It happened Saturday (Jan. 11), just before 12:30pm, in Benton County, just north of Highway 30 at 13th Avenue, in a field southwest of Keystone.

41 year old Brian McManemy of Blairstown was out hunting coyotes; he was a passenger in a pickup when one of their firearms discharged, and struck him in the left leg.
