A deer hunter survived an arrow wound through his skull and brain while hunting with his brother near Underhill, Vermont, in October 2001. The arrow struck the back of his head, but he remained conscious and walked out of the woods.

Surgeons took about three hours to remove the arrow. Fish and Wildlife officials treated the shooting as accidental. He was home by October 12 with headaches, fatigue and possible vision damage.

Errant arrow pierces man's head
Associated Press -- Oct. 14, 2001
BURLINGTON, Vermont -- An Underhill man shot in the back of the head
with an arrow while bow hunting is recovering slowly, according to his
family members.
Ron Derouchie, 24, was recovering at home Friday, Oct. 12, after his
brother, Brian, 22, fired an arrow into the back of his head.
The arrow penetrated Ron Derouchie's skull and pierced his brain,
stepmother Wendy Derouchie said.
The family is worried about whether the arrow caused lasting vision
damage.
Ron Derouchie is having trouble sleeping and not feeling well, but his
outlook is good, she said.
"He has a lot of headaches," Wendy Derouchie said. "He gets really
tired."
The brothers were hunting deer at about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in Underhill
when the incident occurred, said Lt. Robert Rooks, acting chief of law
enforcement for the Fish and Wildlife Department.
Police are treating the incident as accidental.
When Ron Derouchie shot, he bumped his brother, who had drawn his
arrow back and was preparing to release it, Rooks said. The bump
caused Brian Derouchie to swivel as he was shooting, and the arrow hit
Ron Derouchie in the back of his head, Rooks said.
The fact that the brothers were standing close together prevented the
accident from being worse, Rooks said.
"The arrow wasn't able to gain the momentum that it would, had it
actually been released," he said.
Ron Derouchie remained conscious and walked from the woods with his
brother, who was shaken by the incident, Wendy Derouchie said.
"As they came out of the woods, Ron was calming Brian down," she said.
Surgeons spent three hours removing the arrow.

That's some hillbilly place where they use a lot less than normal brain obviously. He's fine and probably all the better for it.

BTW: You know what they do with a broken down car in West Virginia?
























Build a house next to it.
