GETTYSBURG, SD – A Minnesota hunter was flown to a Sioux Falls hospital after a shotgun pellet struck his right eye while he was hunting in north central South Dakota.
Potter County Sheriff Alan McClain says 67-year-old Emile Pille of Esko, Minnesota, was hunting with a dozen others from the Duluth area when the accident occurred Monday afternoon.
McClain says Pille’s companions took him to a Gettysburg hospital and he was later flown to Sioux Falls for surgery. Hospital officials did not release information on his condition.
