CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Overall, five people were injured, none
fatally, on Sunday, the second day of the shotgun deer season in
Iowa.
Around noon in Monroe County, a deer slug hit Clint
Morgan, 48, in the elbow. The Saucier, Mississippi native was with
six others hunting, southwest of Blakesburg, when someone in his
party fired a shot. Both men are being treated a Des Moines
hospital.
In a separate incident, Stacy Marie Wiltfang, 32,
of Halbur, was hunting with one other person north of Arion in
Crawford County at approximately 3 p.m. While she was sitting, a
bullet from a high-powered small caliber rifle penetrated her boot,
but did not penetrate her foot. She was treated and released at
Crawford County Memorial Hospital in Denison.
So far this
year, there have been a total of 11 personal injury hunting-related
incidents reported to the DNR.
