My season may be over

Hunted this morning on public land. Got down around 10 and found some fresh rubs and a scrape close to acorns. Went home and did some chores to make my wife happy. Was cutting a tree when he crashed down on my foot. Knew I broke it immediately. Xrays confirmed the break. Go to ortho Monday- praying it’s not going to need surgery. As a public land bowhunter, don’t think I will be cleared until Dec at the earliest. Going to have to live through you all.

I’d be limping my butt in to climb a tree. On the other hand I’m not too smart though! Sorry to hear that. Hope you heal up quick and kill a big one!

Thanks all for the kind words. My 4 year old son said, “dad as soon as you’re better, you are going to go kill a big deer and then you can take me when I turn 5”.

Got my words of motivation.

Sorry to hear, my 3 5 and 8 yos All chomping to go. Come on up to PA late season Flintlock after Christmas. I’ve got one you can use. Easy as a 500 yard walk or dangling for dear life.

Very sorry to hear about your troubles. Adapt and overcome, you're still able to hunt so make the best of it.

Thanks. Hard part for me is I will be limited as I hike in on most gameland. Will have to find some spots I don’t have to walk in far with crutches :)

I have a set of camp wrap crutches if you want. I also had triple by surgery and was back in the woods 13 days after getting out of hospital. Still had my chest clamped together finished out deer season with a handgun
