[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2934812, member: 75451"] Reading LDHunter’s post made me think of an incident that happened to me about 10 years ago. A dead……as in 2 days dead, quartered, and beheaded (head still attached to the neck) antlered animal can still hurt you! We brought a little 6 point bull home in the described condition, and I was dragging quarters (hair on) from the truck bed, onto a piece of 3/4” plywood for a thorough clean-up before hanging! The last part removed from the truck was the head/neck. The antlers hit the board and bounced, a lot, toward me. As the antler on my side was quite rapidly approaching my face…..I instinctively brought my left hand up to block the ”attack”! A tine hit right in the center of my palm ….. making a pretty deep puncture wound. I’ve been in several pain inducing incidents in my life, motorcycle wrecks, tree stands collapsing from beneath me, one shot to the chest (air rifle)……just a short list of some of my little “bumps and bruises“ in life. But nothing compared to the immediate, and high intensity of pain when that tine entered my palm. As my doctor treated my “boo boo” (thoroughly flushing, inserting a drain-tube, and stitching) I asked him why the pain intensity. He explained that the tine hit a “nerve bundle” (my term), right where all of the nerves from the fingers gather! So, a word of[B] WARNING……a very dead animal can still hurt you! 😉[/B][I]memtb [/I] [/QUOTE]
