Just got the news that MattB, a MM regular, got a big buck this afternoon but cut himself really bad while skinning it. I was hunting with both Matt and his brother Steve this past week. They went home to hunt their own hidey holes yesterday. Here's a post of Steve's that I cut and paste from a local forum.
"Well mattb and i went hunting this morning it was warm and not to much moving i spotted a nice buck but could not get a shot. I was hunting some spots we have found some decent sheds on and matt was hunting his favorite spot when i heard 3 quick shots thinking it was matt i started to hunt in his direction and i came upon a horriable scene. i was walking along and i heard some one call my name and it was matt and he told me he killed a monster but while skinning it his knife slipped and stabbed into his leg!!! well when i found him he was really pale and could not walk so i ran as fast as i could to get my truck to get him to a docter. well we made it home called the ambulence i took matt to meet them and i think the docter said he severed his arterie in his leg, i felt sick but i knew my bro would be fine well he is now off to kelowna and i went out to get his deer i found out just how big it is imagine dana's deer from this year but add like 30 more inches of mass lol. well just to let you all know i think matt will be fine but i am not to sure so please keep him in your minds and please all be safe out there."
Please keep Matt in your thoughts and prayers.
