Charges To Face After
Bear Hunting Gone Wrong
The Vermont state police and department of fish and game
have finished their investigation on a hunting related shooting that happened October
20th.
Conrad Masse, age 76 was charged with aggravated assault after
shooting Wayne Goff, age 58 while bear hunting together.
The police concluded that Masse was driving his truck when
he let Goff out of his truck. Masse continued to drive his truck over five
hundred feet where he waited for the bear.
The bear crossed the road in between Masse and Goff. Masse
opened fire and shot three times one hitting the bear, one hitting a tree, and
one hitting Goff in the midsection and in the pelvic area.
Goff was transported to North Country and later to Dartmouth
Hitchcock medical center. He has been released from the hospital and is in stable
condition.
He was also issued fish and game tickets for
shooting from the road, having a loaded rifle in his vehicle, and not having proper
display of permits for the bear hounds.
