LOGAN | A bowhunter was charged with reckless homicide and involuntary manslaughter after he accidentally shot and killed another hunter, police said.

According to police reports, Frederick Huffman, 27, of Logan was in a tree stand just before dawn Sunday when he blindly fired an arrow at what he thought was a deer.

The arrow traveled 27 feet before piercing the right thigh of Kary Jenkins, 31, of Circleville, who was hunting with his 9-year-old son.

Huffman tried to save Jenkins by using his belt as a tourniquet and helped get him to a road to wait for help. Firefighters, paramedics and doctors were unable to resuscitate him.
