I sure hope he recovers well. I haven't carried a gun for a while just a big knife but I think after all these stories I've been hearing I'll start back to carring my 45 lc. I quit carring it because the holster leather got wet and shrunk and it want fit my waist anymore lol.
They were cutting corn silage around Gustine the other day and a guy was riding on the silage chopper shooting hogs. He jumped off on to a big boar that was not near dead and it cut him up so bad that it required 100 stitches. You cannot be too careful around them big boars.
There wasn't anything you would be able to do even if you had a gun with you, even a knife would be useless.
At least when ever it heals up he will have a hell of a story to tell!!
