[QUOTE="Tn_Va_Hunter, post: 5278633, member: 5740"] When I was 14 dad would take me and drop me off hunting. Come get me at dark. Where we hunted had no cell service or anything. I had a trac phone that barely worked in town let alone the mountains. At dark I started to climb down out of a old lock on. The cable (chain) broke and down I went. When I came to. I stood up only to feel a funny sensation in my left leg. Reached down with my right hand and the 2 middle fingers went into my leg. When I landed a stick had jabbed into my leg and tore as it went. Just missed a artery the doc said. It took 45 stitches to close it up. I was walking out using my bow as a crutch until I finally met dad who was coming looking for me. Learned many lessons on that. Another time I was skinning a deer at night using a headlamp. Trying to hurry and get it done. I was trying to ring (cut) all the way around one of the deers legs. Somehow I forgot to move my hand. Went through the top of 2 fingers and my thumb. Another 15 stitches for those. That one hurt for months because they was right behind the finger nails on the knuckle joints. Every time I’d try to hold something the new skin would pull apart. Finally took more stitches, glue and my hand in a brace to heal. [/QUOTE]
