On Saturday, April 23, 2016, 63-year-old Michael Adams of Oelwein, Iowa, was shot and killed while turkey hunting with a group in a wooded area north of Maynard. Around 3 p.m. a single gunshot wounded him; emergency services were called but he died of gunshot injuries to his face and chest. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources opened an investigation and determined the fatal shot came from another hunter in the same hunting party.

Local reports described Adams as an avid outdoorsman and a familiar face in the community. Few other details about the circumstances or the investigation’s final conclusions have been disclosed.

Did anyone in the area know Michael Adams or have information about that April 2016 hunting party?
