Default RE: have you ever been shot at?

November 4, 2000 while bow hunting in Northern Wisconsin I was shot in the right bicep by a 14 year old Native American with a .30-06. I was dragging a deer through a red pine plantation and the kid was 20 yards away and sound shot at me just before I stepped onto the trail. The bullet hit a branch just before it hit me and I got shrappnel in my stomach and my groin. Themain part of the bullet hit the middle of my right bicep and missed my artery by 2mm and also missed the bone. If it would have hit the artery, I wouldn't be here typing this to you. I ended up getting air lifted from Spooner, WI to Duluth MN where I spend 2.5 hrs in surgery to replace the artery in my arm.

Life is GREAT, I'm still alive!
