expert witness on behalf of the State of Vermont in the hunting-related
shooting
homicide case State v. Brian Gilbert. Eric came highly
recommended
because of his work both as a Vermont Game Warden and as Vice President
of the
International Hunter Education Association, and his work fully met our
expectations. The opinions Eric expressed in this case about
defendant's
failure to abide by the applicable standard of care in the hunting
community
were carefully thought out, thoroughly researched, and supported by
solid
evidence. Eric was a well prepared and strong witness during his
deposition before the case was resolved through a plea
agreement, effectively communicating his opinions without ever appearing
adversarial. He also was responsive to the State's scheduling-related
needs and did his work in a cost effective manner. I am pleased to be
able
to provide this recommendation for Eric Nuse."

The volunteers all appreciated your expertise and guidance on the subject of hunter education. Because of your assistance we might just be able to develop the premier hunter education program in North America. We were blessed to have your assistance on this very important subject. Thanks again for everything. The conference would not have been the tremendous success it was without your valued participation." Timothy J.
