Clay County neighbors of Bloomington dentist Walter Palmer say they have had ... - INFORUM
On Monday, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service said it couldn't find Palmer and is hoping to question him about the incident. In a statement to his patients, the dentist wrote he was relying on his local guides to ensure a legal hunt. Palmer appears to have gone into hiding since then. Palmer's love of hunting often brings him to our region. She didn't find the dentist, but she did find some of his unhappy neighbors. Walter Palmer owns more than 500 acres in Southeast Clay County. He purchased the land in 2001. His neighbors say immediately the Twin Cities dentist pounded in stakes and disputed property lines. None of Palmer's neighbors want their identities known. They say the dentist doesn't get along with those bordering his land. Various global outlets report Palmer paid more than $50,000 to safari guides for the hunt. It's a quieter scene three-and-a-half hours north, but the tight-knit community is at odds with Palmer, too. Neighbors say he equipped his vast acreage with surveillance cameras and is quick to call the authorities if anyone steps onto his property. Source: www.inforum.com
