We lost a wood owner last week near my village as he broke one of the three golden rules which was never go woodcutting alone, a dog walker found him hours later he was just about still alive but died at the scene. The person (not) with him would have called in an ambulance unit hours before, He had filled the tractors tank and it was half empty and still running when they found him so they could reconstruct the time of the accident.
Indeed, all too easy to get engrossed in the gralloch//larder work...... having had some odd cuts over the years - never try to catch a falling bloody knife with an unprotected hand
........ Once done, never forgotten - until the next time......
It’s not normally when shooting a daylight roe buck that you are in danger, when I have made mistakes it has been at 3 in the morning when I have a dozen deer to process in the larder and you have had a week of late nights that your concentration can slip. You are soaked to the bone, tired and cold and you are just thinking about how appealing your bed is when you slip up
Have got there’s, well worth it!
