I read this story in the Des Moines Register this morning but lifted this from channel 8's website because I could not for the life of me find it on the Register's online site.
TAMA, Iowa -- A Tama man was injured when hunting dogs stepped on his gun.
Officials with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources said James Harris, 37, was pheasant hunting with a group about three miles north of Grinnell when the accident happened.
Officials said 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. His condition has not been released.
The investigation is continuing.
Perhaps the pooches were perturbed at parading around in orange vests.

Not the dog's fault. Seriously, what sort of freak mechanics did it take to make that shot work?
