SCAPPOOSE, Ore. (AP) — A northwest Oregon sheriff says a 24-year-old St. Helens woman out hunting with a friend suffered a severe leg wound in an apparently accidental shooting.
Sheriff Jeff Dickerson said Lindsay Roub was wounded Friday afternoon when the rifle she had been carrying discharged as she was handing it to her hunting partner.
The sheriff says Roub and 39-year-old Raymond Ozias of St. Helens had been hunting in a rural area a few miles west of Scappoose.
They reportedly were walking down a steep hill in pursuit of a buck. The sheriff says the rifle discharged as Roub asked her friend to take her weapon so she could climb down.
Ozias called for help. Deputies found Roub barely conscious. After treatment by medics, she was carried out of the woods and taken to a Portland hospital.

I guess it’s only fair women hunters have their share of hunting accidents too.]

I wonder if Roub covers the cost of deputy assistance and transport to a Portland hospital or if the rest of us pick up the bill through taxes. May have to file a Freedom of Info request to find out.
OMG, I hate that bitch. (Too bad, so sad about the gsw, not.)
