Hunting Accident
On October 3, 2022, at 2:31 PM the Grant County Sheriff’s Office received radio transmission from the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch about a hunting incident in the backwaters of the Mississippi River near Wyalusing State Park involving a person who had been shot in their arm and leg.

Scott Imes, 49, of Mukwonago, WI was duck hunting and his wife, Dawn Imes, 51, was with him along with their two dogs. While Scott was getting back into their boat from the shore, the firearm discharged one time, striking him directly in an arm and leg.

First responders from Bagley, assisted by a private boat (from a Cuba City Fire Department member) were able to reach Scott and Dawn and he was transported to the boat landing and brought from there to Med-Flight which had landed at the part.

The Grant County Sheriff’s Office responded to this incident along with Bagley Fire/First Responders, West Grant EMS, the Bloomington Fire Department, along with the Wisconsin DNR Conservation Wardens. The Clayton County Sheriff’s Office assisted by taking the initial 9-1-1 call and remaining on the line with the caller.

The incident is being investigated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and does not appear to be suspicious in nature.
