A local man lost part of his leg during a hunting excursion with
friends on Saturday in El Dorado County.
The men were
hunting for black bear when they came across one and chased it up a
tree.
One hunter fired a shot at the bear, and it came down,
charging at one of the men.
That man grabbed his .44-caliber
handgun to shoot it, but instead shot himself in the leg.
Doctors had to amputate his leg from the knee down.
