Hunter Shot In McPherson County
KSAL Staff - Sat 08:37 PM 09/01/2012
A hunter is shot on the opening day of dove season Saturday in McPherson County.
According to the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism, authorities are investigating a hunting incident that occurred early Saturday morning in southern McPherson County. A male hunter was injured, and transported to a Wichita hospital.
The incident is still under investigation, but appears to be an accident.
Preliminary reports indicate that the male hunter was shot in the face, and upper torso region, by another member of his hunting party. The hunter's injuries were not believed to be life threatening.
Kansas Game Warden Hal Kaina says that anytime a person receives a shotgun blast to the face he considers it a serious incident, with a high potential for a negative outcome. He advises that most bird hunting accidents occur while swinging a shotgun on game without properly identifying what is located behind your intended target.
The department will be bringing in their hunting accident investigation unit to work with local wardens to complete the investigation.
Kaina added that hunting is generally considered a safe recreational activity but care should always be taken in the field around other hunters. Hunters should be aware of their surroundings and where they are pointing their firearms at all times.
Saturday was the opening weekend for the 2012 dove season in Kansas.

Its stupid people who are not thinking that cause things like this to happen. Whocares aka redneckwatch no longer can be in possession of a fire arm since he is a convicted felon.

And as soon as you get there, i will be nice enough to give you 3 choices, 22, 9mil, 12 guage, you pick... Do your little guns still fire caps? Do want me to jump and play dead when you aim your little cap gun at me and shoot it?

I agree with equineman7, but unfortunately WhoCares is to scared to give his address on here cause he is nothing but a little boy trying to talk big. Go ahead and post your address WhoCares if you have the balls, if not shut the hell up.

Viper I still want a piece of this Guy if I can fine him. But playing his game on here was not right especially to people just wanting to read or comment on the stories. Reading the banter of others is not to good.

Caught up now. WHoCares, you are talking to 2 people, both losers. Gonnagetu is getalife and equineman too. He goofed and admitted he was getalofe trying to unsuccessfully one-up me on another story.And I know he is equineman becasue he said the exact smae thing (sentence structure and all) to me on another post. Viper is enforcer, who changed his online name thinking it would throw the authorities off track about his bomb threats. Both are worms and both squirming out of their hate-filled skins. We are winning WhoCares. Truth and jsutice always prevail over evile and hate. Got the worms squirming but good now. VICTORY IS OURS BOOOOOYAHHHHHHHH. Keep up the good work WHocares. Evey time these bigots vomit their hatred on this site (as opposed to an opinion about a story that does not cross the line into bigotry), we will make them squirm. Go to the story "Man Arrested for Forgery" and watch getu melt down WhoCares. AHHHHH, MILLER TIME.

reading the posts redneck looks like you are talking to yourself you dumb sob. Nobody goofed on anything and if you would print your address you would find about 7 or 8 of us on your door step. In your warped mine you think you have it figured out but you aren't even close. I did read where you admitted being in prison why don't you tell us about what bubba did to you.

Hey Worms Getalife and Viper -- can't you be any more original than stealing our material? Are you really that thick? We want you to tell us what you think of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transexuals, African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asians. Same right or not? Explain your answer,

Redneck first off the gay ordinance will not pass because you gays do not need more rights than anyother citizen. Further there are not any cases of gays being abused for housing or jobs so why have an ordinance. As to you wanting my or others views on your list if you were not so stupid you would already know by the posts we made present and past. Finally you are the biggest bigoted person on here and all you put out is hate towards everyone.

Sure you do Buttons. KSAL is not going to take your side or mine, but will remain an uncensored forum operating under a federal license. But it amuses me that you are so defeated that all you can do is threaten to contact KSAL, which you have threatened over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. The death threats and bomb threats you made against me and others under various names are going to land you in prison for a good stretch. And your hate and stupidity will serve as a reminder to all reasonable people why, in 2012, we still need civil rights legislation to protect innocent, hard working, tax paying, overall good citizens of tis state from backward thinking, hate-filled, imature bullies like you and your ilk. 3,2, 1, BLASTOFF. Houston, we have liftoff of the bigot ship being captained by Buttons the Big-Mouth Bully, who's favorite pastime is squirming like a worm. Hahahahaha ahahahahahahahahahaha

Really redneck your vile on here is unforgiving. Meal used to delete statements and remove violators like yourself. Once again you falsely accuse me of making death threats. I just told you I whip your butt in a new York minute and that has not changed. Just because you are gay you feel you need more protection then anyone else when there is not one case that anyone ever abused any gay person in housing or employment. What should be being pushed is the gays violating all the sexual laws on the books with their style of living. Further police should not be turning their back to the antics of the gays in Thomas Park that ha been going on for years.
