A 23-year-old deer hunter, apparently upset over the proximity of two other hunters, took a shot toward them Monday morning, Wasatch County authorities reported.
No one was injured in the 9:20 a.m. incident, but a bullet from Jesse Buckley's rifle came within 10 yards of a member of a hunting party, said sheriff's Capt. John Rogers.
A witness told authorities that at least one shot was fired from a pair of hunters standing about 200 yards from two other hunters. It was unclear if the second group fired back, but Rogers said gunfire may have been exchanged.
The men who say they were fired at were standing near a felled deer when the bullet whizzed past them, Rogers said.
After authorities responded to the shooting, which occurred near Currant Creek in the east end of the county, Buckley was arrested and booked into jail on suspicion of unlawfully discharging a firearm.
The county attorney's office will review the case, but Rogers said the charge could be elevated to a felony because the man allegedly shot in order to intimate or scare the other hunting group.
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources spokesman Tony Wood said this type of behavior is unheard of in the hunting community.
"This isn't a hunter. This is just a criminal in the woods," he said.
Buckley has been investigated by DWR in the past

for weapons violations, Wood said. But, "this is the first time, to our knowledge, that an altercation has risen to where shots were fired."
Court records show that Buckley was convicted in February 2005 for carrying a concealed dangerous weapon, a Class A misdemeanor.
He was sentenced to 100 hours of community service, 12 months probation and ordered to complete a concealed weapons class and pay a $500 fine.
If charged and convicted of a felony in the new case, Buckley could be restricted from possessing guns in the future, Wood said.
DWR is also investigating the case to see if a charge of interfering with a lawful hunt, which wouldn't result in a license suspension, can be filed against the man.
 
SOME MORE UTARDS THAT STAKE PUBLIC GROUND AS PRIVATE PROPERTY!!!

THESE TARDS ARE GETTING WAY WORSE BY THE YEAR!!!

RUN INTO ONE HUNTER THAT TRIED TELLING ME THERE WASN'T VERY MANY HUNTERS SHOW UP,WTF,AND WHERE THE HELLS HE BEEN HUNTING???

THE ONLY bobcat WONDERING WHERE IT WILL ALL END OR HOW BAD WILL THINGS GET BEFORE TARDS SEE THE LIGHT???
 
Did you see this kid and his dad interviewed on the news? Holy hell, they were a couple of dandies.

Anyone of the hundreds, if not thousands of people watching that news cast that might feel neutral towards hunting, just became anti hunters after watching this idiot kid and his dad talking on the news.

Hell, I was embarrassed to say I'm a deer hunter after seeing that.
I think from now on I'll tell people I'm a golfer.
 
Hey Guys..

While I'm new to posting messages, I'm a long time reader?

With regards to Utah, Deer hunting and the People,
There can be no doubt that the headcount ( people) in the Beehive state has totally exploded over the last few years? Seems to me a lot of the folks I come into contact with are?Transplants! Folks form other parts of the US who now call Utah home, having family that were born and raised in the state.. speaking for myself, I can pretty much tell the difference.
I have hunted the southern section for 30+ years.. I know a few Locals there, The Smith Family, The Cox Family, these are some of the best folks you'd ever want to run into out in the hills, they will help you drag your deer out, help get you out should you fall ill (its happened)

Deer hunting, oh yeah? it's had its up and downs! For sure, as far a competition goes, I've my share. I downed a buck another had shot, this guy?s demeanor was gruff and combative in an attempt to scare me off, didn't work. I offered a coin flip? he refused, and got nasty! So I offered to fist fight him for it! He chose the coin toss? and won. I didn't want to fight over the deer? just for the sake of him being such a turd.
One other time I killed a buck a guy had been tracking, I had the buck gutted and tagged when he arrived! He demand I turn the Deer over to him, since he had drawn first blood?I asked him for $75.00 (than, the cost of an outta state tag) he cussed a bit, then went on his?If you hunt enough, on public land, ANYHWERE? things like this happen.

My Brother and I went up Beaver, no tags, no rifles, just for the trip! And I'm tell?n ya.. We seen lots and lots of Deer. Nice bucks. Lesser bucks?and a fair share of hunters, though nowhere near the numbers preceding the draw, I really think. Its working, as painful as it is no to be selected?. The draw in working (in my opinion)
I really hope everyone has a safe, successful trip and returns home happy.

Thanks for you time

If I understood you reply correct. You killed a deer that was wounded, cleaned it taged it. Then when the guy tracking it talked to you about it you wanted him to pay you $75 bucks.

Where was that deer hit?

The first deer you talked about was it hit before you shot it also?

I know it is the law that if you kill it yours. If they have been hit and someone is following up on it I would not claim it as mine.
 
Good Morning Buckshot...

i had already cut my tag apart and attached it to the bucks antlers, if he hunter wanted to take this buck, he'd have to pay me $75.00 for the used tag..

Yes, the Bucks was wounded, the first buck was just slightly wounded.. the second buck was hit pretty good, although when i shot him.... he was running pretty good...
 
I have twice shot bucks that were wounded,both times I waited to see if someone was tracking them BEFORE I tagged them, no one came on the first, the hunter tracking the second was very happy to get HIS deer.
