TRAD Hunting Season Probably Over
« on: November 08, 2010, 01:02:00 PM »
My Trad hunting season is probably over.  I go in Wednesday for umbilical hernia surgery.  From what I hear it will probably be 4 to 6 weeks before I will be able to start shooting my bow again.  I doubt I'll maintain the strength to be able to shoot as consistently as I want in order to go to the woods and hunt deer.  Oh well, there is always next year.

Good luck and I hope for a speedy recovery. Don't let it get you down, there is always next year. Get out in your hunting area and just observe.

I had hernia surgery earlier this year and was told I'd be out of work for at least a week or two.  Different type of hernia, but still.  I missed a day and that was because it hurt to drive.  I definitely needed the weekend to recoop though.  You'll be fine.

At least this way you'll have an excuse to have someone else drag, load, and skin your deer.

Best of luck Bill, we will be thinking of you. Just look at the bright side. This will give you more time to watch the classifieds and snatch up the good deals before we see them.

Good luck Bill.  I feel for you.  I had hand surgery in April, and had to have it again in June.  My hand was in a cast for 3 months.  I missed all of NYs turkey season. I got my accuracy back in no time.

Prayers for a good surgery and speedy recovery.  I know your trad hunts are probably over for the year, but I hope you can still get out in the woods.

:pray:  Hope you get well soon and get out there to just take a walk and look around....shooting will come back soon enough!

My prayers are with you Bill.

It's a good thing when it's something that surgery can fix and you can look down the road to a time when you can be back at it again.

Hope all goes well with the surgery. Maybe you could take a kid out and still get in the woods?

Hang in there. Maybe it will go better and easier than you think and you can get back to shooting.

Best of luck.

Bill, that's rough.  I can tell you that I've been trying to keep my dad's spirits up.  A week before our season started he was rushed to the hospital with a perforated appendix.  He spent over a week in the hospital and is still recovering.  The toughest part for him is the mental aspect of not being able to hunt.  Get well soon Bill and look forward to the next season you can get out there.

Ohhh noooooo. I'm going to the doc on Dec 1 for a consultation on the same thing!!!!!!

I think I will postpone any surgery until after hunting season. So far it has not hurt to shoot my bow.

Good Luck!!!!!!
