I'm sorry, since when do you have to be educated to be a contributing member of society?

Talking the type of people that live up that way...all to familiar with the "hillbilly" and "off the grid" type that live in the parts of NE WA

.......... I believe there was an arrest made not sure there letting that news out, it is sketchy up there, best to know people.

Once an arrestee goes before a judge, that arrest is public information, as are inmates at all jail levels except DHS/DOD.

Its not speculation of the types that live up there, and I promise they aren't offended by it. 

Grouse hunting on the road and shooting 100 yards from their house is definitely dangerous business. 

I am very sorry for this gentleman and his family.

But was he really grouse hunting or was that a story made up to cover up something else? I guess we'll never know.

I know its a sad deal and if someone did murder him I hope they find out what happened and who did it.

 From an UN named members PM to me after he read (here)  that I had property on the ridge.............

"........Tim Carrigan who was shot, stays
 on the property across the road from ours. I was up there last week and Tim and his brother
 mike were their, They have been coming up there for several years and were great guys, I had
 dinner with them sunday nite and cant believe what has happened. "

 Sounds legit to Me

     Hello, I have to get into this discussion. My wife and I have 20+ac on
 Pontiac Ridge, We built a large cabin and shop on the property about
 8 years ago. We live in Wenatchee and go up every other weekend and
 a few full weeks in the fall. We have met some great people up there
 and a few that are differant, But we have the same mix here in Wenatchee.
   Now about the murder up there, Tim Carrigan and his brother Mike had
   a few ac across from us. They started coming up about 4 years ago and
  they are great people, They have helped out several folks up there when
  they are up. Sad to say I had dinner with Mike the day before he was murdered.
  Mike and his brother Tim were up for grouse hunting and to scout out for
  muzzle loading season. They always respected property owners and asked
 permission to hunt or cross there property, I don't know yet what happened
 that Monday, but hope we learn more quickly. I KNOW this much, mike would
 have given you the shirt of his back and then some. I hope they get the person
 or person's quick and they go away for a long long time.

I have twenty acres up there also and just spent a week on it. this is really scary. we are on sgove rd on the bluff below annie besides her every one we've met in the area has been really nice. My family and i have heard the all "Pontiac ridge rumors" for the twenty one years we have been going out there but this first time it has hit this close to "home" .

I ran into a guy while hunting over the weekend and we were just chatting when somehow the subject came up.....turns out the guy I was talking with told me that was his friend and he lived in who was killed and lived in  Chesaw as well ! A few minutes after leaving I started thinking how strange the conversation was. He was with two other guys in a jeep and had drove up a gated road which was locked.  .  I had several elk right of above me and they split after hearing the jeep. I was annoyed and wondered how they got up the road since it was gated. Apparently his friend worked for the FS and had a key to the gate.
