I just caught an update at the 11pm news and apparently the hunter is recovering well in the hospital. He had pellets on the right side of his body from his face down to his hip. Thankfully his hunting buddy was only about 250 feet away and was able to call for help. The fire department used a ladder to get the boy down from his stand and then transported him to a nearby park where he was flown to the hospital in a helicopter. Other hunters were able to give a description and vehicle information to the authorities so hopefully they person gets caught or better yet turns himself in.

As I understand it the boy did attempt to alert this squirrel hunter to his presence. I'm not sure if the motion set off the hunter or if there was another reason. But regardless one of the first rules they teach you in hunters safety is topositively identify your target. But there is still no excuse for leaving the scene.
