Man Thinks Dead Deer Is Alive, Shoots, Misses, Hits Another Hunter

New York state’s hunting season started off with a bang on Saturday, with its first comic shooting accident. A Duchess County man thought he had the perfect trophy in his crosshairs when he took his shot. However, there was a slight hitch: The deer was already dead, and another hunter was dragging it out of the woods. Making things even more spectacular, the shooter missed the deer altogether and instead hit the other man in the buttocks and hand.

The wounded hunter was taken to a nearby hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. No word on who got to keep the highly sought after deer carcass.

Deer and bear hunting season runs until Sunday, Dec. 7. There were 19 accidents in New York state in 2013, including five hunter-on-hunter/bystander. If opening day is anything to go by, we should pull out the lawn chairs and put on some popcorn, because this year looks set to be a doozy.

  1. These Elmer Fudd Nimrods are dangerous. Last year I wore hunter orange to the gym: Lots of Elmer Fudd Nimrod rednecks at Great Falls MT gym!

  2. I DESPISE THE SELF PROCLAIMED “HUNTERS”… THEY ARE NOTHING BUT COLDBLOODED MURDERERS! At the same time any one eating animal flesh is supporting, encouraging, promoting and allowing billions of peaceful, helpless animals to be enslaved, raped, used, abused and slaughtered for 5 min. pleasure a day… just as bad!!!??? GO FIGURE…UHHHH?
