Hunter shot to death in eastern WA

[TheHunt]

People are very different.  I have friend who is a relative of one of those.  He has to call over there a month in advance to a store in Republic to leave a message. We went over after we knew they got the message.  It was his uncle.  He has cousin's Rod and Todd.  Interesting folks for sure... 

They asked for the left over gas when we left.  Everyone drained their gas tanks from the motor cycles.  They live off of 15,000 dollars a year.  They live in a shack but they had trails which connected use to many other trails.  When we got stopped by other interesting folks we said we were with Carter's. And they let us go... 

We only went there once!!!  So I can see someone getting shot there.  But the ATF is going to rain some heavy junk on them if it is truly a murder.

You should never fire a shot at someone unless they pull something out of a pocket that looks like a weapon .  That is what I was told by a police officer when an intruder enters your residence.

everyone here is rational...  Over there you cannot use rational thoughts.  They do not exist over there.

I went gold prospecting with some other guys in the Molson/Chesaw area back in the early 1980's, and a local resident warned us of the "strange people" that were there.  Never had a problem, but back then the government wasn't as distrusted or disliked as much as it is now.  Condolences to the family of the slain hunter...

I pray that the family has peace and that the man killed didn't suffer in his final moments.

I pray too that justice is swift for the murderous fool that shot him.

We don't know squat so jumping to conclusions  (Vietnam vets - hillbilly's etc)   isn't doing anyone any good.


Best wishes to the family and friends of the hunter.

OKANOGAN COUNTY, Wash. -- Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers says the shooting death of a grouse hunter in a remote area of central Washington is being investigated as a homicide.

Okanogan County officials responded to an alleged shooting victim on Cow Camp Road on Pontiac Ridge out of Chesaw Monday afternoon.

 Deputies said that when they arrived they found one person who looked to have been shot. That person was pronounced dead at the scene by officials.

 Officials said two people were grouse hunting in the area of Cow Camp Road on Pontiac Ridge out of Chesaw on Monday. One hunter got out of a vehicle to shoot a grouse and the man's hunting partner said he heard a shot and saw his partner fall to the ground with blood on him.

 The victim's partner said he drove from the scene to a home in the area to call police.

Rogers says the hunting partner is currently not a suspect, and no suspects have been identified. But investigators do have "people of interest" they'd like to interview.

ught

It happened on Pontiac Ridge. That area is famous around here for things like that happening. This is the first time I've ever heard of a shooting
up there though. There is supposed to be Vietnam vets up there that are kind of a bubble off plum. I've been up there many times, but I never stop to do anything.

Got to: www.krem.com if you want to keep up on it.

My first thought was Just that. ( Pontiac R/R ) I was up there  late Saturday (dusk ) Checking on some property I haven't seen in a couple years as we were heading over to the Wedge area. seemed to be much less evidence of activit yup there. A few places that used to look "lived on or in"seemed vacant. Didn't stay long,since it was getting dark.
 
Prayers to the victims Loved ones!

 Which makes me think it would be tough to find  (Legit) loggers willing to do some clearing, before the neighbors do it.

[mrmoskillz]

I hope they get answers to what happend.  Prayers sent.

From reading this thread it sounds like that area is something right out of Deliverance.  Spooky

 Cow Camp Eh....This one gives a better idea of the area it happened. our land is about 1 1/2 mile  farther( East) in, just beyond Pryor Loop Rd.
