So I was painfully reminded yesterday that injuries dont just happen out on the line. While in the fur shed skinning coons I was using my thumb to push through and separate the skin from the carcas near the tail I dislocated my thumb. Luckily I was able to persuade it to relocate. Though sore, stiff, and a little swelled I was able to get through work today and run my line this afternoon with a little wincing and cussing. Methinks I will make a dowel such as the one Hal uses in his fur handling video to prevent this from happening again.
