Bedroom antics got a little out of control and you hit your head on the headboard?
Ground hog likes "utes"
roos, not so much
....Did you have the scope resting on your skin?
Then again, all firing I've done was with irons.
A simple "you should see the other guy" should suffice.
Since no one else answered the question you asked, I will. It's easy
You were playing basketball and took an elbow to the head. I have seen lots of head wounds from "Prison Ball".
YMMV

the chuck norris of groundhogs?
Only time I ever scoped myself was with my 300 Win Mag...didnt break the skin and I didnt bruise.
A scoped pellet gun at 20'? And it kicked so hard it sliced you with the rim?
I'd go with the truth as a cover story. It's almost impossible to believe and will have them rolling around on the floor.
I'm glad you guys are having fun at my expense, I'd expect nothing less.
Yeah, using a scope on a pellet gun, AND at 20' seems silly. But the scope comes in handy at the distance I'm usually shooting at. And yeah, the scope was waaaay too close to me. It's hard to 'splain but I was in an unusual position, kinda coming up over the top of a short tree, leaning. My position was nowhere near correct and I wasn't thinking. I just wanted a head shot. Well, I got one!
And Mazdeuce or NGTD seem to have the most viable excuses. Though I'm going to try to say I was training Seal Team 6 in my spare time and things happen....
MMA practice?
As you're looking down quietly say, "I walked into a door"
You didn't tell us if you at least got the kill???
Say you were working under the house and hit your head on a pipe.
Or, if the owner's a bit of a redneck just tell him the truth, he'll understand 
say it was a .50 BMG, they'll laugh but respect you... n prolly be jealous too

He's posted a few times that he got a head shot. 
Tell the truth about the scope, but do not mention the type of rifle. You did not mention if the woodchuck will chuck more wood?
I kept waiting for the giant groundhog to be a bear cub. Re-write the ending. This is the internet. We demand more.
Just tell the truth. Maybe upsize the gun.

One day when I was a teen I was walking through the woods with my dog. I had a pellet gun of similar power to the op. As we walked we came upon a 55 gal drum laying on it's side. My dog started sniffing at it and went to go inside. At that point a feral cat jumped on her and began to beat her severly about the face and mouth. She was getting cut up pretty good saw I drew aim and fired hitting the cat squarely between the eyes. The cat just stopped ( giving my dog time to retreat) looked up at me kind of hissed and walked calmly back into the drum. I don't know if it survived but a head shot did not = instant kill.
I'm still unsure as to how one would get all cut up by the scope of a pellet gun.
Did the ground hog jump up and karate kid kick the end of the gun as you fired?
My wife said shut up and I thought she said stand up.
Solution: Get a red dot sight, and you don't have to worry about a proper sight picture so much.
I can't figure out how a pellet gun recoiled enough to hit you in the face...
Obviously, I had my fat head too close to the sight. The place I was standing didn't allow for the proper posture (disclaimer: I'm a city boy, this rifle stuff is new to me) so I wasn't able to really get my shoulder behind it enough. Couple that with the fact that my face was too close and....bamo!
Also, that side fo the scop is very angled, not bull-nosed or something. The scope hit just inside fo my eyebrow, fatty part of the forehead. The cut isn't long, maybe an inch or so. It's just deep.
Remember too, 1500 fps is a strong pellet gun. This ain't no $50 Daisy gun. When I target practice, it'll put a pellet through 3/4" plywood from about 60-70 feet away. If I place a 1/4" a few inches behind that, it'll stop in the 1/4".
So, in answer to you 93EX, it's cuz I'm just that stoopid 
Where are the pics?
In all seriousness, my co-worker somehow opened the door to the bathroom and smacked himself hard enough in the head with said door to require an ER visit. It could always be worse!
I deleted the pic on accident. I thought I was x-ferring it from my memory card to my computer, and it's GONE now.
