    Doesn't add up. I feel like if someone shot from the road the three of y'all would have potentially heard a vehicle. They were ground level I'm assuming.

    So glad to read he's ok, and it wasn't worse

    I wouldn't be convinced the bullet is in the dirt. You are assuming he was shooting from a tree. Poachers get dropped off and hunt from the ground. But 3 hunters in the area and your son had just shot. Not knowing anything about the setup, I wonder if someone was shooting one from the road.

    I'd check the trees around where you son was.

    Glad he is ok. Hope you get some answers soon.

    I'm glad he's okay. Stuff like this makes my blood boil.

    IF, per chance, you find a bullet, don't touch it with your bare hands. Call DNR, let them get it, and make sure they wear gloves. They may be able to get DNA analysis to confirm it as the bullet by ID'ing your son's blood on it. Then the ballistics unit at SLED can determine what it came from, gun-wise. SLED may take interest. It's across the county line from us, but I'm not saying we wouldn't work it if DNR requested us to.

    something doesnt add up. I'm sure, as a parent, you know that.

    Yeah I also typed and deleted my original comment several times. Didn't figure it would do much good to question what else could have happened there or to say what you think happened didn't. Maybe it did.

    Something doesn't add up. Multiple people that close together also would scare me. I'm not insinuating in any way shape or form you would put your son in a dangerous situation, it just seems that it could lead to something bad happening.

    Again, I am so glad to hear your son is okay. Scares me to think about.

    The fact that after getting shot, he is ready to go back says a lot to me.

    If I had gotten shot standing at the base of my tree, I would not be in much of a hurry to get back into that stand or go near it.

    and at 60yds I'm gonna put my phone down and yell to my dad that I am ok.

    he was busy texting his buddy to get the story straight.

    Or maybe not. only he knows. no one on here can do anything but think up wild things that might've happened.

    So you telling me that the three people who were actually there know more about this than people on the internet? You do realize we have a dentist in our midst, correct?

    I don't understand what happened. It seems strange to me and the story doesn't add up for me, but I don't have all the details and wasn't there. I'm sure as a dad you have run through every possible scenario and have steadily been looking for answers since it happened. Hope you find em and glad everyone is safe.
