Who shoots at a fisher with a deer rifle?  ???

Sounds like the Sheriffs office is already circling the wagons to protect this scumbag corrections officer.

Oh yea, he did nothing wrong but DEC is going to investigate. I like the part where they knew who he was and couldn't find him for a couple of days, and the guy that got shot confronted him at the time it happened and he still left the scene.

Just because someone wears a badge and uniform doesn't mean he is an upstanding citizen.  This is just another example of it.

it is illegal to shot a fisher 1st off unless you are a trapper and it is in a trap. seccond the guy shot several times and had no idea where his rounds were ending up. not good!!!!!!!!!!

You know I was wondering about that part, I thought you had to have a trapper license but I really don't pay attenion to stuff like that because I would never consider shooting a Fisher or Mink or Marten. Maybe he will get in more trouble then?

So excactly how many laws were violated here? And he well walk away scott free.

It would be nice to see the follow up story on this !

The sheriff made a point of saying there was no criminal intent, but I would think that will be determined by the investigation, no?

What a moron...and with a badge...an even more dangerous moron.

CATSKILL — Environmental conservation officials are continuing their  investigation into a sheriff’s officer who allegedly shot at a Cairo man multiple times on hunting season’s opening day.

Maybe it had to do with Homeland Security ......... Oh it wasn't That Cairo?  ;D 

I guess the multiple shots meant that he didn't want him to get away. I think this "sheriff's officer" had better work on his marksmanship along with getting his eyesight looked after..... Maybe he was carrying one of those flasks too  ;D .
