FERRYVILLE, Wis., June 19 (UPI) -- A Ferryville, Wis., woman shot herself in the foot with a .22-caliber rifle while hunting for a woodchuck in her vegetable garden, authorities said.
Crawford County Sheriff Jerry Moran said 45-year-old Penny Gilman shot herself in the left foot with a bolt-action rifle while waiting for the woodchuck to show its face, the (Madison) Wisconsin State Journal reported Thursday.
