Tragedy struck during a deer drive in Juniata County on Tuesday morning when a 26-year-old hunter lost his life after being shot. The incident occurred in Milford Township, where the victim was part of a 24-member hunting group.
As the group of “drivers” moved through the woods to push deer toward a line of waiting hunters, a buck suddenly broke through their ranks. In response, two drivers fired shots at the deer, but unfortunately, one of the shots struck the victim in the hip. Travis Lau from the Pennsylvania Game Commission reported that the commission was alerted to the scene around 8:50 a.m. The injured hunter was quickly transported to the hospital by ambulance but did not survive his injuries.
At this time, the victim’s name has not been released, and no charges have been filed as the incident remains under investigation.
