A 68-year-old man was airlifted to Hamilton General Hospital at around 7 a.m. Thursday after he sustained a gunshot wound to the chest.
The incident, which occurred near No. 15 Sideroad and Guelph Line, appears to be a hunting accident, said Halton Regional Police Media Relations Officer Sergeant Barry Malciw.
The man is said to be in critical condition. Investigators with Halton police are on scene.

The latest update I found is that he is stable condition and that they are still trying to figure out how he came to be shot. The article is from yesterday so maybe they will announce more today.

68 is not old, just more painful.
Remember you don't stop hunting because you get old, you get old because you stopped hunting.
sure hope this didn't involve a tail fan mounted to a gun.
Tail fan on a gun should not matter. If you can't see a beard you should not be shooting. That's it . pretty simple realy
Oh I completely agree with you, but we both know not everyone does :)Quote:

all sorts of scenario's, they say Turkey hunting is one of the most dangerous for a reason.
That is one of the reasons why public land turkey hunting scares me a bit. I hunt on a farm with three fields. You sign in to your field at the front gate, first come first serve. You sign out when you leave.
Now,there's a novel and very smart idea. Unfortunately,there's no info on what happened. It may have been something as simple as an accidental discharge. All joking aside,I sure hope the guy's OK.Quote:

Haven't heard anymore on it. I live a couple concessions from the mishap. Hopefully all is good. Let's wait and see.

Is this a lease type thing ???Quote:

Has anyone heard any more information about this incident? I have hunted a few PO lands in that area...haven't since.
Thanks & safe hunting!
Nope , haven't heard a thing.
Nothing in the local paper this wee. Still waiting.

Not to be crass, but doesn't this break our safe hunting streak? I remember hearing during my hunting class about how hunting was actually one of the safest sports and how we'd gone years without an accident.
But maybe that was years without a fatal accident ?
I hope the fella pulls thru, sounds like his area was likely a Turkey hunt - only other running season right now would be black bear, would much rather be hit with turkey shot...
I have never heard of any years without an accident. But yes it is still a very safe sport.
