Police are confident of finding the gunman wanted over the shooting of a 58-year-old man after running an information caravan in the area last week.

Detective acting sergeant Andrew Brady said the van had generated positive information.

"A number of locals have come forward, people who possess little parts of the jigsaw puzzle,'' he said.

Police have described the victim as a recluse, who had lived at the High St property for 10 years.

The shooting occurred about 6am.

He was home by himself and heard a car horn in the driveway. He walked five metres from his caravan before being shot in his right leg at close range.

He lay on the ground for up to two hours, drifting in and out of consciousness, before dragging himself to his caravan to call Triple-0.

At the scene last week, Det Acting Sgt Brady said that although police had no suspects, they would keep investigating until they found what they needed.

He said people had reported hearing a car and a gunshot that morning.

"We're keeping an open mind and following several lines of inquiry,'' he said.

Det Acting Sgt Brady said the man was permanently disabled after receiving "horrific injuries'' from the single gunshot wound, which struck near a joint.

He said the man was physically unable to return to the property and was undergoing rehabilitation.

"The offender was not known to him and he hasn't been able to help us greatly due to his condition,'' he said.

He renewed the call for information, saying someone must have heard a gunshot or seen a car speeding away.

"At that time, early in the morning in the country, people could be walking the dog, going for a run, farming .th.th. a noise like a gunshot would carry far,'' he said.

A neighbour, who declined to be named, said he had little to do with the man and heard nothing that day.

"It's put a bad name on what is a good community," he said.
