I'm sure you were expecting a pic of a deer, but sorry I'm not even close to that yet!
Just a quick story.
Last night was my first physical therapy session since my right rotator surgery 3 weeks ago.
Everything else is healed and good, and the rotator was the final surgery to be done. I've been out of commision since January, too long of a story to post.
Anyway, there I was walking in to my therapy session...with my unstrung longbow in hand! My arm had not moved in 3 weeks. Now, I don't exactly live in the backwoods, so I got some funny stares as soon as I walked in. The therapist says what the heck is that?
I explained that I knew I would be using broomsticks or canes as tools for the first movements of my arm. I then explained my archery history, and how I'd be using my healing bow instead. He okayed it, as long as no arrows came in with it.
So my first movements were with bow in hand!
I'm sure no one gave me a second thought after my initial entrance, but man I felt great...like the spotlight was on me!
The only people who even slightly understood why I brought that bow were my kids...even my wife just gave me a "your insane" look. (but she still brought me and carried my bow to the front door!)
So call me a weirdo, but I left feeling pretty darn good. I've had the bow with me all day so far working a little at a time.
And I filled my black bear hide possibles bag with antler burrs and pieces and have started light curls with it.
You've gotta keep things fun people, why be boring?
Keep the hunting stories coming, I am living my hunting season this year through everyone else's experiences...so post 'em! Any day is a day I'd love to hear about.....
