That sucks about your back. I didn't break mine but I have a lot of other problems. I have surgery set for November second. They're going to fuse five vertebrae, I'm getting plates bolted to the front of my spine and rods down the back. They're going to start at L3 and go down to S2, S1 and S2 aren't fused like a normal person so my body grew a rudimentary disk between the two. It ruptured and it's pressing on my spinal cord. No hunting for me this year.
