I slipped down a hill goin to a spotting location and had a beer bottle go through the palm of my right hand back in 2007 (the bottle was already broken and on the ground, not in my hand). Several stitches, then surgery to repair the severed nerves...half of my thumb is permanently numb. Good times.

Thanks guys for sharing your experiences. Despite it all, we never stop spotting. I am certain several of us vowed to cease spotting only to resume after hearing the sound of a jet engine. Good spotting and take care! I tried switching back to model building, which is satisfying as well, but spotting is where my heart is at. You all know what I mean.

I guess technically this guy would fall under the category of beaver spotting...

The fisherman wanted his photo shot with a beaver. The beaver had other ideas: It attacked the 60-year-old man with razor-sharp teeth, slicing an artery and causing him to bleed to death.
