Last May, a turkey hunter was shot in his left eye as he sat in a makeshift while turkey hunting. According to a Tulsa World<\/a> report, the injured hunter was accidently shot by another hunter, who had mistakenly believed that he heard turkey sounds nearby. Apparently, when the defendant hunter awoke from a nap, he aimed his hunting rifle at what he believed were turkey decoys. In actuality, he had blinded another hunter who was perched up high in a tree also searching for turkey. <\/p>\n

The defendant hunter was charged with the misdemeanor of reckless conduct of a firearm and he received a $900 fine for his actions that inflicted injury upon another. Additionally, the defendant hunter will be under supervised probation until January 2012, since he is a first-time offender.<\/p>\n

The attorney for the defendant was not satisfied with the outcome of the investigation, because he believes that hunters accept a certain level of risk from other hunters when they participate in the activity of hunting.<\/p>\n

Although the turkey hunter who lost his left eye has recovered from the wounds to his face and the headaches that followed the Tulsa personal injury accident, he will continue to experience certain spatial perception difficulties as a result of his disability. <\/p>\n
