Anyone still feel like defending this scum bag? I still feel sorry for his wife and daughters, but they ought to lock him up so he can suffer for what he's done.

He was under the legal limit, but just the principle of him having a few drinks before going out and hunting with a kid that young is something beyond me. The more I hear about this guy the more I think hes a POS.

[Blair Nelson]

He was under the legal limit when tested. Who knows what his level was when he shot. If there wasn't post activity drinking, he easily could have been over while "hunting".

[tacklejunkie]

now his son is dead and he will live the rest of his life with that. sled is right. save the drinks for after the hunt. esp with a youngster like that kid

In an earlier post, it said to go to any Wells Fargo branch to make a donation. I went to the branch in Mankato and they had no record of a fund that was set up.

Could it be Wells Federal and not Wells Fargo?

Klaseus is also charged with felony reckless discharge of a firearm and two misdemeanor charges: trespassing and hunting turkeys without a license. He was drawn to buy a license, but never made the $18 purchase

[Rick]

There is already a topic discussing Klaseus. Please post there on that topic.

Let's keep this one on topic discussing the Fund for the family, please.

I say give money to the fund for the family. They had nothing to do with this and deserve help buring this little boy. It's a tragedy that should never happen for sure.

There is a post going under turkey hunting Hunting Accident for the actual tragedy. I agree, keep this one for the fun.
