In 1997 I was high mountain elk hunting in Idaho. Standing above a drop off, my feet went out from under me and I found myself sliding down the hill towards a cliff. To stop I jammed my left foot against a rock. It held, but my momentum twisted my knee severely, completely tearing my ACL and damaging the miniscus. I crawled back up the hill, then used my rifle as a crutch to walk about 3 miles back to my truck. Later had complete ACL replacement surgery.
Last year my brother-in-law took a load of buckshot in the facewhen dove hunting in AZand lost an eye.
That is horrible! I'm sorry to hear that. He's lucky to still be with us. You can never be too safe.
BTW, who uses buckshot to dove hunt?[&:]
