Coonhunter, there is part of your story that doesn't add up. In your post you say "I was hit with the third shot. The slug that hit me was a ricochet off a tree. and it hit me just to the right of my nipple and exited out my back. I was air lifted to Mercy hospital in Des Moines where they found the slug inside my coveralls.
Then in your last post you say "ambulance, once they got there they couldn't find an exit wound".
I would have thought the first thing the EMT's would have done is cut the coveralls off to find the route of the slug internally and they would have been able to find the exit wound easily.
