Not a bullet wound
I am a member of Clark Rifles, so i'm a bit sensitive about the defamation that this hoax is causing.
As always, the media has told only one side of the story (shocker).
I first want to point out that this lady's son was caught trespassing on the range several years ago. Sheriff showed up and he admitted that he was digging bullets out of the embankment (on range property). This is fact, and completely discredits their claims of this "bag of bullets" they have found on their property.
Second, while I'm not a doctor, I do have an EMT in the family who I asked to look at the photo from KATU. It is completely impossible that this wound was from a bullet.
If the bullet struck her from "Front to back", the skin in between her
"Entrance wound" and "Exit Wound" would be cavitated and SEVERELY bruised all around the area. That's assuming the bullet actually did enter, travel underneath the skin, then exit farther back. The second problem with the theory that a bullet traveled underneath the skin on her head is that there is the layer of skin over your scalp is extremely thin. (put your hand on your head now, and feel for yourself). If a bullet penetrated deep enough that it got beneath the skin, even a .22" bullet would have had to contact the skull to get completely beneath the skin. This lady was released from the hospital in a matter of hours. If her skull were hit by a bullet, the tests alone (MRI, x-ray, etc...) would have kept her there all day.
The only other way this could have been a bullet wound is if it hit her from top to bottom (which she states it did not). In that case, it would have taken two different bullets to create the two vertical scratches.
Here is a link to her wound photo, taken at the hospital:

Please look at that and tell me you honestly think it could be a bullet wound.
Next, here is a link to what a "bullet graze" actually looks like:

I'd like to close by pointing out two things from the initial report (before it got scrubbed by anti-gun media). The sheriff states "(There's) a slight possibility that it was a bullet or a firearm round that grazed the woman,”. The sheriff is extremely skeptical this was even caused by a bullet.
Next, this is from an artical in The Oregonian:
"Whether it was a bullet or something else that caused the head wound isn't clear. Detectives spoke to medical professionals who treated the woman but "have not definitively determined it was a projectile from a firearm.""
