Broadhead to the Brain!!

[Hoggin Hank]

I found this pic while surfing the WEB. The article said that this guy was accidentally shot by his brother. Thats got to hurt..

Try this URL to the album the pic is in...It probably wont work because I'm not having very good luck with dotphoto.com..

Here si the story:
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.

For some reason I keep coming back to this post to check out the pic.  That is just pure nasty!!  I was mean to my brother as a youngster but...WOW!

My brother held me down and blew snot on my head.  I never thought I would look back on that and breathe a sigh of relief.

Wheres the picture?

 

[Hoggin Hank]

I found out that if you post pictures at dotphoto.com you are not able to put a URL address to that picsture. It's some rule they have...BUT you can put a URL address to the "Folder" that the pics are in ??? Makes no sense to me...Oh well. I guess I'll have to put the URL for the Folder instead.

 

[Hoggin Hank]

Lets see if this works. I'm going to post a URL for the folder and I guess you will have to click on the pic you want to see. Unfortunatly the 2 pics I had here were erased,,(the ugly boar and the broadhead to the brain) .

Hey Hank,

Just wanted you to know that I (and no other moderator that I know of) erased your pics.  Not sure if this is what you thought or no, but I wanted to let you know.  

The "Edited by Speckmisser" showed up when I was trying to move this post to the Campfire area, where it would be more appropriate.  My moderator functions aren't working properly, though, so I couldn't move it.  Just left fingerprints all over it.

Apologies for any misunderstanding there may be, and hope you know there's no attempt at censorship here.

Thanks for the response speckmisser.  I found out that dotphoto.com is not very user friendly and I wont be using them any longer. You can't get the URL directly from the pic or even directly from the folder that it is in. you have to go through this long process with a password and a bunch of other CRAP  just to get your pics so someone else can see them..What a headache...Sorry ya'll didn't get to see the pics..I'll have to put them on hunting-pics .com to get them posted...Thanks for your concern speckmisser..
