The Merced County Sheriff's Department said the 53-year-old hunter, whose name was not released, was hunting near Los Banos with his Labrador retriever and a partner Saturday when he set down his shotgun and walked about 15 feet away to retrieve some decoy ducks, The Fresno (Calif.) Bee reported Monday.
The dog stepped on the gun, shooting her owner in the upper left part of his back with No. 2 shot.
The sheriff's office said the man was treated and released from Los Banos Memorial Hospital.

These sort of hunters should stick to playing hunting games online and not be let anywhere near a gun...
