Where there's a will there's a way. I broke my leg in half one late summer. The doc said no way I would be bow hunting come Oct. 1. He was wrong. I got a spike on opening day out of a ground blind I had made. The next day I shot one of the largest bucks I have ever killed from another natural ground blind I had made. He was a nice 9 point. It took me over2 hours to get him out, piece by piece. I was still using one crutch at the time and couldn't put any weight on my left leg. Needless to say that was a long painful but exciting morning. You are not crazy for going out, you are dedicated like most of us on this site are. BTW, the morning I killed the 9 point I started the morning off in a ladder stand and almost fell off. I didn't try to climb a stand again until my leg healed a little more. Just be careful and don't get in a hurry.
