"They said the pellets migrated to his heart. Beyond that, I can't discuss it with you because I have no idea how that stuff works."

And how did it manage to migrate to his heart unless it already was pretty close to there to begin with? Here is what the Wikipedia has to say about the size of the pellets.

en.wikipedia.org

Recommended for quail is size 7 1/2 to 8 or 0.1" or 0.09" in diameter.

A typical load for a 28 gauge shell is 3/4 to 1 oz.

So there were somewhere between 200 to 400 pellets in that blast, of which Whittington got 150. Depending on the choke, the pattern at a particular distance is going to vary. I would doubt that much of a choke would be used for quail. So he was close and was seriously hurt.

Cheney had to have fired directly at him.
