BRATTLEBORO-- Vermont Fish and Game is urging hunters to use
precautions during the hunting season.
On Sunday, the second day of deer season, a hunter shot himself
in the foot in Halifax, said Kelly Price, Vermont Fish and Game
Warden.
He said a small hunting party was unloading firearms on a back
patio when one of the rifles was accidentally discharged. The bullet
struck the man in the top of his left foot and exited through the
bottom of his heel. Price said the man was transported to
Brattleboro Memorial Hospital after the incident. The accident is
still under investigation and injuries sustained were non-life
threatening.
