    You know, that occurred to me last night and I didn't want to say it until we saw if he made it through the night.

    Good thing, I slept on it myself and now believe it more resembles a jacklighting wound.

    I hate poachers, especially those that illegally hunt field mice. :mad54: I'll fess up to shooting ONCE at night in my life many years ago. The wound looked like a perfect circle around my eye....I do NOT recommend shooting a 7mm Mag with your eye mashed against the scope.

    10 year old with a BB gun. He told me his brother dared him to pull the trigger, shot himself through his tennis shoe. He didn't think it would penetrate.

    Thing had been in his foot for about a week. I did a digital nerve block, cut the BB out from the bottom with a nick from a #11 blade. Ran about 250 ccs of saline through the hole in his toe (entry and exit wound now communicating) and put him on some augmentin, gave him a tetanus booster.

    No police. No report. It was a freaking BB, for God's sake. The Dad was suitably pissed, said he was going to lock up the kids' guns for a while.

    All I could think of are those oh-so-smarmy shotgun snots at the Isaak Walton trap/skeet range with the cutesy little leather fobs on their "golf shoes" for resting the shotgun muzzle. THAT would be a little messier, I'm sure.

    Is it out yet?

    I have known 2 people in my life that had been shot in the forehead with a bb gun, 1 was in there for years until he had it removed. The other went to the hospital, had full police report. It was in the police blotter, happened in Churchville...During a game of beer pong.

    do i know you?

    Reminds me of when I stepped on a toothpick and it went all the way through.

    Pulling that sumbitch out with pliers did not make for a pleasant evening.

    There it is, we'll see if the surgeon can get it out tomorrow or whether I'll have to come back.

    Get a boat magnet ( you know the kind to fish heavy objects out of the water that fell overboard)!

    That little bb will be out of there in no time

    And a bottle or 2 of your chosen liquor, it's probably not going to be pleasant. ;)

    They just need to make sure the animal can be observed. If the animal has had it's rabies shot, it is all the better. There are a lot of feral cats that people feed, and they are high risk for rabies since they eat anything and don't have shots.

    figured as much. ;)
