Dogs Shoot Man on Hunting Trip !

CHICAGO – A pack of hunting dogs shot an Iowa man as he went to

retrieve a fallen pheasant, authorities said.

 
James Harris, 37, was shot in the leg while hunting with some friends

on Saturday afternoon.

 

The group shot a bird which landed on the other side of a fence, the

Iowa Department of Natural Resource said in a press release.

 

"Harris reportedly went to retrieve the bird, placed his gun on the

ground and crossed the fence near the muzzle end," the press release

said.

 

"When he crossed the fence, hunting dogs stepped on the gun, which

discharged and struck Harris in the left calf at a distance of roughly

three feet."

 

Harris was treated at a regional medical center and later transported

by helicopter to an Iowa City hospital.
