I injured my pride today.[8D]
That should heal pretty quick Rob with no lasting effects.

I fell of the side of a tree a few years back. I grabbed a small limb on the way down and presto, seperated shoulder.

It took a year to get over that little stunt

I was limbing out a pine tree for a lock onstand. I sawed thru a limb and followed thru across one of my knuckles. I bent my finger to see if I cut a tendon. The cut opened up and I could see my tendon (they are white in case your wondering). Since the finger still worked I decided to finish hanging the stand. I kept dabbing my hand under my armpit to sop up the blood. The cut should have been stitched but I didn't want to quit hunting so I butterflyed it and wrapped it tight. I reopened the cut the next day drawing on a doe. I smoked her

Not personally, but my brother fell while climbing out of his stand. He was 15 ft up and the first couple steps down were branches, after that he had the "U" shaped screw in tree steps. One of the branches broke and he fell about 5 ft until one of the screw in steps hooked him under the rib cage. He managed to get his foot on the next lower step and pick himself up to dislodge himself, but he ended up with 3 broken ribs and a pretty good scar where the step went in. He came close to puncturing a lung, and needed help getting out of the woods. Its a good idea to carry 2 way radios or a cell phone for just such an accident.

my brother-n-law &I were hanging a stand the week before opening day and got finished up, hauled up the bow for a shot or two to ck yardage, jumped up and down a few times to ck the set and lowered the bow. I turned to face the tree to dismount and heard a pop, to my surprise the tree started to grow?????? 18ft. down I went caught a climbing stick rung (home made) in the right knee cap, then stuck one in my inner thigh near my boys, that one ripped around to my left knee-cap.. then I rolled offto fall the remaining four foot to the ground .Blood lost- nearly 1/3 my total, Fall -900+stitches, Time off work- 4 weeks, Time in the woods- All of bow season and most all of gun , Climbing up a tree without a harness -priceless !!!!!! Think before you climb, it wont count if you don't come home..
