On Sunday, a 62-year-old hunter aimed at a hare during a drive hunt in Michaelnbach (Grieskirchen district) but hit another hunter (67).
The latter was injured by two shotgun pellets. The 67-year-old was taken to the hospital by an emergency doctor, according to the police.
The hunting party had surrounded a small sloping wooded area and drove the animals onto an adjacent field. The 62-year-old was standing in a dip and shot at a passing hare. The shot is believed to have been deflected by a stone, hitting the 67-year-old who was sitting on a hill about 120 meters away.
