OH: Two hunting accidents
Hunters get a successful start to deer gun season
December 02, 2008 20:14PM
The first two days of Ohio's deer gun season have been the safest on
record.
Only two firearms incidents have been reported. In a shooting
accident in Athens County's Ames Township, Addison Jago, 48, shot Jack
Jago, 48, with a .50 caliber black powder rifle while mistaking the
hunter for a deer. The wounded hunter, hit in the left shoulder, was
treated at a local hospital. No information was available on the second
hunting accident.
Two sportsmen were reported dead, one falling from a tree stand in
Fairfield County that may have been related to a medical problem.
Another hunter was found dead in Wyandot County, and wildlife officials
don't believe the death was from a shooting incident.
