11/09/2026

Investigators in Minnesota are looking into a hunting related incident that sent one man to the hospital.

The Big Stone County Sheriff’s Office says it happened Sunday afternoon in a field north of Ortonville. Authorities say two people were in a UTV when a rifle went off.

One man suffered serious injuries to his left foot and was taken to an Ortonville Hospital. Because the injury was severe, he was later driven to Sioux Falls.

Authorities say another member of the hunting party was handling the rifle when it went off.
