Well gang, I have been on this forum everyday, almost all day long,for the last month, ( since my neck / spine surgery ), sucking the life out of every thread and every one of your stories. I have " met " some really great and helpful people, and I just want to say thank you to you all for letting me live through you.

I worked almost everyday ( literally )for the first 8 1/2 months of the year ( didn't want to but boss said be there or don't come back ) ,and allI was waiting on was deer season. Then I was put off work due toan oldinjury on 8/18 and had to have my surgery 9/14.

I was waiting on deer season soooooo bad. It is all I wait for every year. I do not do any other hunting or fishing really, no time to. And I found out yesterday that not only have I missed the opening of Bow season here OCT.1, but muzzleloading starts tomorrow ( sat. ) and I am out of it too. Modern Gun season starts the 2nd weekend of Nov., the 11 th, and I am out for it too as I don't go back to the Doc.'s until the 13 th. And I may not be released then either. The bones have to have a good start on fusing together. Right now it is like my neck is broken, and I have to wear a brace 24 / 7.

So I am writing this to say keep the stories and pics coming, because wheather you realize it or not, you guys are the luckiest people in the world to me right now, and some of us are depending on you toget er' done. I wish you all the best of luck.

Thanks again and seriously, be safe and God Bless you all.
