I have been hunting with a bad back and arthritis for years and this year I have added a ruptured disc and dislocated ribs to the mix. I am avoiding surgery by using an inversion tables and seeing a good chiropractor, I am feeling quite a bit better than a couple of months back. I cannot hike like I used to and a comfortable chair is essential. I still cover more ground and get farther back than most of the tree sitting compounds kids do. i have passed on taking shots at a good ten pointer twice this year, slowing down has a way of giving me more opportunities, but I need to also take extra planning to take advantage of those chances. The next time the big boy comes around I am going to shoot, I have hunted enough for deer this year, it is time to chase the turkeys.
