The 3 Doty brothers got together for 6 days of fun and games in the woods and on the water.  It is a given that when 2 or more of us get together, someone ends up bleeding.  We just never know who it’s gonna be.  Thursday morning I took a small forked horn with the crossbow and brother Jason caught his first walleye that afternoon.  Friday morning brother Dave saw one doe at a distance and Brother Jason missed a shot at a turkey.  I ended up being the one to bleed Friday evening, punching a hook through the end o my finger.  That tickled real good.  We saw nothing in shooting range Saturday, Sunday, or Monday.  Good to have all three brothers together.

Ouch!  That one looks like it smarted.  At least it popped out and didn't lodge under the nail...

Sounds like you boys got to spend some great time together in the woods and out on the water.  Thats a nice Walter too!

How did that happen DD?  The eye of the hook still has paint.  

Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me)

I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)

I thought that as well but didn't mention it.

I was using that hook to punch the eye of another hook.  Saw something shiny, slipped on a good push and felt a thump.  Was truly surprised to see it had gone all the way through and thought, I gotta get a picture of that one.

On the down side I have read of 3 separate fatal hunting accidents in MO over the weekend and one in AR, bad stuff, be careful out there.

I got hunter certified something like 9 or 10 years ago, and I remember at least from a little before that, to up until the last 6-7 years, MDC used to have a brief explanation of all the serious accidents that happened during rifle season, either as part of a general write-up of opening weekend/all of rifle season, or as a completely separate little article. I think they had the same during spring turkey season too. It basically explained the situation as far as they knew it,  something hypothetical like, "real cold day so guys put propane heater on max in shooting house, guys dozed off, propane heater malfunctioned, eventually exploded, killing one and injuring the other hunter in process". For some reason they stopped it, or at least only give a very brief mention of it nowadays, that's very lacking in detail. Anybody else remember something like that or am I going crazy? I feel like that would still be helpful to read up about to keep you vigilant on what kind of things end up going wrong. On that note, anybody got any more info on what happened in those cases?

 

As far as opening weekend went for me, well, I was at work. 4th year in a row that opening weekend hit on my weekend shift. I wasn't too upset about it since I hunt public land, and figure I'd rather have the following week completely off to go instead like usual, mainly because of the safety standpoint with there being less people outside of opening weekend. This year however I wasn't able to make things happen during the 7 days I went out. I actually only saw 1 doe with a little one in tow, in those 7 days, and I didn't shoot cause of the younger one. Hopefully going once during antlerless will work out instead.

I heard one fell out of a tree and accidentally shot himself. Young guy too.
