LONG ISLAND – A Portland man suffered a minor injury when hit by buckshot fired by his hunting companion Saturday during a specially authorized hunt to remove nuisance deer on this Casco Bay island, the Maine Warden Service said.

Daniel Train, 31, was struck in the hand by a piece of buckshot after James Stewart, 36, of Windham, fired at a deer, Lt. Michael Marshall said.

The incident took place in an area covered by thick brush.

Marshall said wardens planned to visit the site to get a better sense of what led to the shooting. No charges have been filed.

Train and Stewart were among several hunters participating under a special permit for the hunt, which will continue for a second day on Monday.
