First you say "buck shot", then you report the hunter was treated for "bird shot". Well, which is it? If you people don't know the difference between buck shot and bird shot then perhaps you should find out the difference BEFORE reporting on the story! It isn't that hard to figure it out. I'm sure someone at the station is smart enough to do it. Maybe not!
