Something like this happened by Lanesboro in Fillmore County ten (?) years or so ago.

I remember hearing about that incident, and then reading the news story, which said that guy too received superficial wounds when his head was grazed by a slug.

read in the paper 4 hunters died over the weekend with a handful of other injured, scary stuff

I know of one guy who shot off his thumb while trying to load his gun, and another who filled his barrel with mud and ended up with barrel fragments in his leg...That was only two accidents in murray county, i wonder how many accidents happened all around the state.

Look beyond your target...always, and when sitting, figure out where you can and cannot shoot when you sit down, not when the deer pop out in front of you. Think safe and hunt another day!

those were 2 incidents that were in the paper, one guy died from natural causes, another fell from a tree stand after it started on fired from lighting the heater, i cant remember the other ones, another person shot from not seeing beyond the target.

I'm aware of one death and he had his girlfriend in the stand with him when it happened, sad sad deal. I worried some about the high wind and the conditions of the thousands of deer stands in the state.

the guy is lucky to be alive. Close calls like this should never happen.

This is journalism at it's finest. Great grammar. Good to see people getting paid to throw the fundamentals of the english language out the window.

Hawkinson say, "He can be thankful to God for walking another day, and living another day."

Salmon says, "It won't make me quite, nothing will make me quite."

Yeah, you hate to pick on a young girl but that kind of journalism drives me nuts too. Molly Miles needs a proofreader.

Their was a 14 year old boy killed by mora on Sat.

[Jarrid Houston]

WOW- Yeah, glad he is okay, and sad for the hunters that were not so lucky over the weekend. A reminder to be safe out there!!!

Is it just my perception, or does it seem like more people are becoming more careless and ignorant when it comes to gun season?

Not your perception. Just the way it is.
