Hunter Accidentally Shot Sat in Foster County

Carrington (CSi) — A waterfowl hunter was injured Saturday morning in an accidental shooting in southeast Foster County

Sheriff Michael Tufte says  the waterfowl hunter was accidentally struck in the lower abdomen after a deer hunter shot at a buck that was running toward the area where the waterfowl hunters were concealed.

The waterfowl hunters heard the shooting and were putting on blaze orange clothing to become more visible when one of them was hit.  The hunter was taken to the hospital in Carrington and then transferred to Fargo.

The accident remains under investigation.   Tufte says, it did not appear the injury was life-threatening.
