I've seen them b4.

They actually had to cut away a section of his skull to get the arrow tip out.

one of the pictures is a closeup of the round skull peice with the arrow tip stuck thru it, one mean looking arrow tip.

A guy in my Boy Scout troop (with no gay scout master) was shot years ago by a hunter with a diddlying shot gun... on a scout reservation no less... he thought Ed was a turkey...

He didnt die, but his face was mighty messed up from the scarring.

Post by: Sandman on December 11, 2002, 12:40:26 AM: I don't know about other states, but in California bowhunters are not required to wear orange.

It makes sense actually... the range is so short that if you can't tell the difference between a person and a deer, you obviously do not have a shot.

Post by: capt. apathy on December 11, 2002, 08:27:14 AM: I have my doubts about the orange wear. I'm begining to suspect that alot of hunting 'accidents' are either thrill-kills or "dave seems oftly freindly with my wife. maybe I should take him hunting"

I haven't gone in a few years because of the increasing number of morons in the woods. we don't require the orange here AFAIK (I've never wore it) but I am thinking kevlar for my next hunting trip.

Post by: Curval on December 11, 2002, 08:34:09 AM: Wearing orange sort of defeats the purpose of all that cammo gear you hunting types wear IMHO. I understand why you guys do it...to avoid accidents, but why bother with cammo underneath? But, I suppose you gotta wear something, and the cammo gear looks all cool when at the lodge quaffing budweisers.

Post by: capt. apathy on December 11, 2002, 08:44:40 AM: deer are color-blind (I've been told) and can't tell the orange from any other light color. suposedly a camo patern of light and dark on orange background works just as good as the real camo colors. I still have my doubts about the acuracy of this though.

Thats basicly it as far as im concerned. Deer see movement more than anything else. For bowhunting its more important not to move any more than necessary and wear something quite, thats not going to make a lot of noise when you do move. I have friends and relatives that spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on this new pattern, that new scent, this new call and sit in the woods smoking cigeretts and farting due to the beer and chilli from the night before, and wonder why they dont shoot anyting. My green workpants, sweaters and I manage to fill my tag every year though :)

If I was this guy though, I dont think I would be hunting with those tards again.

Yeah...that was me. Although the story you read was somewhat baudlerized, it actually happened. It's an easy mistake to make when they are as limber as a dishrag when you pick them up.

Dang! But that hurt!
