It’s a complicated story about a shooting that injured a man ice fishing on Cobboseecontee Stream last Sunday.

That’s in Maine, which is only in the United States by geographic accident.

It seems that Bryan Hickey maybe accidentally shot Scott Fraley.  Hickey was out “shooting” and even through ice fishing as far a I know, which admittedly ain’t much, does not require a whole lot of movement.  I think maybe you just sit there freezing like a witch’s boob in a brass bra in the Klondike.    That make it real hard to step in front of a bullet.

But the real story is here:

“It was a gunshot wound to the head. It sounds like it was superficial,” District Game Warden Robert Decker said.

So now you are on your own to decide what was superficial – was it the gunshot or the head?

In my mind, anyone ice fishing in Maine in February leaves themselves open to that question.

By the way, did you know that it’s illegal to hun on Sunday’s in Maine?  Yeah, neither did I.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
