fetched! Terrible incident! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James7xChamp3 Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Re: Goose Hunter Killed by farmer Very sad no matter what the real story is.

dogdoc Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Re: Goose Hunter Killed by farmer sad story for sure. I know this may sound cruel but the farmer is 100% responsible. If I was the D.A. manslaughter charges would be files ASAP. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
