Good luck to you Papabear! Those surgeons can do some amazing things. I'll be praying for you as well!
Take care

About their.
I have cleared out the paths to two of my hunting spots kind of a major deal with all the powerful storms this summer so I can at least get to my spots and get a deer out .
I still need to get up north and do the same their.
I have made another modification to my crawler deer cart buy adding a plywood support across the frame to hold up the deer's head .
last year the head was wanting to flop down between the bars and I ended up using rope to wrap around the frame for a quick fix but this will be much better a simple piece of plywood with 2 attached slats that run along parallel to the frame on the underside.
I have the cart tires properly inflated as they tend to loose pressure over the off season.
The best part is I did not even have to cut the wood had a scrap piece that was about perfect.
I have my main bow shooting bulls with broadheads at 30 yards but still need to put my back up through its paces.
I got my deck stained so my dreaded summer task is out of the way.
All in all not looking to bad.
Tomorrow is the small game opener in MI so I will be in the woods with a .22 for bushy tails !

Sorry to hear that! But it's better than the alternative. Better to be laid up and hunt another day! :thumbup:

wish you all the best Papa Bear. May you enjoy the smells of the woods and drive an arrow or two and get the adrenaline going a time or two also. :clap:

Today is the day and I sure hope that Papabear comes through it ok. I went in a several years back expecting to get a stint put in and they did a quadruple bypass surgery on me. It turned out that my blockage was over 90% in all the arteries. Next year will be my 10 year anniversary of the surgery. Prayers sent for Papabear.
