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.

Dude, wtf? I thought all hunters had to take a Hunter's Safety Course. Don't they teach you to put the safety on? *sigh. I actually knew a kid in high school who blew his own head off while jumping a fence with a 12-Gauge Shotgun in his hand without the safety on. Everyone cried and wailed "what a tradgedy!" but I couldn't feel remorseful or condolent in any way. One less idiot who won't hurt anyone else. Meanwhile, those goddamn hounds have more sense in their head - they shot the guy karmatically, of course.

KARMA'S A BITCH!!!!
