Now that I have your attention with my "clickbait" title, I would like to ask you: what's your worst trapping related injury?

Knives and grass. Hows that for clickbait? Cut myself several times through the years, several got stitched, a couple didn't. The worst was several years ago, stopped to look at a snare. A piece of grass was sticking right through where the coyotes nose would go, so I got out to get rid of it. Grabbed it with my bare left hand and jerked, that piece of Johnson grass, a noxious weed, cut the middle finger deep. Bled all over the set, all over the outside and inside of my truck before I could get some toilet paper wrapped around it to slow it down! It's the little things that get ya! 500 dollars at the closest hospital cured the issue!

2 years ago I got hammered in a #3 Bridger, on my index finger the 1st day, and on the middle finger the 4th day on my right hand. Right on the nail bed. Man that smarted. To this day if I get to close to a Bridger #3 I am liable to wet myself.

I might as well tell you what happened to me the other week: I caught my thumb in a 4 coil Bridger #2 Dogless, but I got caught on the side, so it wasn't in the offset. I never want to get caught by my thumb like that again. If it was my whole hand, I dont think it would have been nearly as bad.

Hit the side of my hand with a 2 pound hammer while driving an earth anchor. Didn’t break a bone thank God but carry a scar. I’ve since welded a tee to the driver making it a big more idiot proof,lol.

Wiping off my fleshing knife in a hurry got 8 stitches on my thumb. Top of my nail down to the bone. Boy o boy did I learn a new respect for that knife. Had a hard time doing everything the rest of that season

Last year I caught the very tip of my thumb in an mb 450. Didn’t feel too good. Last winter I was setting some beaver traps with a friend, and heard a snap behind me. Somehow he caught is arm way back in a belisle 330 just below his elbow. Luckily I was there to release him!
