Well today was one of those days.

I was butchering my deer with my razor sharp knife set I just sharpened and I shaved a little off my first knuckle on my index finger on my right hand when I was distracted by a jogger for a second.

I cleaned it and put a bandaid on.  30 minutes later as I'm cutting off the back quarter I slice about 1/8" into my finger for a length of about 1.2 inches, managing to cut through the bandaid!  

So I got done doing all sorts of cutting, chopping, dicing, grinding etc without further incident wearing glove on  my wounded hand.

I think I'm gonna ask santa for one of those knife proof gloves for christmas this year.

So I'm shooting my bow and I split a knock, I see the arrow go sideways, the bow basically dry fired, except the string shot into my nose taking a small piece off my right nostril.

Yowsers this bowhunting stuff is dangerous!   :D

Haha no, I'm normally very smooth with such things!  It was just one of those days.  But I got all three injuries out of the way so maybe I'll be good for a while?

I have a chain mail glove and it's the bomb for that stuff, especially when you start to get tired or looking at joggers.

Seems as if the most of us can't escape a day of errant actions.

Just glad your injuries were not major.

I haven't cut myself while skinning and quartering a deer before. I have gotten scrapes from bones that I cut though.

I used to have a wire mesh filet glove, but i'm sure it's rusted somewhere.  I need to pick up a new one for my left hand. I'm careful, but it's better to just be safe.
