seeking advice
 
I do not know much about hunting, but am seeking advice or direction. My husband (this was his screen name) was a dedicated bow hunter. He was a level-headed, honest and a happy man. But one weekend he never returned from his bow hunting trip. Our family was distraut. The police have pretty much dropped the case, believing he just ran off. I know he would never do that to us. Have you heard of other disapperances such as this? Does anyone know of topics related to disapperances that I could research?

Hello "bowshot"

I'm really troubled by this. Not knowing any more than what you say in your post. I can only ponder. You say he left "our family" I'm assuming there were children?? I don't see how a guy like you describe could just run off. How long ago was this ? Where at? What was the relationship between you and your husband and him and his children like? I can't help but think a fellow with a passion for bowhunting would be the kind of guy that would do something like that. Bowhunters usually have a good deal of self-control.
Not knowing more, I'd have to conclude that it sounds a little fishy. Good luck!!!

if you don't mind me asking, what part of the country did this happen?

First - I'm terribly sorry.

Have you thought about hiring a private investigator? There are all sorts of things he might do that could leave a trail like credit cards etc. Did the police look for this already? If he didn't leave a paper trail, and never turned up in a search party this really is a mystery.

Bowshot,I find that very intresting. Do you know what WMA he went hunting at? Did he go with anyone? How long has he been gone now? I was just curious and maybe it was none of my business. Good luck, Bobby
p.s. just one more thing, what about a vechilcle, did they ever recover it? I was just curious.

Yeah, it just down right sucks, but they will answer to it, it is a sad joke if that is what it is, the first clue is they only had one post, and details wer'ent clear. CSI would have him.;) Bobby

Sorry, I didn't realize that I had to be logged on all the time in order to prove my creditablity. I do have responsibilities. I will no longer try this outlet in my quest for answers due to your alarming responses. Thank you for your time.

Bowshot, if you are serious then you have a library of knowledge at your finger tips and we're here to help in any way, you must admit it was suspecious just because of its vagueness, and lacked details and ignored our replies. If you are serious, you have my apology and I would like to know more. Bobby

sorry you feel that way bowshot but you can't blame anyone here your post just doesn't add up for me the main reason is the police or a priviate investagator will not just give up and say he ran off they will indeed look for foul play, check credit card uses and he must of had a vehicle hes not just going to run around in his camo with his bow all over the place. and maybe you should try and find a PI or someone who can help find him I don't think you will find him posting on bowhunting forums. Good luck. And If it is true I hope you find him.
