Is it just me, or does hunting season always bring a certain… frisson to the air? Maybe it’s the crisp autumnal breeze, the thrill of the chase, or the unsettling knowledge that somewhere out there, someone’s probably wearing camouflage ironically. But this Sunday on Investigation Discovery, the chill goes beyond pumpkin spice lattes. “Before They Kill Again” tackles a case where the woods hold a far more sinister secret than your average rogue squirrel.
Forget errant bullets and tragic falls; this time, it’s murder most foul, disguised as hunting mishaps. “The Outdoorsman Killer” chronicles the disturbing pattern of deaths initially written off as unfortunate accidents. Turns out, a serial predator is stalking the wilderness, turning a beloved pastime into a deadly game. And as another hunting season dawns, the pressure’s on to bag this killer before they claim another victim.
Look, I’m not saying I’m trading my flannel for a Kevlar vest just yet, but this episode does raise some eyebrows. It makes you wonder how many “accidents” are actually something far more disturbing. It’s the kind of true-crime puzzle that’ll have you double-checking your tree stand and eyeing your hunting buddies with suspicion. Just be sure to tune in before venturing into the great outdoors; you might pick up a few survival tips. Or at the very least, a healthy dose of paranoia.
“Before They Kill Again” airs Sunday at 10:00 pm on Investigation Discovery.
