Ahhh, ya' sissy. Why, back in the day we used to break both our legs BEFORE we went hunting, just to make it fair for the critters. We didn't have no tree stands on account of ladders being too expensive. So, we'd shove a jet-pak up our bums, fire it off when we heard the critters, and shoot 'em when we reached the apex. Then we'd use a sharp part of the bone pushing through either our left or right thigh (hunter's choice) to skin the critter. We'd then tie it to our backs and drag ourselves back to camp on our elbows where we'd build a smokehouse outta heavy rocks and do the "sweat lodge" thing while the fresh critter smoked until it was preserved. Usually took about a week. We'd get a bit dry sitting in the smokehouse with the critters and if it wasn't for the Coors Light, we'd a'never made it out alive. You youngsters are just sissies.
Seriously, CJ, I'm glad you made it out without greater injury. Safety is vital--even more so if you're clumsy.
