RE: have you ever got hurt while bow hunting..
Similar story here. I was all alone on one of those I'll go by myself because no one is as dedicated as me type deals. I made the truck 3 hours north all by myself to hunt the elusive whitetail. Set up camp for a weekend hunt climb up in my stand. Go to take my (at the time pop off quiver one of those you slide up with the plastic construction 15 years ago JUNK) anyway when I do like a idiot slide it up and my middle finger right in the broadhead. I almost took the tip right off.
I refused to stop hunting so I held pressure to it by holding my finger tight against my thigh. I saw no deer that night but my pants were soaked with that red stuff you dont want to lose to much of. Bandaged it up then went to clean it good the following day when I took the tight bandage off it instantly started bleeding again. I probably should have got stitched but I just left it and to this day I can still see the line where I was cut. I to had that thought of I cannot believe I just done that!
