RE: my season might be over..
Take it a step at a time. See what the ortho guy says and let it heal a bit. You may find that once the intial trauma heals some that you get by just fine for hunting and can fix it after the season. I tore my cartlage in two places playing soccer four years ago in september. The Doc said that I wouldn't likely hurt it more so waiting until january would be fine. It was a little shaky so I wore a neoprene brace hunting. You are young and will heal just fine, this type of surgury has come a long way....also, I'm sure your coach feels awful and stupid. I doubt he was trying to hurt you. If you agree then forgive him and move on.
