Hunting injuries and bought a new bed

My husband came over last night and told me his son got shot when they were hunting. He acted like it was nothing and I was so freaked out. The game lands they went hunting in they released a bunch of pheasants at the gates instead of dispersing up throughout it. So everyone who went hunting that morning all wound up being in the same area. Some guys were shooting and didn’t see his son and sprayed him with bullets. That’s probably not the right term but inside a shotgun shell they have little bb kind of things they spread out when shot. He was hit by a bunch of those bbs. His arm and neck etc. Thank god not his eyes! Today we tried clearing some of the junk out of my cellar like a broken dehumidifier and old glass shower doors but my husbands hip was hurting to badly to much. We wanted to clear out my computer room and put the bottom of my stepsons bunk bed in there for the nights he’s here until he moves in fully. Since my husbands hip was hurting to badly we couldn’t do that so we went to Raymour and Flannigan and bought a new bed. We think that’s why my shoulders and my husbands hip hurt so bad is because of how old my mattress is. It will be delivered Tuesday. Photo is a cute decoration I saw at Lowe’s today.

Sorry to hear about your husband, I hope he feels better soon. Sorry about your son getting shot, too. And, yes, sprayed is a fairly accurate term for what happened. Hope he recovers well from the incident.

@shaggin Have you talked to him about it? I'll never understand why people still think hunting is a good thing. I can understand in remote off-the-grid places, but not in a society like ours. It's just not necessary.

@kaylachan I think it’s healthier eating those animals then ones in stores full of antibiotics and growth hormones etc but being a vegetarian I’m not a fan of meat eating.

@sallypup it was scary to me that he got injured but yes thank god it wasn’t worse. I wanted to wait to use this to post more towards Christmas but I didn’t have a photo on my phone to use for this discussion so I used it.

@sallypup oh my gosh that is so scary. Did the bullet lodge in the floor boards? Yikes imagine if it went through and hit your brother.

@shaggin I don't know where that bullet went. This was the brother who ended up dying early- in his early 40s, too.

@rakski they are both okay thanks but my husband has a lot of pain in his hip. Hopefully Thursday when we get the bed that will change.

Can a kid ride that thing? Yeah, I call them pellets. Did he remove them himself or let a Dr. do it?

@TheHorse hmm the kid would have to be like 2 in order to sit on it. I think my 4 year old niece would have been to big. Thankfully the guy who shot him was far enough away he got sprayed by them but none stuck in the skin. Just left a little mark. Thank god though they missed his eye or it could have been worse.

@TheHorse I’m a vegetarian so I don’t hunt but my husband and his son are very avid hunters. I spend a lot of time alone in the woods and have never worried about the possibility of getting shot until now.

The guys who shot your stepson should have to pay the medical bills. At least he is OK. . I hope you can all share your home in peace.

@Tina30219 we got a call the bed won’t arrive until the following Tuesday or we can pick it up at the store Thursday which is an hour drive. My husband really wants the new bed so I think he’s going to drive to pick it up. I saw the little spots where he got shot it wasn’t bad thankfully but I could have been a lot worse which is scary.

@shaggin I bet you both will be looking forward to sleeping on the new bed when you get it. Glad it was not that bad with your stepson and like you said it could have been worse.

@DianneN perfectly fine now. He just had little tiny marks on his hands and arms where the little balls inside the shotgun shells sprayed him. I’m glad the guys weren’t any closer and that he wasn’t hit in the eye.

@CarolDM I always felt safer in the woods knowing people were around if I ran into trouble but now after my stepson being shot I realized how much worse it could be to hike when hunters are shooting.

I hope the new mattress helps. I'm sure it will. Your step-son was very lucky not to be more badly hurt. I suppose he still loves hunting.

@JudyEv they called and can’t deliver until next Tuesday but we can drive the hour back there and pick it up on Thursday. We are really looking forward to sleeping on it and hoping our pains go away. Yep they absolutely love hunting.
