The second hunter, also from Dutchess, had killed a deer and was using a cart to remove it from property on Stormville Mountain, owned by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, said Kevin Keefe, chief of the East Fishkill Police Department.
The first hunter saw the deer moving, thought it was alive, fired and struck the first hunter in the hand and buttocks. The injured hunter was taken to Danbury Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The incident occurred at about 10:25am. One hunter was from Wappingers Falls, the other was from Beacon.
Keefe said East Fishkill police assisted the state Department of Environmental Conservation police, who have jurisdiction over the incident because the state regulates hunting. The regular deer and bear southern zone hunting seasons opened at sunrise last Saturday and runs through until Sunday, Dec. 7.

How come it is ok to kill innocent deer, but as soon as a murdering human gets hit it's all like ooh, soo bad, man.
Go hunt humans, then let the hunted humans still alive hunt you, take turns.
Or, and how about this, stop killing things for fun, you psychopaths !
Why do you assume that it is for fun? If they're dragging it out, it seems that this deer will be used for food. As long as it's for food, I don't have a problem with hunters, I couldn't do it, but I eat meat, which means that somebody did it for me.
