A dove hunter was able to drive himself to the hospital after
being accidentally peppered with pellets.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said Kevin
D. Kirby, 39, was hunting in Columbia County when the accident
happened late Saturday afternoon. FWC officers were notified after
Kirby showed up at Lake City Medical Center to have several pellets
removed.
“He told us that he was downrange when he was hit by pellets from
another hunter’s shotgun,” said FWC spokeswoman Karen Parker. “No
charges are being filed.”
