DES MOINES, Iowa – A hunter is recovering after he was shot in the leg at close range by his dog, who stepped on his shotgun and tripped the trigger.
James Harris, 37, of Tama, Iowa, was hit in the calf Saturday, the opening day of pheasant season, said Alan Foster, a spokesman with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
"He had surgery and is doing pretty well," he said today. "He took between 100-120 pellets in about a four-inch (10-centimetre) circle to his calf."
Harris was listed in good condition today, officials at University Hospitals in Iowa City said.
Harris was hunting with a group. The group shot a bird, and when Harris went to get it, he put his gun on the ground and crossed a fence. As he crossed the fence, his hunting dog stepped on the gun, Foster said.
The gun was about a metre away from his leg.
"The muzzle velocity is so great that the pellets don't have a chance to spread out," he said.
No one else was hurt, and the dog was not injured.

God Bless America is what I say.
I got 50 acres, 9000 chickens and a Fox problem and I had trouble getting a rifle. Only give me a .22LR & .17HMR could have done with a .223 for fox. And now I see that in the US even the Dogs got guns
I gotta move on over - I just can't go on livin this way.

Don't underestimate the .17 HMR, it's a hard hitter.
