Ok I finally got a few new photos. Not the best but it shows the scar better. The moral of this story is simple, Don't try to shot beavers. lol
Photo 1: Close up of skin graph
Photo 2: Long shot
Photo 3: The missing chunk
No really! I was very lucky that I even have the use of my arm. Hold fast to those you love, you never know when your time will come.

Yes. For me... it went straight through the outside of the leg flesh. My leg works fine and the scarring is not so bad. Kinda cool actually. The bullet went on through the roof and lodged in the rafters. My brother dug it out with a pocket knife and gave it to me at the hospital a couple days later.
You know, it just occured to me that my grandparents paid for my hospital stay and I never thought about it until now. I wish I had thought to tell them thankyou while they were alive. As a teenager I never even thought about the cost of a week in the hospital. It never even occured to me that there was a bill to pay. I feel bad about that now.

Jeez, an inch further over and you could have been be showing us stump photos.

Mind you, an inch the other way and this would all have been a non event.
