Turn that frown upside down Tax , last year I hunted with a buddy who has one arm and shoots a .50 single shot ML pistol . Take it easy and do your therapy religiously , even though it hurts like crazy . Meanwhile , find somebody to go with you to do the donkey work , and focus on the hunt . It helps if you think of it as just another challenge . I' d go with ya but your gun / hunting laws suck .
