Two people in Kansas were hurt in separate hunting accidents over two days.
The first incident involved pheasant hunting in Graham County. It happened on Dec. 9.
The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism reconstruction team, with the help of K-9 Creed, were able to find the location of shells and the wad from the shot-shell the victim was shot with.
KDWPT says a man was taken to the hospital in critical condition by a medical helicopter. The man’s current condition is unknown.
In the second incident, the Greenwood County Sheriff’s Office says Eagle Med transported a 71-year-old Park City man to a Wichita hospital following a reported accidental shooting Tuesday afternoon in Greenwood County.
The sheriff’s office says at about 4 p.m. Tuesday, deputies, Greenwood County EMS and the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism responded to the 200 block of F75 Road in rural Greenwood County in response to the shooting that happened while Eldon Dale Holsey was hunting.
Upon arrival, a deputy found Holsey with a gunshot wound to his left hand and forearm.
