HOW SHARP ARE A BOARS CUTTERS???*****GRAPHIC****** - 12/19/21 11:17 PM
48 hours ago I shot a nice Boar. I managed to get him up on the ATV and out of the mountains. When I went to unload him I grabbed him by the ears to drag him off the ATV and that’s when it happened! He was heavier than I anticipated and as he came off the ATV I lost my grip and his cutter caught me on my thumb and ring finger. It cut about half way through the end of my ring finger to the point I could just about bend the tip over on its side. By the time I got back to camp there was more of my blood on the ATV than pig blood.
I got the bleeding stopped and then made the decision to drive to Walmart to get some first aid stuff and wash it out real good since our camp does not have running water. Once it was cleaned up good I super glued it back together cuz I sure as heck wasn’t doing stitches on myself. Thankfully I always keep antibiotics in my hunting pack so I’m doing that as well. I’m starting to get some feeling back in it now so hopefully it’s going to heal pretty quick.
Lesson learned here is to always stay away from the head of a pig even if it’s dead! It could have been much worse had it caught my arm or leg as he fell to the ground.
