Hunter is ok!
Rumors being told indicate Mark Poirier, age 50 of 14 Tiderman Road, Wales, was in the woods when allegedly his father spotted a piece of white clothing (on Mark) in the distance. He mistook it for a (white tail) deer and shot with a bow and arrow. Additional rumors say Mark is home recovering from the injury.

I was taught to have a positive Id on your target before shooting. But they call hunting a sport???? If it was a sport then all hunters should wear fur coats and antler hats. Hunting is really about feeding the family.
