Default Tragic News

Avery Pro-Staffer Josh Leger shot and killed by poacher. Those of you that pray might want to say one for Josh and his family. I'm not sure how someone could be that dumb or how it could happen, but it did. Prayers sent from me and my family!

RIP Josh

The way I understand is they were able to get his license plate number and he was aressted a little later at his house. I'm not sure though exactly how it went down.

I don't remember if it was last year or two years ago, but this same sort of scenario, almost exactly the same, happened and it cost a waterfowler his life. Guy shooting a decoys from the road 200 yards away. Rifle turned out to be an SKS. Exact same situation. What the heck is wrong with some people.... Terrible terrible tradgedy.

Read the newspaper article online....a 22 was the culprit.....no matter what you are doing whether fair hunting or road hunting always make sure you know what you are shooting at!!!!!!!!!

Cases such as these are way too sad!
