A 70-year-old man was flown to a Colorado hospital for treatment on Thursday after being accidentally shot by his hunting partner. The men, part of a group of three who were visiting the state from Iowa, were hunting coyotes in Baca County down in the southeastern corner of Colorado when the unfortunate incident occurred.
According to a press release issued by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, one man fired his shotgun at a coyote about 50 feet away and missed. He then swung his gun to take another shot, inadvertently hitting his friend.
