An elderly turkey hunter was shot by a NC Wildlife Resources Commision enforcement officer Saturday morning on his own property near here. The 76 year old elderly hunter was hard of hearing, and was reportedly hunting with his son-in-law and two grandkids as the incident unfolded around 7:30 am. Details were sketchy at best, but the entire community is upset, as well as most hunters I've talked with. Do you really have to put a "killing" shot on an elderly man on his own land, or just regroup and serve the papers on the same residence later? P*** poor judgement, as far as I'm concerned!

Let us remember him and his family in their time of loss.
