walk carefully

i got out to check a trail camera yesterday, got ready to get back into my truck and stepped on a small stump. I heard a loud snap. Now I cant put any pressure on my foot. I can get around, but its a slow process. Im gonna play it out today and see if things get better. If not, Im gonna go have xrays done. Im not sure if the snap was the stump or my foot. I know my ankle rolled pretty badly. No major swelling, but I cant move my foot at all without pain. Im hoping its just a bad sprain since most of the pain is on the outside of my ankle(this is my same ankle I tore 10 years ago). But its just a reminder to walk carefully in the woods. Its amazing how fast you can roll or break you ankle without expecting it. Hopefully nothing major is done since season is 2 weeks away!

but fear not.. broken ankle or not, im hunting

anyway.. goodluck and happy hunting to those out in the woods today

I'm sorry about your ankle crazy, but I know it won't stop you. I've had
ankle problems and know how hard they are to heal, heck, you got
to walk..Be careful on it friend. Thanks for the warning!

I know how you feel. Everytime I go for a run all my old injuries remind me why I should stop running...

Sorry to hear about that. Hopefully it's nothing major and you're able to hunt comfortably soon!

Oops!

I know that hurts. Hope it isn't anything serious, and that you get over it quickly, 'Crazy.

I stepped squarely on a little-bitty 'ol cypress knee this past Monday ... only about three inches high ... and I thought it was gonna go through my shoe! It was as pointy as the tip of your pinky finger ... the ground in this area had one about every two feet.

I suppose you have cypress trees where you are ... I'll bet a lot of our members wouldn't know a cypress knee from their own knee!

Everybody do be careful out there! It's easy to get hurt!

Poor timing! I hope you heal fast.
I did a header playing midnight hide and seek in the woods a few weeks ago with the kids, blew out my shoulder, thought I cracked my clavicle. I will not be hunting with my compound/recurve anytime soon..

Get well soon Farmer---Grizz---you been in my swamp?--That looks like the same slough bed where I tripped and did one of those high-step dances ( stump dance ) for about 10 feet to keep from falling on my face---my ankle still twinges

Sorry to hear about your foot Crazy ! When I pulled my calf muscle, the physiotherapist told me to ice and heat the area several times a day to help speed up the healing. It helps get the blood out of the swoolen area and improves circulation. Ten munutes cold, ten minutes heat pad, one hour watch hunting channel. Then start all over again. Remember Crazy ! these are doctors orders and the wife and kids have to obide by them.
