Not as painful as I would have thought but a terrible time to teach my son how to use a setter for the first time

Ouch. Belisle or no? I'm not going to say anything about catching or not catching myself in a 330 or 280 for fear of jinxing myself. But that has gotta hurt.

Bridger. Set with the trigger down in a pretty deep slide. I didn’t like how the trigger was kind of laying down so I grabbed the upper jaws while I was adjusting the dog down below. No gloves and my hand must have been really cold and loosened my grip without realizing it. Lesson learned but glad I wasn’t trapping alone today.

Yea I was a little worried about it slipping off. It would have hurt but I think it would have hurt my son even worse because he was pretty panicked. He thought we should go home right away to take care of my hand, but I convinced him we should get some more sets put in first. If there are beaver in the sets tomorrow he will be learning how to skin them unless my hands work better by then.

That is one club I hope I never have to join. I had to chuckle just a little when you said, it was a poor time to teach your son to use a setter. LOL Best wishes.

I know it hurt but it is a learning experience for your son. I am typing this with bone chip on my thumb bone from a stupid move about 14 years ago. Never did it again.

I never had the pleasure of a 330 but did have a Canada goose smack my knee with a wing bone and it knobbed up pretty good before the snow set in. It was good that you stayed in the cold as that hopefully helped the hand not swell so much. I hope you keep it warm tonight to keep the blood flowing and warm tomorrow in mittens so it does not stiffen up. Keeping it warm and flexing it is all you have. God heal you as I also hit the top of my hand with a hammer and that knobbed up too. I know it is not much comfort, but at least it does not seem to be a deep bone bruise as they take a long time to heal. You should be good to go in a few days.
