A Bartholomew County dove hunter accidentally shot himself in the foot Thursday, according to Indiana conservation officers.

63-year-old Rudolph Zeigler was dove hunting yesterday morning with friends, but as he drew up his gun to fire, he accidentally pulled the trigger, shooting himself in the right foot. Conservation officer and spokeswoman Corporal Angela Goldman says Zeigler was taken to Columbus Regional Hospital by personal vehicle.

No charges are expected against Zeigler, Goldman said..
