A man was accidentally shot in the leg north of Lewistown while hunting.

A Bureau of Land Management (BLM) ranger and a Fergus County deputy quickly responded to the scene. They applied tourniquets to stop the bleeding as they waited for medical resources to arrive.

The incident appears to be an accidental hunting mishap. The man sustained non-life-threatening wounds and is currently recovering.
