Unless you’re wearing canvas or rubber waders neoprene won’t sink. Disproved that myth many many times, lol.

Adrenalin can make people do incredible things at times.

True. But, a shotgun blast at close range would be pretty devastating.
Finding the old man should bring together more of the pieces to prove what actually happened.


We are told not to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but are told to judge all gunowners by the actions of a few.

Basically nobody wears waders on Reelfoot. No reason to cause the water and mud are WAYYYY too deep to wade. Next speculation ?

Right? They call someone "gay boy" and get themselves banned. Sound familiar?

Only thing I have heard is they have called off the man search for right now. I believe they think he is dead in the lake. Could take weeks for the body to float up if so.

Any info on why they believed he fled on foot? Was his boat pulled up on shore?

Not saying the third man is guilty of anything, but it does seem rather fishy. If they find the old man dead nearby and the third man has the old man's gun...How did he die?

Duck hunting duel to the death.
And now they can't find a body.

Never thought duck tasted that good.


Has anybody checked the whereabouts

It it just me or does every new version seem less believable than the previous one? This version reported to be from the only known survivor.

Where was the suspects boat found?

They apparently have not found the gun that was knocked in waist deep lake water. Makes no sense at all.

Where is the 2nd gun that is attributed to the missing suspect?

What was the nature of the survivors injuries?

More questions than answers being reported and most of it seems pretty far fetched.

Unless the suspect is found alive, I am not sure we will ever get anywhere close to the truth about what happened.

Why would he shoot once with his own gun and then grab someone else's gun for a second shot? He'd of had at least 3 shells in his own plugged gun

I find it odd that the DA or whatever the title of the prosecutor is would release that kind of detail for a case that still has the potential to go to a jury.

I was wondering the same thing. Something is not adding up.

The article says the survivor charged the man, took his gun, hit him with the gun, knocked him out of the boat. He's got more self determination than i have. If someone just shot my 2 hunting buddies.....I'm not going to get in a wrestling match with him

Yeah and survivors next story says he tossed gun in lake after knocking old guy out with it. Yet the authorities found old guys gun in his boat when it was located. Doesn't add up.
