no.....

[Dave Reynolds]

1. No.

Not with that weapon or that load.

2. 90 feet. 30 yards.

4. I don't buy the 30 yds either.

I can see 7 1/2 shot pellets piercing the flesh of the face & neck, but I'm just not buying the story that it penetrated an undershirt, shirt, coat, and hunting vest to get to the chest! I've been hunting for 45+ years with my husband, and this just doesn't make sense.

I've never hunted quail, but I've done a lot of pheasant, and squirel. I wasn't even using shot that small and the pellats don't enter the body that far.

This whole thing smells to me.

8. The doctor said 30 yards AT THE MOST

Fifteen to thirty yards, to be exact.

3. Maybe even much closer.

Sounds like he caught about 2/3rd of the load of 7 1/2 shot.

5. KO just issued a correction. He meant to say 90 feet (30 yds), not 90 yds.

7. updated the video to put in his correction at the end

6. I'm sure Keith just misspoke

First he says 30 yards, then he said ninety--I'm sure he meant 90 feet. If he didn't, maybe he was very cleverly giving himself an out in case the Bush empire tries to come down on him.

On edit: Oh, he's already issued a correction? Well, there goes that theory.
