Case of Mistaken Identity Earns One Boy a Free Hunting Trip

Sometimes even mistakes can lead to good things.

Two sheriffs in Pennsylvania and South Carolina have teamed up to send one 9-year-old boy on his first hunting trip, and it all began as a misunderstanding. According to the Charlotte Observer, the story began with Sheriff Alex Underwood of Chester County, South Carolina. Underwood periodically plans hunting and fishing trips for children in need, or those who do not have someone to introduce them to the great outdoors.
