It isn't clear how many workers were part of those plans, but the hunters say they've heard reports of an increasing number of poaching cases (the number of hunters killed last year was nearly 40 percent), or on the ground or through hunters' claims and tactics.
What's more, two hunts had already left for the area, meaning the three hunters were already back to work; one is now hunting in the area. The hunters say they've been using their cellphones to communicate.
On their site, the hunters say they've heard reports of reports of people being killed (in the last six months, there have been 24 reported such killings in Gresham alone) or of coyotes attacking animals, and others reported being shot. One, in New Mexico, used his phone to call up a number from the local sheriff's office that had been "assigned" to the sheriff's office to protect an alleged illegal hunting lodge.
So far, no information on when the hunters were killed or how they were involved has been released, and Hunter's says it's waiting for a response from the sheriff's office from which it was notified.
If nothing is forthcoming, the hunters are still looking for a place to live in New Mexico. They would like the sheriff's department to make sure there's a better deal and to take any legal action that would help in this instance.
To that end, they say they're considering moving out of Gresham.

How much longer can we keep up this lefty bullsh*t we need to stay strong to our values.
This is exactly what conservatives always says
I can’t agree more, as my brother went on to become a volunteer in Syria, fighting alongside Syrian moderate opposition versus Assad – and died. All because US did not stop Assad in 2011-2012.
