Apparently, I am a friend of a friend of the guy who accidentally shot himself in the foot while hunting in Owen County. Here's the pic. Ouchie!

Why am I suddenly hungry for more cranberry relish??

 

[IndianaGTI]

Makes me crave jerky.

Glad the injury was not more severe. How did it happen?

Was that this guy?

Man accidentally shoots himself in foot

 

[Yup!]

It looks like it came from the bottom up, and after reading the story, sounds possible. Ouch.

My sister-in-law just looked over my shoulder and almost puked.

I second that , I was actually in the middle of eating when I clicked the link, and all I did was enlarged the screen.....While that must be agonizing it all goes back to the discussion over the past few days of, why not just raise and lower the shotgun unloaded?

Didn't do much for me after my wife's WONDERFUL turkey, pork roast, ham, and etc. Dinner.

Obviously violated the first rule of safe firearms handling,

"Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction".

I think this is the one that was in our paper. Pulling up a loaded gun into a tree stand. Hey bub, how did that work out ?

That story is about someone shooting their left foot while hunting in Washington County.

That guys problems ain't over yet. Looks like there's a possibility he could lose that second toe (looks like he scrambled the 2nd metatarsal). And there's a good chance major infection could set it. Hope he's not diabetic. In any event, he's going to need some Oxycontin to get through the next week or so.

if your going out to climb in a tree stand and shoot bambi, be smart and un-load your gun b4 you do so! the foot (or life) you save my be yours

 

[timeforchili]

oof...hes gonna lose that toe

 

[TLHelmer]

Wow! That is a terrible way to learn a lesson. I had a friend shoot himself through the hand field stripping a gun he thought was empty. He lost some feeling and movement in his hand with less damage than your poor friend.

 

[perry]

Ouch.

 

[rugertoter]

That will leave a mark.
