“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

The hunt for politeness continues.

Joshua Perrone was in an area of thick vegetation when members of his hunting party “unknowingly partially encircled an area of dense cover in an attempt to harvest a pheasant that was hiding in the thicket,” Fish & Game said in a news release.

When the pheasant emerged and took to the air, one of hunters in the party fired a single shot that resulted in “multiple pellets” flying past the pheasant and striking Perrone, who received “multiple, non-life threatening wounds,” Fish & Game said.
