Lord he is lucky! I am often amazed at what the human body can withstand. You would think the shock from that would be enough to kill someone let alone the size of that hole.

Muzzle control people. I know it was an accident but still. He is very lucky to be alive.

Funky description. It says he caught it under the collar bone, but the entry and exit are on the back. ?????
Quote:
A slightly different angle and you would have had a very nicely placed shot that severed the cervical vertebrae, which is a shot many hunters like to make. Shot placement is nothing without the correct trajectory and penetration. It was a good entry location for a debilitating and likely crippling shot and the round obviously had enough penetration, but the trajectory was all wrong. So I am just guessing here, but I assume the muzzle was close to the shoulder when the discharge occurred?
