A Maryland waterfowl hunter got a goose, but not in the way he expected.
Robert Meilhammer, 51, of Crapo was hunting with a group near Miles River in Easton late Thursday afternoon, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources said in a news release. The hunting group took shots at a flock of geese flying overhead, and one goose was struck dead, falling approximately 90 feet and striking Meilhammer.
Injured goose hunter ID: Robert C. Meilhammer, 51, of Crapo (Dorchester County). He is in stable condition at Maryland Shock Trauma, awaiting additional tests.
