    January 4, 2021. In the wake of a recent murder of a bow hunter in Camden County, ANJRPC is urging all hunters and sportsmen to be extra vigilant and aware when engaging in outdoor activities.

    54-year old hunter Joseph Bottino was found stabbed and beaten to death outside a Boy Scout reservation in Pine Hill. The murder is unsolved and being investigated by the Camden County Prosecutor's Office. Read more about the incident by clicking here.

    Hunters are cautioned to be aware of their surroundings, to consider hunting with others, to make family and friends aware of their plans, and to be extra alert about your personal safety.

    Maybe an in the woods argument with another hunter? Maybe targeted and followed? Seems less likely given he was beaten and stabbed both.

    A whole lot of detail missing. Was he just entering or leaving the woods, rather than accosted in the woods?

    Maybe purposely vague. But something smells funny with this one.

    Damn, that's crazy. Definitely sounds like a struggle, multiple blunt force injuries and multiple stab and incise wounds.

    He should have just bought the tin of overpriced popcorn and everyone could have gone their own way.

    Strange

    It’s my belief that 2021 will see a sharp uptick in violence. Much of it may not be explained or explainable.

    I forsee lots of folks who have found their breaking point. Social values have plummeted. Social and judicial accountability are a sham. Government no longer controls violence.

    Folks are primed to settle grudges and act out fantasies the old fashioned way.

    What do they have to lose? Nada mucho.

    PS. Not a good time to F with folks you really don’t know. ...or not.

    Behind any highly successful firefighter, you just may find a closet arsonist.

    NOT KNOCKING FIREFIGHTERS. GOD BLESS THEM.

    Making a point about politicians and bureaucrats. They foment bedlam and legislate and pass abominable legislation, then blame everybody else.

    ...and we re-elect them. SMH

    You don't make it on the ballot because of your integrity. It's like eating at a restaurant with a dirty kitchen. Doesn't matter how many choices are on the menu, all of them will make you sick.

    My guess is he got into it with a homeless person squatting on the property. That area is a little rough. Lots of drugs too.

    It was obviously a gang of super intelligent deer with a blood lust like the one in the video. I will need detailed forensic data of the puncture wound to compare to my deer antler database. All deer are required to submit a shedding to the MSP for use in future forensic investigations. It's only a matter of time until we can stop speculating and have some hard facts. just be patient.

    It's right down route 30 from Camden. I'm betting drug dealing thugs or illegals set on him.

    Camden isn't actually that close, maybe 40 minutes depending on traffic. No one from Camden is going there to deal any kind of drugs. There's plenty in the surrounding immediate area.

    Illegals is not a bad angle though. But, my money is still on homeless squatters.
