well i had my yearly check up today. everything was going well until i asked the dr to look a my left knee. i told him its been given me some trouble the last few weeks. so up goes the pants leg and before i got it up over the knee out comes you have a torn hamstring and a bad one at that. well now thats just dandy. i have to have a mir and possible some surgey on it. i asked him if i can go hunting still and he said only if i hunt from the ground no climbing at all. why can t these things happen in the summer time?

GA,

If it was in summer you'd be missin fishing season not being able to climb into the boat and all.

Good luck with it. They do a great orthoscopic job on knees these days.

That does suck, no way of hunting without the climb?

My season, too is in some jeopardy. My dad has been diagnosed with cancer, and I have been busy running him back and forth to doctors. Once the full diagnosis is complete, that should calm down. I completely missed bow and ML season, and I have only been twice all year.

My wife is the only one to kill a deer this year, which she took with our van.

I go in Dec. 4 for a pre-op for surgery on my shoulder. I have a SLP tear that can't wait anymore. I do have one spot I can hunt after the surgery where I can shoot one-handed. I also have put a feeder just outside my backyard. It's a 28 yard shot off the grill on the deck.

Where there's a will, there's a way!

Good luck with the knee.

Sorry to hear of the troubles. I hope you can find a way to hunt, but your health must come first so you can enjoy future seasons.

Thanks!

Dad's 84, so his odds of beating it are slim. He'll be lucky to get another year. He's had a long life, his salvation is assured, so there's nothing really to worry about. He just got a little advance notice of his departure, which is no small courtesy. I am going to try to get him in the blind once before Christmas. He hasn't hunted in years.
