Having been requested to provide more info on the appendage, here you go. I had my stitches taken out today and have been to two sessions of therapy. I am getting some strength back in my thumb and my ring finger isn't "clawed" like before. My pinkie is still bent but in a very rakish manor. I may or may not remain that way I am told. I would add some character to my hand anyway. When people ask me what happened I tell them that I had an accident while branding Jackalopes. You will note that the picture is of a true Jackalope and not of a Jackadeer. Most pictures and head mounts are of Jackadeer. It is an easy mistake to make and many don't know the difference. Take a close look at the horns (not antlers) and you will understand the difference. It's subtle but many true Wyomingites can tell them apart from some distance away.

I hope the ladies can resist the rakish little finger, and I'm glad all else seems to be going well. I have also observed the incorrect identification of jackalopes! We wyo kids are pretty hard to fool!
I am still amazed by how many people actually believe in the "Jacklope" or the "porcupine eggs" Here's hoping for a speedy recovery. I have had hand therapy before, it is NOT fun.
Very true. I like Jackadeer better though. They tend to bite less.
the Jackadeer keeps the rube and city folk happy and they'll never know the difference. I like to think of it as pay back for all the trouble the city folk give the country folk. That and the ever popular "Snipe" hunt.
