......somebody gets shot in the face! My dad and I got shot by another hunter from about 60-70 yards with #8 birdshot. Ive been peppered before but this was a whole different deal. We are both very lucky to have our eyes. I caught 7 bb's total. One in the cheek, one pierced my ear, one in my hand, three in my ribs and one in the shin.

My dad came really close to losing his eye. The bb has got to be in his eye socket somewhere. He caught 8 bb's total.

Glad you did not get seriously hurt. I know the feeling as I was shot when hunting doves one time. Only one other hunter at the tank. I still carry a lead pellet in the end of my nose.

The bad part is I had safety glasses on 5 minutes before. I had taken them off because they were tinted and the sun was going down. I'll never dove hunt again without safety glasses!!!

It was an older man who shot us. I think his eyesight wasnt that good. He was very apologetic and he even had a first aid kit with him.

That there's not funny. If his eyesight is that bad then maybe he should stay in camp.

I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.
