Terrible news, some poachers stabbed a local landowner after he confonted them when poaching deer. This is a small rural town, and when something like this happens, it's really hard to beleive. There is just a really bad feeling around town right now. This could have easily been myself, or anyone of us.

CLAY CENTER, Kan. - Authorities were searching Monday for three men who may have been involved in the stabbing of a 66-year-old rural Clay County man after he reportedly confronted them about poaching a deer on his land.
Marvin Macy was in serious condition Monday at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita with knife wounds to his abdomen and face.
Macy was attacked Sunday by two men after he caught them with a deer killed on his property and confronted them, Clay County Sheriff Chuck Dunn said. Other witnesses saw a third suspect in the truck.
Dunn said his department was looking for three men seen in a red Ford pickup truck with a plastic dog box in the bed of the truck. The truck was identified by Macy and seen by witnesses in the area before the stabbing, he said.
After the suspects fled, Macy walked with bleeding wounds about one-quarter mile to a truck he had stored with farm machinery and drove to his home near the Athelstane township, he said. Macy was airlifted from his home to Wichita for surgery.
