Shooting at Reelfoot

[RUGER]

I am on a Reelfoot Lake facebook page and there is a thread on there now about two people being shot at Walnut Log.
Another post said someone found two people in their blind and got mad and shot them.
Another said that there is one fatality.
Waiting on confirmation on any and all of it.
Hope none of it is true but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it is.

All I can do is shake my head

Damn

Geez.
Hope for the best.

 

[RUGER]

I have the names of the alleged victims and shooter.
Pretty sure they are both dead.
They trying to find the shooter now. He is somewhere on the lake.

Walnut Log is a different place !

Crazy!

Good freaking grief, have people lost their dang mind. Absolutely senseless and now multiple families will be forever changed

 

[Mama Doe]

Prayers for the families! Unbelievable.

I can't imagine shooting someone over a blind during a good duck season, let alone the abysmal crap in the past 4 years. That's terrible, but knowing some of the dudes out there at the Walnut Log ramp, it doesn't surprise me.

I don't know the circumstances of this event but in my dozen years of 'public' land duck hunting I have met some nice people and some of the scumiest crap on the planet.

 

[RUGER]

I'm hearing reports that it was over shooting swings smh

2 dead 1 airlifted is the latest report

Wish it was all lies and everyone is ok

 

[RUGER]

Everything I am hearing it sounds more like the swing shooting deal
So sad

Tragic and completely unnecessary. I've duck hunted for 45 years and sadly have said for years that duck hunters as a lot can be some of the most boorish and selfish outdoorsman around. I'm not smart enough to pyscho-analyze it but I've seen some pretty crazy behaviors over the year. Reelfoot is a different beast.
Prayers for all involved.

It's just a dang duck. Not worth taking a life over.

 

[PJones]

Boys were from Greenfield I believe. Also heard name of shooter but will not put out until fact checked.

 

[RUGER]

So so sad

Very sad. My cousin killed his best friend swing shooting

 

[Pic IN the Casa]

So, pardon my ignorance.
Was this accidental in the same blind or did one blind shoot on another and it escalated?

 

[RUGER]

Very sad. My cousin killed his best friend swing shooting

This was a different kind of swing shooting
This one is when birds are working one hole and swing over another and they get shot at when they go over

 

[PJones]

Very sad. My cousin killed his best friend swing shooting

it was a altercation between two sets of hunters over shooting swing ducks off another blind

Not accidental

Not making light of this but this happens at Cheatham every time birds fly.

 

[PJones]

He and his friend were duck hunting this morning. They were approached by another duck hunter over swing ducks and got into an argument. The man shot him and his friend

 

[backyardtndeer]

What a shame, no duck or deer is worth losing life over. I know folks on both ends of the spectrum who duck hunt. Stresses of the world today may push someone on the edge right over it. Very sad, prayers going out for the victims families.

I can't imagine ever pointing a gun at someone unless they were attacking me or family.
It will be interesting to hear the shooter's story.

 

[DoubleRidge]

Sad....and ridiculous.....prayers for the families involved on all sides...just terrible.

 

[reloadxx]

dang man i hate to here this. like others have said its just a duck

I'm not to sure he is around anymore to give his side

I figure the pos will off himself before they catch him
