I'd be in favor of bringing back lynch mobs for people like this.

Wow. I was scouting off fs road 355 Oct 2 and 3. Didn't hear any shots, but saw a fair amount of others out there scouting. That is sickening that someone did that. Hipefully they find out who it was.

If I were you ffm71, I would contact AZGFD, if you can remember any of the different type of vehicles that you saw that day in the area. Sometimes, it is the smallest tip that can blow a case wide open.

I would if I could remember anything about any details.

What a shame. They really should castrate people for doing that
