I'm a veterinarian and one of the fellows I hunt with is also a vet so the stitching up part isn't a big problem for us.
My first cousin and I have hadadjoining properties for the last 40yrs. He has the Biggest Veterinary Clinic in Tampa!
You close to there? He is probably in his 60's, his first name is Edgar and I'll find out his last name for you. He is retired and drives all the way over here to hunt with us once in a while. He's friends and trades dogs with one of the guys I hunt with.
No, Tallahasee is about 4hrs from me, but that's the area I hunted for years. Can't say I know him.
