Sorry for your injury.

Just a silly question. If you hunt with a rifle, can you learn to shoot off-hand between now and the season. If you have surgery soon, by November, you should be able to handle the recoil of a rifle on your opposite shoulder. You would just need the strenth to rest the rifle. It may not be as long, but it gets you in the woods.

I guess the other option is to buy a video camera or still camera and shoot some film for the season. It may not be ideal, but you will be in the woods.
