CapeCod.com – Jonathan Way of Osterville was jogging with his dog off Mary Dunn Road near the back of the Barnstable Municipal Airport when he was struck by two shots fired by Sean Houle, 47.
—————-
CapeCod.com – It was several years ago that coyote expert Jonathan Way of Osterville discovered that the local coyote seen on Cape Cod is really a hybrid between western coyotes and wolves.
Way is among those who have signed on to an effort to try to stop the hunting of coyotes…
Hold up a second. Jonathan Way, the dude who was shot by a hunter a few weeks ago, is an anti hunting activist? Like to the point where he believes that hunting is the reason he has been blocked from doing the research he wants to do? How has this not been brought up in any of the articles about the hunting accident or any of the articles about his research being blocked? Those two articles up there are from the same website just weeks apart.
Look I’m not saying that he got himself shot intentionally, nor am I saying that the hunter shot him because of who he is. What I am saying is that he most likely knew he was in a hunting area right? He also has a ton to gain if hunting is outlawed on Cape Cod. I’m also saying that hunters would have a good reason to hate this guy. I don’t know the answers to these questions, but why hasn’t anyone asked them?
I mean listen to this interview below. After this dude rails against hunting and blames it for his research being blocked, the interviewer asks him one question at the 13 minute mark about his recovery after being shot by a hunter and that’s it. Not one mention about it being quite a coincidence that he was involved in an accident that led people to suggest hunting should be banned on Cape Cod, which would pave the way for his research. On the other hand there was also not one question about if he thought he was targeted. Unreal.
Look, we are bloggers, not journalists, so I apologize for just asking a bunch of questions with no answers, but I’m pretty sure some real reporters read this website, so can one of you get on this please?

Gotcha
Gotcha
Im famaliar with this guy. My guess is he purposefully jogs in areas frequented by hunters. Puts all game on alert as.he jogs
I tip my tin foil hat to you .
Do not read too much into this. It's just a nice place to be. Please remember it's where the guy didn't think about where the high tension wires were and fried his buns off when he raised the truck bed. Had some great nooners out there with my wife in the 70's. Mary Dunn is cut in half by the airport but it is one of the few 'urban' retreats in that area. Let it go. Shit happens.
Just another washashore who moved here and wants to change everything. He is the precise reason that there is less land for safe interaction between hunters and non hunters. He can go back where he came from
That doesn't make any sense Dana. Please explain.
NO – he is local.
Like I said before, That is ludicrous.. Jon is not going to try and be killed by a hunter to prove a point. He is a local man who has children who he adores, is a volunteer, a coach & an asset to our community. If you believe in hunting, thats your prerogative, but don't slander a man you have zero knowledge of to gain leverage.
Well, as long as he didn't just show up here and want to change things
Something that would really be a helpful change would be anyone standing behind the argument that you don't have a voice if you weren't born here coming up with a more substantive line of reasoning.

Stfu Dana …sit back relax…u work for the town.

He 100% knew where he was and what he was doing. As for the guy who shot him, he was not a hunter, he was a poacher. There is a difference.
The guy that shot him is a complete jabroni.. He was deer hunting. Illegally, unethically, to pull the trigger on an unidentified target, I don't even have words to describe just that it's people like him that make it hard for guys like us. And as far as the guy that got smoked he is a complete jabroni as well for the simple fact of running through the woods without orange knowing people could be hunting at any time. As much as this guy is an anti hunter he is very knowledgeable and I have actually been studying his work for over a year now. He's actually pretty spot on and probably one of the most knowledgeable people on the east coast when it comes to coy wolves / coyotes.. Not defending him in anyway but I do admire and respect the work that he has put into learning about these animals that we love to hunt. Little does he know what he's helped me out a great deal and learning about them as well. I got two big piles into cameras out as we speak with hundreds of pics already..shoot straight my friends..(at a confirmed target of course)##the tale of two jabronis
Coyote worshiper sounds like he was already the victim of some abnormality before he got shot
Seriously? He was a teacher of mine in high school the man's a credible good guy and your trying to blast him on here? Get more info before you throw accusations and half cocked theories on a Web page.
This Article is dumb from what i remember reading Jon was jogging through the woods after hunting was supposed to be done for the day. So whether or not he was in a hunting area is irrelevant the guy should have not been hunting still and should have seen what he was shooting at not shot at a sound.
Stupid!! How's gonna get shot twice to try and prove anything I know Jon He got better sence than that..

How 'bout researching the hate crime against Mary Dunn? …she was burned to death in her cottage by the pond by locals who thought she was a "Voodoo-witch-doctor"!
What I don't understand is why he would be against hunting coyotes if he cares about them so much. They are out of control population wise and hunting is good for maintaining the species here. If we didn't hunt them many of them would die slowly from starvation having not enough prey. People don't understand that a good hunter will give an animal a way better death than it will likely face in the wild.
Kristen Thornton Navas It's not slander just a fact that some people actually do frequent areas they know hunters go in and purposely put themselves in harm's way. Not saying that's the case here but there are some activists crazy and stupid enough to risk their lives for their cause. There are plenty of times I've been deer hunting off the trails away from where I know people are only to walk up on someone trying to scare away animals in the hopes of ruining the experience for us. Someone got stuck with an arrow last year because a hunter released his arrow and the person spooked the deer. They took the arrow meant for the deer and then tried to blame the hunter. It can and has happened.
Tonya, although I appreciate & understand your perspective, Cape Cod does not have open space … Look at a map and see the miniscule size compared to New Mexico .. Look at our population – there is no safe area to hunt here, it's too populated. The few secluded places locals go to take walks, or run when coupled with people firing weapons is a disaster waiting to happen, like Mr. Dutras Cocker Spaniel that was killed in Truro right before Christmas…. 🙁
