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."
Extreme moments of horror should be met with extreme actions of preventive retribution
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my youth the most!

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

Lil' Stinker's Opinion
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.

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!!
