SIREN, Wis. (AP) - An Illinois man is the second hunter to be
accidentally shot during Wisconsin's deer season.
Burnett County Medical Examiner Mike Maloney says 29-year-old Scott
Kiefer of Montgomery, Illinois, was killed Monday afternoon about 20
miles east of Siren.
Investigators say Kiefer was shot by another member of his hunting
party when a rifle discharged after getting caught in some brush.
The group was tracking a wounded deer at the time. The shooter was
54 years old.
The first hunting fatality was an 18-year-old Saxeville man who was
fatally shot by his 63-year-old grandfather who mistook him for a deer
on Sunday.
