The Sabine Parish Sheriff's Department says they're investigating after a man was shot at while he was hunting on his own property. Sheriff Aaron Mitchell says the incident occurred during the noon hour on Wednesday as 66-year- old Wendell Wayne George was hunting on his own land in the Converse Community, about 5 miles east of Toledo Bend Reservoir. According to the sheriff, the man told deputies that whoever shot at him fired three shots from what was believed to have been a shotgun. The sheriff said "The rounds did not penetrate George's skin and he did not require medical attention." The sheriff said deputies searched the area, but couldn't find the shooter.
