With all due respect, I have to go with what the shooter said himself on a radio interview that was transcribed which was Oct 8th, 2010. Likewise, he has already admitted to having a scope on his 25.06 which even if it was a Leupold Vari-X III in a 4.5x16, had he reduced it to 4 power, would have still been useless at a 20 yard range. He never admitted in his interview to not using the scope, so you are assuming he made a shot on a moving target from the hip and hit it in the neck? I am treating this like an investigator would. The radio interview was conducted on January 1st, 2012 so Justin had plenty of time to get his story straight and he stated on the recoord that he and the driver were hunting on Oct 8th, 2010. As far as the technical aspects of hunting, shooting, and animal recovery, these too are questionable. There is no reason to panic when you are legally engaged in a hunting activity. The only people I know who panic are poachers. Jodie, I too want to believe and as stated, I and I believe the rest of the BF community wish they had produced a body or series of photos to provide proof for once and for all. Unfortunately, from the standpoint of a hunter and criminal investigator, his story is so full of holes that it only adds to my skeptisism.

Sunflower: If that blasted report of Dr. K's ever gets published, all this may then make sense to the folks that don't understand yet. Just don't let their comments get to you like they did me. Not everyone wants to hear the facts, especially when the truth don't match their baseless opinions. Regards.
