| FACT: Wisconsin rifle hunters took approximately 303,000 deer during the 2004 season |
| I ask all of you to join me in praying for the families of the 8 deer hunters that were shot in Birchwood, Wisconsin on Sunday 11-21-2004. Five were killed at the scene, 1 of the 3 survivors died at the hospital on 11/22/04, and 2 are injured. It is a terrible tragedy, and there are no answers as to why this happened, only speculation for now. This all started with trying to remove a trespassing hunter from private hunting land. Hopefully in time the question of "why" will be answered. All we can do for the moment is pray, and to continue striving to be good and respectful sportsman.
