Utah Duck Hunter Shot in Butt

[FarmGirl10]

There's probably not a whole lot more humiliating than being shot in the buttocks by your canine buddy.

Box Elder County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Kevin Potter says that's what happened at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge while two duck hunters were getting set up for a morning on the water.

"One of the hunters was inside the boat with the dog, and the other hunter was in the water setting up decoys," Potter said. "The guy in the water had put his 12-gauge shotgun across the bow of their boat."

It turned out to be a doggone recipe for a painful end to the day's outing.

"The dog got excited, was jumping around inside the boat and then it jumped on the gun. It went off, shooting the [decoy setter] in the buttocks," Potter said.

The wounded hunter was transported to Brigham City Community Hospital about 9 a.m. Sunday, where doctors removed the bird shot and released the 46-year-old Brigham City man to nurse his wounds — and pride.

The dog, and any ducks within range at the time of the accident, were uninjured.

Not going to lie, i find it kind of funny, i know i shouldn't but i do. What are the chances of something like that happening?

Been several people killed that way. More proof to always have a gun pointed where it can't hit anything or anyone.

How about an empty chanmber until he is ready to shoot, or that new technology called the safety.
A loaded gun, no safety on, left with Rover.
Shotguns shoot buck shot, this guys turned into butt shot, ouch!
May be Rover was trying to tell him something.

Talk about the dog being a pain in the .........

Most of today's shotgun's are not drop safe, as the safeties act as a trigger block not a firing pin block.
Browning added the rebounding firing pin to minimize accidental discharges a century ago and they can still drop fire.

accident? I think not. We all need to be nicer to our dogs now cause I am convinced they get online while we aren't looking.
