Default RE: Hunting Injuries

Rolled a truck and messed up my back, minor cuts and abrasions ,7 mile walk out.

Rolled a canoe in the middle of one of the most dangerous rivers in Idaho. Almost drown and lost half my gear. I was a long way from our portage point and became hypothermic.

Went elk hunting right after kidney surgery, Somehow while packing a bull out, I jammed the stint I had in me through the wall of my bladder, that led to 3 days in the hospital and I was pi$$ed because the bulls were in full rut. As soon as they let me out, I was back into the hunt... I had to pull the catheter out to keep it from rubbing my leg though, that scored big points with the Doc!!!!

I ended up with Giardia one year, miles from the trailhead. That put me in the hospital too with IV bags hooked to me.2 days after that I headed back in with a 12 pack of Charmin strapped to my back...

You should see the look on everyones face when one of the crew (not me this time) rams a blade 3 inches into his leg miles from no where. One of the group took up sewing on that trip...

2 years ago I escaped with everything but my pride when I thought that I could blow through a snow drift in the canyon that I bear hunt in. Needless to say, my truck was on the edge of rolling down a mile long hill into a deep canyon. I walked 9 miles this trip to use a phone and call a tow truck. The truck met me in the middle of nowhere and charged me 250.00 to get my truck headed in the right direction. I got home at 3:30 the next morning....

Last year I ate the skin and meat off both heels. The last day of the antelope hunt I ended up walking through the desert in my bedroom slippers.

3 years agoI ruptured a disk while elk hunting. Hydrocodone was my friend for the rest of the season and helped me harvest a 5 point...

Some days you eat the bear, and some days the bear eats you!!!!
