Mostly just flesh wounds, I have trailed and hunted through some stuff so thick with briars and devils walking sticks that my thighs and forearms looked like I lost a fight with multiple bobcats. But other than that and the occasional twisted ankle I have been fortunate, and hopefully it will stay that way.

Does a heart attack count

Besides the occasional bump, scrap, and cactus needle; just my pride.

I was getting out of the stand one time when a was about 14. Grabbed a dead branch and it broke. Other than a 15 foot fall and a few stitches...thats about the only injury I've encountered.

While getting dressed for the last day of last deer season;I cut offthe tip of my finger . Apperently my Gerber EZ ZIp was not in its holster. I think it took five stitches. I was nearly dressed. I just needed my hat. I was standing in the bathroom with my finger under the fawcet and all of my cold weather gear on. My father in-law comes in and sees me sweating. He starts teasing me. He says' what's wrong can't you stand the sight of your own blood" . I said " NO YOU A@#$% HOLE I'M HOT" I think it was good for 5 stitches. I can't remember.

I did and it sucked.
I went on a trip one time with a buddy of mine and his family. We were pretty far out there and all were totally psyched and excited to be there. Well, shortly after getting into a tree I decided to chop off a limb. I was using a short machete with my right hand and steadying myself with my left hand on a higher branch. Well during one of my chops I raised the machete with pretty good force and hit my left index finger pretty hard with the back side of the blade. I looked at it and it was opened up pretty good. I knew it was a bad cut and needed stitches, but I could not bring myself to get down and go find my buddy’s father and end the hunt for everyone. I ended up cauterizing the cut with my knife blade and a lighter and finishing the hunt. My buddy’s father nicknamed me “hardcore” after that, which I thought was pretty cool. Peer pressure is tough for a young man!
