Gallatin Canyon Wall Tent Homicide

[Flatbrimmer]

Hard to speculate. It could have just been some deranged person that started chopping dude. That’s nuttier than squirrel shit I know that… maybe I will take the heater even if there ain’t bears… sad, man.

It's waaaay out of character for this area.
Hard to believe it's random.

Sooooo ... if you are prudent in practicing vigilance and security while a homicidal maniac is at large ... then YOU are "doing something wrong"? 'Don't savvy that.

Putting yourself in a position like that is the mistake. Camp elsewhere, stay in a hotel etc. It's like when someone says they only carry a gun when they go to a certain place...why are you going to a place that you feel is dangerous? Wasn't directed at you, and of course the suspect is the only bad guy in the equation, just personally wouldn't put myself in a situation like that to begin with.

Yep, between this story and the mountain lion fatality Steve Rinella recently did an podcast on I think I’m ready to buy a nice handgun.

My 10mm isn't for bear protection. Lots of weirdos in the woods these days. mtmuley

I know I’m not the only one thinking it…

Which current or former HT member is this most likely to be? Should we start a poll? To soon?

Lots of weirdos everywhere. There's times I get a bad vibe around certain people even at stores or gas stations.

No green cans around so I know one has a good alibi

Got my head on a swivel at all times these days.
It gets tiring. Like being back on the job.

This is a popular recreation area for undeveloped camping, hunting and ATV riding. No history of trouble at all.

Every camp should have a trail cam on it.
I sleep better with a couple of dogs around. But I usually leave them home with the family for protection when I'm away.
It doesn't matter 22lr or 44mag you gotta be awake to defend yourself.

This is creepy. My boss, a co-worker and I were shooting our rifles right at that intersection on Sunday. A couple of sheriffs deputies rolled by and stopped up the road a couple hundred yards right as we started shooting. I walked over to check in with them to make sure we weren’t going to make them nervous if there was a situation going on. They said we were fine and they were just checking something out.

Unsettling Gerald...
