If he was going to leave it behind, I would think he would leave it on the roof, not the woods. It would mean he would have to carry it away with him with all the ring cameras in the neighborhood, just to toss it in the woods.

It seems this shooting was well thought out by a very competent marksman, that is stupid enough to drop the gun where it was sure to be found anyway.

Couple of screws, that simple. And you could probably set it up with quick release if you wanted. So, what do you think? Silent Type Friday #18

Here's the photo I'm referring to (there's something strange with his right leg). I'm sure others have noticed: C Moon Friday #30

That's what I've been wondering, too. I would assume a rifle shooting a target that far away Vinca Friday #32
