nothing worse than having to deal with dead deer on a bug infested 100 degree night, I've been there............I won't say it wasn't fun, but sometimes the last thing you want to deal with.

looks like Don West himself took that photo!! the other defense attorney did a great job, but West came off like a jackass..........and the prosecution did a terrible job, in my opinion.

yup, that was my train of thought, if you didn't want to do it, they will find someone else........got more than one phone call telling me if I didn't want to do it he would find someone else....had a lot of fun doing it and have no regrets.

I would hope moderators would be allowed to express their opinions too...........as long as the discussion is kept on track and people don't resort to personal attacks all should be good.

I've been on a couple nuisance permits, some where the farmers partook in the killing....the one's he killed got dumped and buried..........wasteful, but totally legal and understandable . He looked at them like rats who destroyed his profit..........and I've also shot deer and brought the entire thing to a wildlife refuge and they feed them to the animals they are rehabilitating, didn't feel wasteful at all to me.

yep, they should invest the time and money into what needs fixing first...........not too familiar with the Adirondacks, but from what I hear they are well suited for moose.

watch any of the pro's on the hunting show's, and the way some act and the phrases they use are pretty embarrassing and disrespectful........putting the "smack down" on any animal sounds like you beat it in the wrestling ring.......killing is what hunter's do.

I have a feeling there aren't going to be anymore updates..............

Tommy? we're on step closer to finding out his true identity.

well, my son is 16, taller than his mother and just as tall as me..........and yeah, he's just a kid.

news reports have Zimmerman spending his first full day of freedom in seclusion wearing a bulletproof vest................this guy's in prison either way.

that's a good point ,and I agree, tell them why you're voting against them and if worst comes to worst you're voting in another with the same view..........so nothing really lost.

I wouldn't go as far to say that one idiot didn't make it happen, there has to be a driving force behind him............does anyone know if he's even a hunter/

it's topics like this that make these boards interesting and keep people coming back...........enjoy and don't take anything too personally!!!!

yes, but Zimmermans clothes looked like they were just taken out of a closet....that's why I say the physical evidence was not pivotal in his acquital....it was more based on the testimony of the police and character witnesses and Zimmermans own statements

Physical Evidence Physical evidence is one of the most common types of evidence found at a crime scene. Physical evidence consists of the actual physical objects found at the scene. This can mean large items such as damaged cars, broken glass or smashed doors. It also includes items that are minuscule in size, such as hair or clothing fibers. An investigator may also collect weapons such as knives or guns, or fired bullets and spent casings. Depending on the scene, physical impressions may also be found, including tire tracks or footprints. A suspected burglary may lead the investigator to look for tool marks on the doors or windows. Finally, physical evidence also includes fingerprints and lipstick impressions left on glasses or cigarettes. If it can be touched, picked up or moved it constitutes physical evidence.

if I'm not mistaken, physical evidence would be blood, DNA, and the like..........totally different then eyewitness accounts...............I totally believe the police and some of the eye witnesses.

I'm fairly confident that if you're in your home and someone breaks in, intent on committing a crime, the need to retreat goes out the window.........at that point, where are you expected to retreat to?

so the older man was the first to produce a bat and threaten the younger man, correct?..........if so, the younger man could easily articulate that he was meeting the force threatened against him with the same force...once again only the survivor can tell the story.

and another thing to factor in, is where you live.........not every area in NY allows you to carry a handgun outside your home, if that was down where I live it may have had a different outcome, almost impossible to get a permit for full carry, so just the simple fact of taking it out of your home for reasons other than what you're licensed for would put you in a bad spot....not to mention some areas have a different mindset on citizens carrying guns......sad, but true.

I don't have enough info on the case to say yes or no, but if you point a gun at someone and they still come at you, it's very easy to say that he feared the kid could get his gun. It's all about articulation as to why you felt the need to use deadly force.

ahhhh!!!!!!!!!!! that was the only problem I had with the trial. I think it was more on Zimmermans statements and those of the police who investigated..........I think his articulation of the fear of his life is what got him the acquittal.

especially if they have friends with the same problem, word of mouth is a great tool.............hell, you may even get a TV show like the guys on "Chasing Tail"!!!

no doubt...like I said, he was able to articulate that he was in fear of his life.

ok, just a thought....I was thinking if you can show them you're helping them solve a problem they may be more inclined to invite you back next year for the same price or maybe for free........once people see they can make money, they may look around for someone to make even more, but more than likely if they live in CT and have that kind of property money isn't an issue for them...........good luck.
