Well it has been a week and I am able to get around at just about normal speed now.

Last friday I was walking across the yard when I noticed a 4 legged critter going over the hill down in the field.

So like a normal person, I went into the shack and got the 22-250.

After a bit of a hike I was able to catch up to it in the stack yard(were I store hay bales). One shot and a nice Red Fox was down.

As I was walking over to retrieve it, I had to go between a couple young poplar trees. There was a deer path there to follow, so I thought that would be a good way to get to the fox. Since I only had on running shoes and the snow was deep off the path.

As I stepped onto the deer path I felt a sharp pain in my right foot and ended up dropping my rifle. I couldn't move since my foot was stuck to the ground. I figured great I just put a rusty nail into my foot. Much to my surprise after I got my foot out and then pulled my shoe off. It was an old deer antler that was in the grass/ground. It was a old shed that has been laying there for a couple years and there were only 2 tines about 3.5" long sticking out of the ground.



I ended up stepping on the sharp tine(G-2) that has a slight bend to it.

It ended up going in about 2" or a little better.






The whole time that this was going on the herd of Mule Deer that feed in the stack yard everyday were standing 150 yards away watching.


I still can't believe that I stepped on a deer antler.

Ouch....bet that stings!! I jumped off a log one day and landed on a sapling that a beaver chewed off at a nice angle....my foot looked a lot like yours.

at least you fouund a shed, or it found you.

First Canuck and now you! Ouch!!

We'll need a volunteer to be the third.

it hurts just to think about it......
What happened to the fox?

the fox is in a better place now....

he is having sleep over with a couple of coyotes from earlier in the winter.

Youch!! That had to hurt a little.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Simpson's episodes from way back. The "Swear Jar" episode for those that watch it. Homer steps on a nail and, in his best efforts to refrain from swearing, says "Fiddle-dee-dee. That will require a tetanus shot."

And you are just recovering from something else too? Sounds like a bad run of it...hope things get better!

Cheers

Its probably 80% now. The skin (scar tissue)will never be as tough as the original. Its in a bad spot but I have a couple different pairs of boots that don't rub there, so I don't think it will slow me down much. Was never a big fan of 10" boots before, but I love them now!

Glad to hear that you are not too badly scared up.

Bikini season is coming soon.
