Funny how the "media" tends to quell coverage when a member of "law enforcment" might be involved in wrongdoing.

 

Self preservation. A few years back, Newsday ran an article that was somewhat critical of the police department. They were rewarded by having their trucks targeted for speeding tickets on the LIE. It was an interesting showdown.

Where did it say anyone in law enforcement was involved? ....Did I miss something?

Where did it say anyone in law enforcement was involved? ....Did I miss something?It was said when first report

it was said when first reported that one or both was a Livingston county cop and it was during a competition. Not sure if it was ever verified

I heard on the radio it was a Livingston County Corrections Officer and the Bark At the Moon club was having a hunting contest that weekend.

Wonder how many deer they'll get next year... At least it wasn't a tap in the wrist.

   Lost their hunting licenses for 3 yrs. & got a $$$ penalty.

I was being sarcastic.....

I heard Lonsberry talking about this today.........He said the horses were shot in two different locations and times on the farm?  And also that the DEC is refusing to give any more details on the case?

 

Anyone else hear him?

[Paula]

I missed him talking about it, they made me work today

Idiot's this is a problem all over the country.Back a few years a near by farmer had a jersey calf shot by a not local person and said person tagged with a Doe permit this person had license/drivers taken for 3 months and had to pay farmer for the loss of a cow.never heard about since then

 

[hunter49]

Years ago a local farmer had a sign on his fence post  stating " City hunters these are sheep not deer do not shoot!" I guess he had a few shot before the sign was up.

I thought maybe this was a thread about state-wide antler point restrictions in NY state, based on the title.

[fasteddie]

I recall some young guys screwing around in Avon several years ago and shot a farmer's cow with an arrow . Anyone have a recollection of this ?

 

[wheelieman]

Actually it was an Ontario county corrections officer and the sheriff is doing his own own investigation; however the person is still at work, Fingerlakes1.com

This is the reason I don't let anyone either then family hunt on my property.

 

I don't want some one shooting my horse.

Most responsible hunters have ethics that include identifying prey.  Any reasonable hunter with some experience can be expected to tell the difference between a horse and any other animal.  Experienced hunters have no issue differentiating between any game they can see.  This is a rare incident with two idiots.

 

I would suspect the two individuals where shooting off rounds with out a care and saw something and shot it figuring they would have little or no responsibility except to remove the body.  Hard to do with a horse!  Even harder is two, surprised they did not put the other one out of its misery.

 

Don't let the shortcomings of a few idiots prevent you from having friends hunt the land.  Just make sure they are responsible, ethical and make them aware of your concerns.
