I GOT SHOT

[MAG 1]

Just wanted to express safety. I've hunted with this guy for years and accidents happen. The weekend was over and we were headed home, just one last shoot in the morning and we were gone. all day in the hospital, and I will live with 24 pellets that will stay in me. Might have to have surgery on the hand, I have one in there that they are worried about. Other then that everything is on the back side.Waiting for the xrays, once I get them I will post them. I guess some of them went pretty deep. Hurts like a BITCHView attachment 36022View attachment 36023View attachment 36024View attachment 36022View attachment 36023View attachment 36024

Very sorry for your pain and discomfort. Lucky it was 7 1/2 shot and not 6 or 4s.
Maybe the pellets will work their way up and out over the years. I say this because one of my Bosses was a Vietnam vet and he was still pulling shrapnel out of his legs into the late 90s.

So glad it wasn’t your face or torso. But that is awful no matter what. I got hit last year but minor compared to yours.

 

[Lungpopper]

WOW
. Looks like the shot is spread out. Lucky he wasn’t closer to you. Hope you heal up without any problems.

Oh my goodness! Permanently?? Those must be in deep! The crazy part is it came from a regular hunting partner!!

So the friend who shot me has 2 boys that are normally with us. We bothe emphasize safety first. I really don't know what happened. I'm talking to him 1 minute about a bird I think he shot, the other bird I see go down the tracks on the direction i'm walking and all of the sudden wahm I get shot. We were about 50 ft apart I think. I see a bird fly away and feel the pain right away.

Glad you are ok, accidents happen and this is a great reminder of why we should be extra aware.

Also glad it wasn’t a few inches higher looks like a few got up close to the jewels that would have been terrible!
