Buckeye,

First and foremost, get healthy. If it is your rotator cuff then it will likely be something you are going to deal with to some degree for the rest of your life. That can range from occasional soreness/stiffness to loss of motion and strength. The shoulder girdle is the ultimate example of "use it or lose it" so stay focused on your recovery and maintain a good range of motion until you are healed enough to begin to regain the strength in those muscles. I'm sure you will be fine........you've got so many years of hunting ahead and that is what you need to focus on now.

Seriously dude............If someone had told me you hurt yourself I would have assumed it was dragging a monster out or trying to load him in the truck alone

Think how lucky that first deer is............and he doesn't even know it.

Hunting is unreal........so many ups and downs.

Glad you are OK and wish you all the best on a speedy recovery.
