DM – It sounds like an unorthodox way to fish but a Thurston County, Washington man says he managed to shoot himself in the head by accident with a .22-caliber rifle while trying to catch salmon.
According to a sheriff’s report, the man told deputies he fired a shot into the Deschutes River on Sunday afternoon but the bullet ricocheted off a rock and hit him in the forehead.
Startled by the rebound, when he scratched the spot with his finger, the Olympia man says the bullet dropped out the hole in his head and into the river.
Unorthodox is an understatement… who the fuck fishes with a rifle. Use a rod, use a net,use a stick, hell use your bare hands. Guys fishing for salmon not fucking silver back gorillas on the coast of Malawi. That bullet smacking you in the head was god saying bro use your head you don’t fish for salmon with a .22-caliber rifle.
20 bucks says guy got in a fight with his wife and went into the woods to end it… couldn’t do it so he fired off a few rounds into a tree in a fit of rage and one ricocheted back at him.. who the fuck hits a tree when you’re aiming for water.. if you do you probably shouldn’t be fishing with a gun.
