This is an unfortunate choice of words because using the term “hunter” to describe him affects and mislabels the tens of thousands of deer hunters who obey the law and apply decent ethics in their activities.

This man was allegedly breaking the law on several counts and it involved a firearm, ammunition and spotlights.

His apparent intent had nothing to do with hunting because it is allowed by law and is practised by law-biding deer hunters.

Leading Sen-Constable Wayne Handley is heartily commended for apprehending this man.

Constable Handley’s actions send a clear warning to all those who indulge in illegal firearm activities in the area that they are on notice and they will be caught.
