I feel for you. #1 thing for you is to...Get better! I had surgery about a month ago and it has taken longer than expected to heal. I live in NY and the season starts today. Today was the 1st time I felt good enough to target practice. Hopefully I'll be able to get in the woods maybe next weekend or more likely the weekend after. I'll be thinking about you and how lucky I'll be to hunt this year.
Take care and I hope you have a speedy recovery.
