I have used thick leather welders’ gloves in the past to remove the occasional squirrel from a trap. The thing bit down on it, but it’s teeth couldn’t penetrate the leather. I don’t think I would try it on anything much bigger.
I also remember when I was a kid working on a farm, we were tying cauliflower and a coworker reached in to check a head and was bitten by a bat. He went against everyone’s advice to go to the hospital. He got lucky though. He’s still around.
I was thinking of the situation that you find yourself in when I was caching in West Bend last Saturday. There were two seperate caches that I reached into tree holes to retrieve. Like Zuma, I usually try to use a stick to poke around a bit, but I was in too big of a hurry because nature was calling.
I hope everything goes good for you. Any idea what bit you?
