HOLSTIEN - A Michigan man was treated and released from a local hospital Saturday morning following a hunting incident in Ida County.
Robert Grace, 38, of Holly, Mich. received two shotgun pellets in the throat while hunting pheasants with five other hunters near Holstien. The hunting party was in a terraced field when a pheasant flushed and Grace was shot.
