All those folks (like myself) heading off to hunt camp over the next couple weeks better think twice before going to the outhouse.
Yikes!!!
QMI agency just reported a story about a Norwegian hunter who aimed at a moose, missed and accidentally hit a man sitting on the toilet in a nearby cabin.
The bullet whizzed past the animal, pierced the wooden wall behind it and struck the man, in his seventies, in the stomach, the force told public broadcaster NRK.
The victim was flown by helicopter to hospital but his injury was not life-threatening, said the policeman who led the investigation, Anders Stroemsaether.
The hunter was taken in for questioning in Hvaler district, about 120km southeast of the capital of Oslo, said the force. The moose apparently escaped unscathed.
Makes you wonder about the safety of hanging around hunt camp and just when you thought the outhouse was your last safe haven…
Off to the woods people, that’s the best place to be…
Good luck to all local hunters and be safe out there this Fall!
