Horse Shot with an Arrow - 10/30/20 10:18 AM
Somebody allegedly shot a horse on a trail ride close to our house in Southern Kettle Moraine Forest, the arrow hit an artery above the hoof and the horse has now died. The entry wound appeared to be a tree stand shot, I can't imagine how sad this is for the horses owner
and another black eye for hunters. We know this was not a hunter, this arrow was shot by a moron!!!

A horseback rider noticed something unusual while riding in the Kettle Moraine Forest Wednesday.
An arrow lodged in one of the horse's front legs, just above the hoof. The incident happened in mid-afternoon though the Department of Natural Resources is not releasing the exact time.
There are several hunting seasons open now including small game and archery and crossbow deer seasons. The Southern Unit of the Kettle Moraine is open to hunting and it's not unusual for horseback riders, hunters and others to be in that park now, said Lt. John Sinclair of the DNR Bureau of Law Enforcement.
"We're trying to determine if this was an arrow shot by a hunter, and trying to figure out who that hunter might be," Sinclair said in a phone interview Thursday afternoon.
