Chris, there's a process with evidence. We knew it was shot but if the person responsible is caught and arrested, when the case goes to trial the forensic evidence is going to be the key element in the entire case. There is no forensic lab in Connecticut that can do a forensic examination on wildlife and provide expert witnesses to testify in court. If this was a sexual assault, a shooting involving a human, etc., then yes, the Connecticut State Police Forensic Lab would have handled it. But they don't do wildlife cases. They don't have the experts in animal and bird biology. The USF&W Service has the best wildlife forensic lab in the country. Because of the federal nexus of the violation we were able to use their services to conduct a full forensic exam of the bird and their experts will come here to testify in court if needed.

I got a PM requesting info on how you guys could go about adding to the reward amount. I didn't know so I checked with my Colonel. He suggestion was that you have two options. One would be to gather your funds and let us know what you could contribute and we would do an additional press release to inform the public or, you could contact the Humane Society directly and add the money to that fund. He has the contact for the HSUS if you need it.

From my perspective, if CTF comes up with something additional for the reward and you want to go with option #1 where we do a press release, the press release would state that the members of CTfisherman.com added to the reward. I don't know if the Humane Society would do the same or not.

Either way, if you want to do something that I can assist with let me know.

Just so you know HSUS is one of the largest and most powerful anti-hunting orgs in the country. They fund rewards to make hunting look bad. Illegal hunters should look bad and go to jail, but HSUS does everything they can to link legal hunting with illegal actions like killing eagles.

X3 - HSUS is against all hunting. And fishing next.

"HSUS knows an attempt to completely ban hunting would never work, politically. Instead, their idea is to label and isolate specific practices within hunting to create emotional media attention to mislead voters, while ignoring scientific facts and conservation needs. Every time a law gets passed to eliminate specific hunting practices, HSUS gets closer and closer to their ultimate goal – the elimination of all hunting."

....If we have any say... Vote for May

do they know what type of amunition was used (shot, single bullet, gernade)?
