(Vanity) Ever been hit by shotgun ricochet?

[sheepishshooter]

So, I'm too embarrassed to post this under my usual name, so I'm using this name. I was out trying to shoot gopher today...I know, it's stupid, but I'm so fed up, and I saw one of those little b@stards starting to poke through. I grabbed the shortbarrel shotgun and went to get it, but while creeping up on it, I hit the tigger. The spray didn't hit me directly, but it shot at the big rock I was standing on, and ricocheted back and hit my ankle. Stung pretty badly. I walked back to the house and sure enough there are two round bleeding wounds on my ankle. I felt around but can't find any shot anywhere. I don't know if it was the pellets that hit me, or some bits of granite off the rock. My ankle feels okay...still stings, and and hour and a half later.

Just thought I would get some freeper advice. Should I be concerned about this or just clean it up and ignore it? Thanks!

Wasn’t me....

An X-ray may be prudent. You don't want to get lead poisoning.

Spray some Windex on it....

I know it wasn’t you, but this guy is stretching the credibility very thin.

You've got that right! We haven't had a mole problem, or a squirrel problem, or a feral cat problem since keeping Rat Terriers. They're like little Land Sharks. They've even jumped up and grabbed birds from the clothes line!

Go to the ER and sit there and wait on several dozen illegal aliens to be seen before you and get it cleaned up and get a tetanus shot. The illegals get it for free but you will pay about $1000 for the trip.

I've been sprayed by 6-8 shot numerous times while hunting over dove fields...no big deal.

“this guy is stretching the credibility very thin.”

Ya think???

[divine_moment_of_facts]

You should have a cocktail or two (if you’re not bleeding badly) and then fish around in there with tweezers. ;)

Might want to go to a med center and have them check it out. Sorry that you got injured.

Are you trying to say Rat Terriers are useful? Wow, I have a feral cat problem too.

Rub some dirt on it, *&^@$

and take some Robitussin. Cures everything.

But seriously dude, give the gun to your kids. Those things can be dangerous in the wrong hands.

Ours are certified feral cat KILLERS. They're amazing little dogs. Don't be fooled into thinking they're little lap dogs. We used to think this. They hunt together cooperatively. They hunted, dug up and killed probably a dozen moles one week. Also, I haven't seen a cat yet that could outrun them!

Amputate.

Walk it off, sissy.

I am going to have to check into this little breed. I am overrun with feral cats (idiot neighbors feeding them I think, not sure though).

Now you know how a gopher feels. Just stick it in the kitchen sink with some Tide.
