I almost removed a finger -- tip? I skinned one once... (reply)

when vigorously hand-stoning a bigger blade that had been 'over-used'. Neat slice that took callus and down to the pink layer, with some capillary oozing. A 'freezing' instant there for a splint moment, until I was that it wasn't actually a good sized finger-print filet.

The worst was a Buck-sized lock-back that folded back onto the little finger. Definitely kept me occupied, applying pressure and figuring out how avoid an emergency room visit. Omce it has clotted bit I cleaned it fast and applied crazy glue, a simple big patch and wrapped the hell out of it. Worked and little or no scar,

I keep a 'kit' in the top compartment of my tool-chest, as careful as can be, sometimes isn't completely John-proof. Hard cross grain-y oak and over-pressuring a carving V-tool is pretty good for owies, too.

Mostly baby-stuff compared to real injuries most folks have had, but it IS annoying when you get stains on the wood repair.

We used to be pretty fast though when I lived in PA. We would end up with multiple whitetails on the gamblin pole. We would skin them with knife, rope, a tennis ball, and the hitch on Kenny's 72 Bronco with the 302 in it. I loved that old Bronco, wish I had one now. They aren't as dirt cheap as they used to be, that's for sure.

Deer are like wimmin. (reply)

I had a friend with a butcher shop who was very quick at skinning as well. He used compressed air to loosen the hide first though because he usually did not have fresh, warm deer to dress out. I usually let mine hang with the hide on for up to two weeks before skinning and butchering, makes for very good meat, but the hide does not come off easily by then.

That`s Fast!!!! (reply)
