bad way to end season early

[dude3274]

I dislocated my good knee last weekend. I have been hunting 4 years and have only shot one deer. I have had the turkeys patterned the past two years and the toms have just started strutting. I was going to go out this weekend but I wont be able to handle that kind of stress on my knee for a month or so. I hope everyone else has better luck than I do. Good luck this season

OOOOOO- Dude Rap the knee and get out there !!!!

I Broke an ankle one year on the first day of Missouri season , all week I hunted all day on a cain and slept at night with a garbage bag of ice on it. I killed a bird there. Flew back home and hunted another day in Ontario and killed a bird with the wife and then headed to New York Killed a bird there the first Morning and headed to PA, all on a broken ankle. I was swallen and Black and Blue from the tips of my toes all the way up to my knee and had to ware a unlaced running shoe on that foot because there was No way a boot was going on that foot. PA you can't walk anyware with out being on a hill side so if you go one way you have to go back. Not good on a broken ankle. Got home and went to the hospital and had it looked at. I had a choice to rebreak it or leave it. I chose to leave it

Ask Jalvja , he should remember that year.

Rap the knee and go sit up on a ridge someplace and call , you'll find sitting in one place is as good as walking around...BT

Last year when i was snowboarding i partially tore my acl and took a chip out of my knee cap in my left knee. I still went turkey hunting in the spring but it was too much to handle. I went every weekendd, but it never paid off, i never got a bird! Well good luck to you, i hope your knee feels better soon.

I had a broken foot last turkey season and asked the doctor for an air cast instead of a hard cast. I told him that I couldn't shift gearsin my truckwith a hard cast on. He agreed to it and I would just take it off and wrap my foot up past my ancle. There was no way I was going to miss Turkey season. Hopefully you will come up with something so you can get out there. Good luck
