I would find a way to hunt or at least get out and enjoy the woods. As much as I love trad hunting there are other ways to bring home venison.

Sorry to hear this Tim......hope you heal up quick.

I did a simular thing years ago now. Broke it in 4 places. Doc put me in an old fashion plaster cast for 6 weeks. What a bummer, could not shoot for 3 months but i did the thepary and have not had any issues since.

Man, what a bummer.
I'm sure you'll find a way to get out and enjoy the woods. I know if it were me, it would be a perfect excuse to warm up the 22 and fill the fryin pan with some of the 1000 squirrels that have invaded the woods I hunt.

Sorry to hear this.  Back in 2001 I took my fall.  Missed the whole season.  Don't rush recovery and hunt smarter in the future.

Glad it was not worse than it was. I enjoy using a video camera sometimes as much as the shooting. It is fun to see what wildlife you can video.
