I have a buddy who shot a bird today. Went to go get it after he shot it, grabbed it by the legs and had a good hold on it. Well, he must have lost his grip and he got a sput right between his thumb and index fingers. He had to get 3 stiches. He's shot a lot of birds but still forgot to watch the spurs. O well, had a good laugh about it. It was a nice bird though, 20 pounds, 12 inch beard, 1 1/2 spurs.
