RE: Briar chaps
Ouch. I'm really sorry to hear that. Don't push it to hard coming back Letting things heal properly is better for the long term.
I actually bow hunted yesterday and mid-day ran the dogs to get them prepared for SD in 4 weeks for the opener. I think my dove season may be over as I get preped for SD and then the deer rut starts to kick in when I get back. In bad weather I go after some woodies or geese. I really start guiding bird huntsin December and end in early April.
