The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office said a man was found dead after an apparent hunting accident.
Authorities said they found the man dead near a tree stand “from an apparent gunshot wound” after receiving a call Saturday night. The caller said the man had been hunting near Stumpf Road and Wild Goose Road in the Town of Oakfield earlier in the day. Authorities with the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office, Lifestar Ambulance and Oakfield Department responded to the call, finding the man died from what they believe was an “unintended discharge.” Police said the incident was isolated, but the case is still under investigation by the sheriff’s office and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
