Hunter Shot At Jordan Lake Game Lands
December 30, 2008
Bob Shuller was deer hunting with a group of hunters when he was struck in the neck and leg with buckshot pellets. The group was hunting in an area near the boat ramp at Farrington Point around 10 am when the accidental shooting happened. While the circumstances around how this accident happened have not been released this is an area hunters often to deer drives. A deer drive is where hunters walk through brushy area attempting to force deer past standing hunters. While some states have outlawed this style of hunting deer drives are legal in North Carolina. Driving deer can be dangerous especially if hunters are not sure of where each other are and a deer runs between them. Bob Shuller under went emergency surgery as a result of his injuries his condition is unknown at this time. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission Enforcement Division is investigating the shooting and will present the information to Chatham County Prosecutors for a decision on whether or not to bring charges against the shooter.
There is only a few days left in the deer season so lets be careful folks as we bring the season to a close.
Moose Droppings is a place that chronicles my journey, I’ll explore new places and ideas I’ll learn new things and I’ll teach the things I’ve learned to others. Join me on the adventure and hopefully it will help you in your outdoor endeavors.
