A kid in one of my classes is friends with this guy that got shot, he was telling some of the story.. pretty scary deal
 
He is a very lucky young man. Im on the fire and rescue. Pretty sure he is gonna be alright. He was talking to one of the emt at the scene. He is just really lucky that it didnt hit is jugular or spine. Please everyone be aware of your surroundings. If you dont know exactly where the hunter or hunters are DONT SHOOT. Be safe and good hunting.
