Yes, my wife beat me up! Not really!! The burst ear drum came while flying out to South Dakota to visit my wife’s family and go hunting. The black eye came when I shot at a deer with a gun I had never fired before – unfortunately the eye relief on the scope was not right for me and the kick was a little more than I anticipated and the black and blue and bloody eye was the result. At first all I saw was black and I wondered if I would ever see again out of my right eye…the picture below is from a day or so later it wasn’t as bad looking as I figured it would be! The good news is that I did shoot two mule deer previous to this incident. I have no idea where this shot landed – other than the scope landed in my eye ball!
The kick of a gun is what scares me about guns. That is why I've always said if I could go hunting I would love to go during bow season. At least you didn't shoot your eye out. LOL!
ReplyDeleteOuch. Sorry to hear about the eye. I got a cut between my eyes one time from a "scope kiss." How about some pictures of the deer shot?
ReplyDeleteI meant to say "of the deer you shot."
