Dang George, Hope you recover quick and are able to work. Yeah like Charlie says, better go with the camo cast. Shoot set you up a blind that you can crutch to. Were there's a will there's a way brother.

Thanks Guys, Charlie that "stalking cast" is a great idea  :campfire:
stalk softly and carry a bent stick

mongoose, I've been having my worst season in a long...long time, then I read this. I have nothing to complain about now. At least I can still get a couple more days of hunting in. The season will end early for me this year due to some scheduled surgery the end of December.

Keep your sense of humor and get well soon!

Hey, atleast it wasn't your arm. Let the pain go away and then set up a ground blind close to home. Hoble out there, sit down on a bucket and shoot the plump doe. Just line up help to drag it out and watch out for that last step, its a doosie. Good luck

I am sure you can hunt with a broken leg. I hunted a day after having knee surgery. Doctor wasn't happy but I was!! I had to use cruthes to get into and out of woods, but I managed! Shawn

Wishing you a speedy recovery. I'm with the rest a ground blind is looking better all the time. Good luck.
Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.

As Charlie suggested, have the Doc put on a stalking cast.  In 1990 I had a crushed heel and managed to kill my biggest elk after hobbling in over a mile on crutches.  Now getting it out was another story; thank god for a truly good brother.  Limitations are often what you make of them, the crutches forced me to go slow, select, and then stay in my favorite ambush spot.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Sorry to hear that!  
My season ended October 4 with a BAD bicycle accident - three broken bones in the skull, nose and eye socket.  Left shoulder severely bruised - just now am able to shoot a few arrows with 36# limbs on a target bow.
