(OAKFIELD) A deer hunter is dead in Fond du Lac County in what may be the deer season’s first fatality. Deputies report a hunter was found dead near a tree stand Saturday night in the Town of Oakfield. Initial reports say the 24-year-old from Lomira died of an accidental gunshot. The victim has not been identified pending notification of family. Wardens remind hunters to be careful getting in and out of their tree stands, and to lower and raise their rifles using a sling rather than attempting to carry them into the stand themselves.
