Ten Pointer
I was just up there a week ago. GEEZ. I don't know what to think!
I hunted there. The guides told us the same stories. It’s nuts. We had one get torched two blinds down from us one morning and our guides seemed to know the story as soon as the smoke started.I don’t care if it’s ducks or whatever. That dude that did the shooting wasn’t wrapped too tight in the first place. I’ve never hunted reelfoot. Never will but I hunt the area. Things get escalated quickly over a duck that make any happenings in eastern NC look like a children’s church nursery skirmish. Most guys out there had rather beat your ass to a pulp, burn your blind to the ground or burn your truck. They want you to live just so you’ll remember what happens when you do it. I’ve heard stories that’ll blow your mind over duck hunting out there but I’ve never ever ever heard anyone ever mention wanting to kill somebody over what they did. Dude sounds like a time bomb waiting to go off and apparently, today was his day to explode.
Again, not saying anyone was right here, but I can guarantee you that at 70 years old if a couple of 20s pointed guns at my grandpa, he would be pulling the trigger. He’s too old to have guys pointing guns at him anymore. Not to say he would be right, but I know how it would play out if guns were pointed at him first.Any truth to something I was told?
They threatened him when he come over an did not pull the trigger but he did.
All parties had guns!
We will see how it plays out.
Heck at 54 nobody is gonna point a gun at me in the midst of an argument. Its reasonable to assume they intend to do harm. Most people would, it is assault with a deadly weapon and rises to the "fear for my life" justified shooting, but I wouldn't go on the run after I did it. I think there will be alot more to this story but taking off sure makes me question what really happened.Again, not saying anyone was right here, but I can guarantee you that at 70 years old if a couple of 20s pointed guns at my grandpa, he would be pulling the trigger.

Absolutely not to discredit anything here, but these aren’t “boys”. They’re my age and and I’ll be 27 in March. I know a ton of absolute friggin morons my age in the waterfowl community that I wouldn’t put above a stunt like this. These aren’t 15 year old boys, they’re in their mid 20s. I’m not saying ANYONE was in the right here, but knowing guys my age, I’m not afraid to put money on something else developing out of this story.
I agree. The older gentleman definitely couldn’t hold his own in a out right scuffle with them. If it was a self defense shooting. Who knows because I’ve seen the same and been involved in a few heated altercations in the impoundments of NC coastal waters and blinds. I was young and blinded by testosterone and grit among being with friends who had each other’s backs. As we all are or were young at some point in life and stood our ground. It’s tragic for sure but I can see where the older guy coulda felt threatened. Not saying it’s justified at all. Just situational. Praying for family’s and friends. We all gotta get along out there or these privileges will be stripped from us all together.

Let this be a lesson to all no act of hunting is worth this but circumstances can happen fast with no time to think but it seems far too common to have run ins over duck hunting.
Young guys got to blind. Thought no one was in the other blind where old man hunted. No boat or nothing. Young guys shot a bird and one took boat to go get duck and old man shot the kid dead in the boat while kid was retrieving duck. This was out of sight from young guys blind. Other young guy went to check on guy after not returning and old man shot him too. Rest is still sketchy. I mean all of it is really.
That is a new theory. A bit too wild to be believable.
This story seems a little fishy to me. I think there is much much more to the story than is being told.

Uh...yeah. He just drives up and politely asks to hunt with them, and they say "sure!". Then he loads his gun and fills them with lead?This story seems a little fishy to me. I think there is much much more to the story than is being told.
