I caught a No 8 pellet just in front of the left ear when I was 15. Doc who’d served as a surgeon in ‘Nam cut it out two days later. It knocked my head over and a stream of blood 🩸 came out when it hit. And y’all know about me breaking my back almost three years ago when a treestand broke. I’m thankful neither incident was worse ‘cause they could’ve been.
