I was fighting my way through a thick spot yesterday to get to an area I wanted to hunt and got all tangled up in honey suckle vines, greenbriar thorns and the dreaded locus tree thorns.
These are some serious thorns for those not familiar. They are on the trunk and on low hanging branches and will go through a hunting boot sole in a second. I know.
Anyway, I had my pruners out snipping my way through and mistook my bow string for a vine. Second I shut down on it I realized my mistake, but was too late. All buy about 4 strands got cut. Got it unstrung quick and put the spare on.
One less freak accident I got to go through anyway.
