arjimlad Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I've stuck my thumbs into the pigeon's chest cavity to "unroll" the breastbone and meat from the rest of the bird only to jab my thumb painfully on a broken bone. Pigeon's revenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Friend of mine had a wayward spaniel (any spaniel that ain't, isn't worth having). Dog decided to investigate sheep - the first one that he had seen. Just a quick mooch. Would not come back to the whistle until he had had a good look at the woolly jumpers. Eventually he came back, and as the owner took a vicious swipe at him (as a show of effection), said spaniel dodged like a good 'un. Said owner them mashed his hand on a boulder in mid-swipe, and ended up at the local hospital with two broken fingers. I thought that it was funny at the time, but the owner didn't.

Devilishdave Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I was picking up a hare that I hod shot it was stone dead entry and exit wound in the head straight through the brain. I grabed it and one leg sliped out of my hand. It was twitching and it s legs were going my hand ended up quite badly clawed.

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I remember buying my first shotgun with ejectors - an Aya No 4 (never should have sold it). I was so pleased that I went out, and blasted two shots off into the air, and then with great anticipation slowly opened the gun to see if the ejectors would work. I put my head very close to to the action to watch the magical event. Yep, both cartridges came rocketing out, and one hit me smack in the eye from 6" range. I ended up screeching like a banshee, cussing and swearing but remembered to hold onto the gun with one hand whilst I rubbed my eye with another. My mate of course wanted an action replay once he had got up from the ground as he was laughing so much. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one of the Crabs (7" across shell) pushed claw through the bag a clamped onto my little finger, which it managed to split & snap, my mate managed to rip the claw off of the Crab, before the Crab had my finger right off.

Gemini Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Right……my turn. @ 10 years ago I bought a nice little 20 bore O/U, the only thing that was wrong with it was the fact that the fore-end kept coming off due to the fact that it wasn’t catching the barrel clamp properly. One night I decided to strip it down and have a go at tightening it up. There was a little bit of gentle filing to do and after several fittings it went on, but only if it was forced. I thought to myself, just one more swipe with the file and it will be perfect, but unfortunately it was wedged tight. SO! I put a small screwdriver under the latch and pushed…….slipped………..and put the blade straight through my wrist. My first reaction was to pull it straight out….which was when this rather frightening spurt of bright red stuff came shooting out…I had gone straight through the Ulna artery. You cannot believe the scene that greeted the ambulance men when they arrived. The kitchen floor was absolutely covered in blood, and there was blood all over the cabinets. Every time I moved the blood spurted out like a water pistol which covered anything in a range of 18 inches. At first they refused to come in unless we could assure them that it wasn’t a “Domestic”. They then wrapped me up to stem the bleeding and took me down to Selly-Oak hospital in Birmingham…….who didn’t have a trauma unit at the time due to reorganization. SO!……..they sent for a taxi to take me down to the General hospital in the middle of Brum. We arrived at @ 3.00am in the morning and had to push our way through a group of nurses who were waiting outside for an emergency that was on its way. So being in a generous mood (I think it’s called shock) we went and sat down in reception. It was only when my wife asked if we could see a doctor that it was discovered that the “Emergency” that they were waiting for ….was me. They were staggered that Selly-Oak had sent me in a bloody taxi. Ten years on and I still have trouble gripping things in my left hand due to nerve damage caused by opening up my hand and wrist to do the repair. The moral is don’t mess about with a screwdriver at 2.00am when you are tired. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) I was fixing in my gunsafe around a month ago.. one of the rawl bolts wouldnt grip after a while. But eventually the bolt and nut were tight, however about 1" of the threaded bolt stuck out into the safe. I was peed of with it by now, so I tightened the bolt properly, got my dremel kit, and put a minature grinding disk on. I just finished cutting the bolt in half when the machine slipped, and the little dremel and metal cutting disk slid up my arm. I looked like I had attempted suicide All healed now.. apart from a tiny line. Edited April 22, 2006 by Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
