In one of the field exercises during this week's Hunting Incident Academy, investigators Ryan Niehus of the Oregon State Police (left) and Scott Van Buren of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission traced a blood trail along a dirt road to a shooting site in thick brush.

Volunteer Mark Debord (left), who played the part of one of the hunters in the area during the incident, gave investigator Nathan Erdman of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation a hard time about yielding his shotgun. Debord and fellow volunteer Jerry Payne (right), actually both West Virginia Natural Resources Police officers, were instructed to attempt to confuse the investigators.
