5 killed in Wisconsin Deer Hunting Dispute
this is one article, i read another that said the guy left after the dispute and came back with a full-auto weapon....
(CNN) -- Sheriff's deputies were investigating the killings of five hunters Sunday in northwestern Wisconsin, apparently sparked by a hunting dispute that turned violent.
Three others were wounded, said Julie Veness, an emergency medical technician in Exeland, Wisconsin.
Saturday was the opening of the nine-day deer season, and the shooting appeared to stem from a dispute over land in the heavily wooded area, Veness said.
"Apparently, the person was asked to leave and get out of his deer stand, and he didn't take it very well and he fired away at them," she said.
A state police official said a man wanted in connection with the shootings has been arrested, but no details were immediately available. The Sawyer County Sheriff's Department, which is investigating the killings, had no comment.
Jennifer Greshowak, a spokeswoman for Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake, said three wounded men from the same hunting party were brought to that facility after suffering gunshot wounds. One of the three was transferred to a hospital in nearby Marshfield; one was in surgery Sunday afternoon, while the third was in intensive care, she said.
Veness said the killings have shocked Exeland, a village of 219 people.
"It just doesn't happen in this neck of the woods," she said. "We don't expect any of this to happen."

If there was that many hunters out there i wouldn't have ran away. They should have shot back. Must of been some damn physco that gets upset fairly easy to do something like that. I guess my mind can't take in how all them people died out there and nobody did anything. I am going to wait until i know the full story before i say anything else.
