BIG BONE -- A Union man was injured in a hunting accident during

Union resident John Neff, 21, was shooting at turkey decoys in a
wooded area unaware his step-brother, Matthew Hamilton, 18, was behind
him, according to the Boone County Sheriff's Department.
Hamilton was hit with a 12-gauge shotgun in his leg, arm and hand,
the department said. He was sent via AirCare to University Hospital in
Cincinnati with non-life threatening injuries. The men were in the
