A hunter is recovering after being shot in the face in Madison, New Hampshire.

Shortly after 10 a.m., New Hampshire Fish and Game officials were notified that a man suffered a gunshot injury while turkey hunting.

The man and his hunting partner were working opposite sides of a clearing when a turkey passed between them, and the man’s partner fired a single shot that sent several shotgun pellets into his face and upper torso.

The pair was able to walk back to their vehicle to get medical attention.

The man’s injuries are not life threatening.

The incident is currently under investigation.
