Jacksonville contractor killed in South Carolina hunting accident

A 51-year-old Jacksonville contractor and avid outdoorsman was killed early Saturday after he was accidentally shot by a fellow hunter who thought he was a wild hog, according to South Carolina officials.Robert A. Iselin Jr., president of Marine Structures Consulting Inc. at 455 Trout River Drive, was shot once in the chest about 9 a.m. during a hunting trip in the woods near Ninety Six, south of Greenville.Lucius J. Brickweg, 25, of Satellite Beach has been arrested on charges of criminal use of a firearm and having no hunting license, said Capt. Robert McCullough of the Department of Natural Resources, which is investigating the shooting.

Iselin owned a bulkhead and dock-building company and was an outgoing hunter and fisherman, according to many photos on his Facebook page. Contacted at his company, a daughter said the family had no comment.McCullough said Iselin and four other hunters were camping in the woods Friday night.

In the morning Iselin and Brickweg got on an all-terrain-vehicle and went to a hunting stand in a tree. Iselin left Brickweg and said he would be back.“Some time after that, the victim rides back out and parks in the vicinity of the stand and walks,” McCullough said. “He is walking around and was 89 yards from point of impact and was shot there and probably died there.”
