Dogs shoot man on hunting trip
Dogs shoot man on hunting trip
Mon Oct 29, 2:52 PM ET - AFP
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.

Perhaps that hunter will learn his place. Hunting dogs want to retrieve the bird, the dogs were just protecting their turf!
