Hello, everyone.
I would like to address a FALSE accusation on the FB post involving βpoachingβ and my company. My employees (the hunter)and his friend used my company vehicle to go hunting when they saw Elk in a field. The hunter parked on the road and crossed into the farmerβs field to look with binoculars to see where the Elk were heading. Absolutely no shots were fired and the elderly landowner approached and called them poachers. It was presumed as his wife heard gunshots from her house. The hunter explained that he did not fire his rifle. The elderly land owner explained that he would need permission if he were to hunt on private land. We all sympathize with the landowners as he explained all the terrible experiences they have had in the past. The hunter is only guilty of trespassing. They proceeded 1/2 mile away to wait for the Alberta Wildlife Officer to arrive. They only left the scene as they were being threatened and harassed. The hunter was able to leave with a minor trespass fine. The Officer verified that the gun was not recently fired. It is unfair that my business is being jeopardized due to these accusations. These accusations are simply that. The truth can be verified by speaking with the Officer. These postings are false and the people who posted their negative views should have verified the truth with the officer first. There has been multiple attempts of apologies towards this family, however sadly, it has been met with no recognition. Retraction at this point appears hopeless from them. It is sad to see that the world has come to this kind of thinking here in Canada (racial treatment). Without just cause, they have been accused of being: - 2 pieces of garbage - they were shooting - 2 pieces of s**t put together - poachers - losers - du***ss - guilty, guilty, guilty.
