Hunting accident

A guy went out hunting. He had all the gear, the jacket, the
boots and the double-barreled shotgun. As he was climbing
over a fence, he dropped the gun and it went off, right on
his male part. Obviously, he had to see a doctor.

When he woke up from surgery, he found that the doctor had
done a marvelous job repairing it. As he got ready to go
home, the doctor gave him a business card. "This is my
brother's card. I'll make an appointment for you to see him."


The guy says, "Is your brother a doctor?"

"No," Doc replies, "he plays the flute. He'll show you where
to put your fingers so you don't pee in your eye."

    I just got off the phone with my old college buddy, Jerry. He was out hunting crows with his brother in law and he got shot in the back. They had wounded a crow which was down in the bushes. They were looking for the bird and the brother in law saw something black move in the bushes. He fired. This was a 12 gauge with number 6 shot, range 30 yards. Jerry had his back to him, quartered away. The x rays show 52 pellets. One shot stuck in his jaw. One shot went in the right upper lip and exited the left upper lip. No other shot exited. He got about 30 in the back, 4 or 5 in the neck, 4 in the throat. The docs didn't remove any shot. He was kept overnight for observation and released. The two went out the next day with SC DNR and SO and did an investigation. Brother in law has decided to sell all firearms.He will be charged with a misdemeanor.

    Lyle was hunting geese in the Northern Minnesota woods. He leaned his old 16 gauge against the corner of the blind to take a leak.
    As luck would have it, his Labrador dog Ginger knocked the gun over, it went off, and Lyle took most of an ounce of #4 shot into the groin

    Several hours later, lying in a Duluth hospital bed, he came to and there was his ER doctor, Sven.
    "Vell Lyle, I got some good noos and some bad noos. Da good noos is dat you're going to be OK. Da damage vas local to your groin, dere was very little internal bleeding, and I vas able to remove all da buckshot.

    "What's the bad news?" asks Lyle.

    "The bad noos is dat dere vas some pretty extensive buckshot damage done to your privates. I'm going to have to refer you to my sister, Lena.
    "Well, I guess that isn't too bad," says Lyle. "Is your sister a plastic surgeon?"

    "Not exactly," Sven says. "She's a flute player in da Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. And because all you have is Obamacare, she's going to teach you where to put your fingers so you don't pee in your eye."

    .......NORTON, Mass. (AP) - An off-duty state trooper who was hunting in southeast Massachusetts shot and wounded a 66-year-old woman who was out walking her two dogs when he mistook her pets for a deer.

    The woman was shot in the torso while walking on a wooded path in Norton about 5 p.m. Saturday. Police said the trooper called 911 after realizing he had mistaken the tails of the two retrievers for a deer's tail.

    The unidentified woman who lives in Norton was taken to Rhode Island Hospital for treatment. Authorities provided no further information on her condition.

    State police on Sunday said investigators determined the shooting was an accident. The name of the trooper, who also lives in Norton, was not released because he faces no charges. The investigation

    Should be a great subject for conversation at the next family reunion.

    When daddy first took me hunting, and every time after... his words were..."NEVER FIRE UNLESS YOU ARE SURE OF YOUR TARGET".... those words come back to me every time I pick up a gun....

    I wish him a speedy recovery...

    There are some people who are not responsible enough to handle a firearm without supervision, and age has little to do with it.

    I deer hunted with a 40 year old guy one time who was a full Colonel in the Air Force. He would shoot at "movement" in the woods. The rest of us had to give him his lease money back and tell him to leave--booted him off the property. It was not the most popular thing to do since he was also a high-level manager in our company.

    Stories like these illustrate why it is always good to keep a close eye on new hunting partners until you determine what kind of sportsmen they are.

    Respectfully,

    A while back a friend of mine got shot in the * with a 16 gauge by his father who was as dumb as a box of rocks. The father then blamed the shotgun and wrapped it around a tree. The pellets weren't removed from him either.

    It's customary medical procedure not to remove shot unless they present a medical problem. In time, some of the shot will work themselves to the surface naturally. Others will look like little tatoo dots--a conversation piece. I have a buddy who has shot in one side of his face and one ear. Looks kinda weird...

    I had a buddy in the Corps who was in the spit-and-polish Marines down on 8th and I... One day, he was pulling perimeter guard detail at Camp David, where some VIPs were shooting quail, and he got hit with some small bird shot at long range. Little damage to him, all pellets were removable with tweezers. A few Band-Aids, and he was good to go. Considerable damage to his uniform, though. The shooter? Then-Vice-President George Bush Sr....

    ACCIDENT?????!!!!!!

    that was no accident!!!!! that was a plain a$$ed f*CK-up. a stupid person handling a firearm!!!!!!!

    I have taught firearms safety for over 15 years and I truly believe that stuff like this is NO ACCIDENT.

    If you cannot identify your target you don't shoot !

    always point your firearm in a SAFE direction!!
    nuff said.

    I think that guys like that should be prosecuted for attempted murder, assult, murder, etc.....

    whenever someone shoots another while hunting a crime has been committed!!!

    it should take ONLY one shot!!
