LYNDONVILLE, Vt. 1/18/14
Conrad Masse was finally charged with aggravated assault after accidentally shooting his friend, Wayne Goff, during a bear hunt on October 20, 2013, on Urie Rd. in Albany, VT.
Masse and Goff were chasing a bear down the road in a truck, in hopes to shoot it. Goff got out of the truck to wait for the bear to cross the road, and Masse continued driving about 500 ft. up the road to wait on the other side.
The bear crossed the road between the men, and Masse took fire with his Remington .30-06 Rifle. He fired three shots, one hitting the bear, one hitting a tree, and one hitting his Goff.
Goff was transported to the hospital for treatment after taking the shot in his midsection. He has been released since, and is stable.
Masse was also issued Fish and Game tickets for shooting from the road, having a loaded rifle in his vehicle, and not having the correct permits for hunting the bear.
