A 44-year-old man from Inverness, Illinois is dead after being shot while deer hunting Saturday morning in rural East Dubuque in Jo Davies County. Authorities say John P. Hanlon was killed by a single gunshot wound to the chest. Hanlon's 15-year-old son has been treated
and released from The Finley Hospital in Dubuque or a gunshot wound he suffered in the accident. Authorities say he was injured by the same gunshot that killed his father. The Jo Davies County Sheriff's Department, Menomine/Dunleith Fire and Ambulance, East Dubuque Police, Illinois State Police and the Illinois DNR responded to the scene of the hunting accident just after 5:30 am, near the intersection of Highway-20 and Dunn Road. After an investigation, 53-year-old Kelly G. Jackson of East Dubuque has been issued a citation by the Illinois Conservation Police, for Reckless Conduct. That's considered a misdemeanor. The incident remains under investigation. All three were deer hunting at the time of the accident.


He got charged with a damn misdemeanor so basicly this bone head is going to out deer hunting again most likely during the 2nd gun season I was walking to my hunting spot this day at 530 and it was pitch black in fact the cloud cover made it to where i couldnt shoot until well after 6:30 this is why i carry a flashlight at all times on public lands and i shine that sucker in all directions until im seated.
