Not often something half a mile down this rural road makes tabloid news in Blighty, but....

Hunter searching for deer fires arrow at moving shape - only to hit his own son

A hunter bagged an unexpected prize while searching for deer to kill – his own son.

The hunter became the hunted after bungling David Minney, 79, fired an arrow at a target only to hit his 52-year-old son Brett.
---
Minney senior was stunned when he heard a man’s voice scream out – and even more shocked when it was revealed to be his own son.
---
Sheriff David Bartlett warned other hunters to be wary of what they are firing at and know what is behind their intended targets.
---
(Damn right; it could be me hobbling to the mailbox out front! Egad.)

Emergency services raced to the scene at around 6.40pm and took the injured man to hospital by air ambulance.
