Chasing quail in south Texas just outside of Cotulla. We were laughing and having a good time. I heard one of the guys screaming, so I go back to see what's going on and he is walking back holding his hand. He had tripped and fallen on a mesquite stump. It went into the back of his hand, but not all the way through. When we did not respond quickly enough, he had to yank his own hand off of the stump.
He ended up spending the next several months fighting off some bad arse infections. The anti-biotics almost got him to, because they killed his natural bacteria as well. There were a couple of times that they were not sure he was going to make it.

Driving back to college when I was 20 my pickup died one night, in the rain. A 3/4 ton Suburban with 5 hunters in it picked me up. It was the middle of the night so the were going to have to take me to a town 30 miles down the road. They offered me an Old Milwaukee Light and I accepted. It made me feel funny and the next thing I know I wake up in a cabin in the hills, presumably SE OH. They said I fell asleep and there wasn't any place to drop me off the night before so they just proceeded to their camp. After breakfast they would run me back into town.

This is where it gets weird. Over breakfast the conversation turned to their favorite hunts. Wolves, bears, rhinos...humans. WTF?! As breakfast was winding down I was told, "We''ll run you back to town after a short walk in the woods." I didn't like the sound of that so I excused myself to use the outhouse and bolted the frick out of there. Took me two days to find my way back to civilization.
