The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says a man is recovering after he was shot in the leg while coyote hunting Saturday afternoon.
The DNR says it happened shortly before 12:30 p.m. in a field in Benton County, just north of Highway 30 and southwest of Keystone.
KCRG-TV 9 reports a 41-year-old man from Blairstown was a passenger in a pickup truck, hunting a coyote across the field, when one of the guns in the truck went off and struck the man in the left leg.
He was transported to a hospital in Cedar Rapids. Officials say he suffered non-life threatening injuries.
