TAMA, IOWA ¯ A man was injured when hunting dogs stepped on his gun. Officials with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources say 37-year-old James Harris of Tama, Iowa, was pheasant hunting with a group about 3 miles north of Grinnell when the accident happened. Officials say the group had shot a bird and when Harris went to retrieve it, he put his gun on the ground and crossed a fence. As he crossed the fence, hunting dogs stepped on his gun causing it to fire. Harris was shot in the lower left leg. He was treated at Grinnell Medical Center and later transferred by helicopter to University Hospitals in Iowa City.

Note: keep your gun safe and have a lab retriever get the bird (and remember to share)
 
Keep your dog off the trigger until you are ready to fire?

Truly a bizarre and most unfortunate accident.
