That is a tragedy. Pure tragedy.

I hope they catch the perps and give them the justice they deserve.

Hate to hear when the good guy gets killed. I can't believe the danger these officers put themselves in every day and the total lack of respect they get in return.

Hunttalk has associations with wardens. We owe them infinity.
This act really angers me...

The people who do these things need to be dealt with accordingly. This country went has gone from the place who hosted the Boston Tea Party to being pussified. It needs to stop.

Just awful. He’s the kind of person we all want to see have a long career, and here he’s just murdered and it’s all over just like that.
