I was shoeing one of the wifes horses when one of those big black carnivorius flies decided to take a bite out of him. Flayed my index finger like a hot dog, broke bones in a couple others......good times.
Well....there goes archery season...graphic

Hope u heal quick
Time for a crossbow.
I once decided to try and remove a broadhead from an arrow without a tool and had some instant regret followed by a lengthy one handed drive to the ER in the wee hours of the morning. I was able to convince the ER nurse to glue it together, wrap in tape, and help me get it into my hunting glove avoiding stitches and went back hunting. I used to be tougher, or dumber. Probably both.

Yikes OP. I have a scar I'll carry to my grave on the inside of my left hand I got when my horse decided he had enough of standing on three legs and pulled his front foot out right after I drove a nail through his shoe.
I’ve got the same scar on the same finger from one that pulled a foot just as I was about to twist the nail off, to the bone, out the end, had the vet sew it up.
What the heck! What is it with horse shoers and guns? If I’d a known there were so many farriers on this site I’d have a ton more posts. - any of y’all get sick of explaining what a farrier is so you just say your a horse shoer, then people are either like “ they still do that” or they think you said you shoot horses for a living.
Step above, smoother texture and sweeter in my experience. Damn good jerky too!
@Badguybuster Sincerest condolences, injuries like that hurt..... and remind you how much we take the daily function of our hands for granted. Best wishes on a full recovery. 
Hope you heal fast! Always rifle season.
I grew up on a horse farm and shoed our horses until I was 17, at which point I left and swore I would never touch another one.
get better and keep the infections out!

Motrin, water and get the sand out of your vagina.
Just kidding. Hope it heals quickly.

I see the surgeon Friday. The hand was so swollen by the time they got it all cleaned out that all they did was stabilize it.
That makes total sense.
Seen many a folk get pissed about waiting. They dont want to listen to why its important.
Best wishes. Heal quick!!

Was training a co-worked yesterday, he was cutting some poly tubing with a razor blade..told him to watch his knuckle and he chopped it off a split second later.

@Badguybuster Ouch...that looks really painful....not to pour salt in your wound, but I was just out shooting my bow last night getting ready for whitetail season.

Those of us with children know that it's rarely a good idea to interrupt someone in the process of doing something stupid - it usually increases the chance of the outcome you're trying to avoid.
Ouch! That brought back a memory of me working on one of my draft horses with a hoof knife (I had just sharpened razor sharp). I was in a hurry because I was outside and a storm was rolling in, and I had one hoof left to trim. Just as I was cutting, lightning/thunder spooked the horse and she pulled her hoof out from my grip and I buried that dirty hoof knife to the bone in left forearm! I was young, poor, and a long way from an emergency room. I let it bleed good before I had my ex wife use my arm hair to tie together across the wound(works like stitches)and bandaged it up good. Its a miracle I didn't get an infection, or hit any tendons. Good luck with the recovery, and try to let people help you! I know that doesn't come easy to alot of us.
