Payson police report that two men were illegally hunting in city boundaries yesterday November 10th. Reports were that the two men jumped out of their trucks when spotting a rooster right across from the local McDonalds eatery.
Witnesses reported that both men were not quite accurate as both missed the rooster as it flew by them. The local sheriff while on a coffee run spotted the two pheasant hunters but was out manuvered by the quick driving of one of the suspects and the others suspects ability to blend in with the local shrubbery.
We had a chance to interview a home owner in the area where this event took place. Mr. Higgenbottom responded "My gosh was I scared when two gentlemen jumped out of there vehicle with shotguns! Reminded me of the war years! Gertrude my wife was all in a tussle! We quickly called the local authorities!"
When we told Mr. Higgenbottom that the two suspects were pheasant hunters he laughed and responded "Hell there hasn't been any pheasants around here for 20 years!!!" Were the two suspects fooled into shooting at "pheasant weeds" after long hours in their vehicle without seeing anything?
If you have any information on this event please contact sheriff Doolittle at 555-4545
These two outlaw hunters were spotted Wednesday at their hold up, Hatts Ranch. They were joined by a younger sure shot hunter. The younger one of the gang has not taken his hunter safety course but that didn't stop him. It was reported by Grandma Hatt he killed two pheasants with one shot. Be on the look out for the younger one. Or maybe his mother should be more careful who he hangs out with.
