There has to be more on the following article. It just does not make sense!
From the Monday Appleton Post Cres.
Shooting death mars otherwise safe deer hunt
Opening weekend’s deer harvest up 4,000 from a year ago
By John Lee Post-Crescent staff writer
Hunters opened the nine-day gun deer season last weekend with a harvest of 171,584 deer, an increase of 4,011 over last year’s first two days, the state Department of Natural Resources reported Monday.
More importantly, DNR officials said, the opening weekend was the safest on record, with just one reported accidental shooting. That came in Waushara County, where an 18-year-old hunter was shot by his grandfather, and died after being flown from the hunting scene at Saxeville in the northwestern part of the county to Theda Clark Medical Center in Neenah.
This is the part I do not get, a brown and white blanket.
Waushara County Sheriff David Peterson said David Ruck was wearing blaze orange clothing, but had wrapped himself in a brown and white blanket and was walking through a wooded area when he was shot about 8:30 a.m. Sunday.
You have to feel bad for the grandfather.
It is always good to remind all hunters of safety before going out to the woods!
