Sorry for your loss and especially for the violated feelings when a trespasser destroys property. I am familiar with this experience. Goats are valuable livestock. If it was in a pasture behind a fence you can rest assured it was not mistaken for a deer. This was hopefully a one-time occurence. Harass a game warden into investigating a crime like this if you have the patience it takes to wait for one to arrive. ripetomatoes"

It is highly unlikely that any amount of investigation would succeed. There is a hunt club nearby and the people can not seem to keep to their own property.

Some people (hunters or not) do only shoot for the kill. Someone shot a nice size buck on my mothers property just a few weeks ago. Left the body and cut off the antlers. Im all for killing for the meat, but dont kill just b/c you can, or b/c you want the antlers to prove you can shoot something. I DO hope they find the person that did this, and bring him/her to justice. That man fought for our country and was killed over something stupid.

superman; They assumed there was a confrontation because the guy didn't shoot himself.

Was your livestock confined when the hunter shot it? That would be trespassing, which disqualifies this hunter as "fine". It would also be simple to have this hunter's license to hunt revoked. ripetomatoes"

Wonder how they "assumed" there was a confrontation with another peson? Certainly appears to be intentional. Could have been a different issue other than duck hunting.

"One day I drove to a county trash container to deposit some trash and saw a dead male deer that someone had thrown in it and the only thing that was missing from the animal were the antlers. How is that for the sanctity of life."

How do you know a hunter did this? It is highly possible that someone cleaned a deer off the road that had been hit by a vehicle and chose to keep the antlers.

As I mentioned before, hunters generally dont get along with other hunters.. this being game lands who knows who could have been walking those woods carrying a shotgun.
