Frank,
That's great that you got out. I take it the surgery went well?
The foot surgery went fine. I know have a big, long piece of metal in foot to help the bone heal faster.
Seriously though I went for my follow-up visit on Monday and the doc said everything looks great. They upgraded me to just wearing a boot (and who is to say there is a difference between a medical boot and a hunting boot?)

Frank, Shoot one that you have to get two friends to drag! Seriously though, don't over-do it.
Yeah, I wish...actually I do wish!

Seriously, I have always had very impressive experiences from the blind I hope to hobble up to. Last year I had my highest count of deer in one day from that stand...26 in the morning and 31 in the afternoon! Including 7 or 8 different bucks. I think I posted about it in my journal from last year. I will have to check. Of course, that was during the rut but still, it is an excellent location.
