OH MY WI!!! I also thought you were going to be posting good news...[&o] That's a terrible thing to hear (and feel). Even so it sure is great that your boy was there to get you out. He definitely is a hero. Can't imagine sitting out there all day not being able to move. Gives me shivers thinking about it.
Perhaps you might be healed up enough to get back out there. If you lived near here we could park you in our 'mud' room with full view of the woods. We could give you the electric heater, blanket and rifle... I wish you a speedy recovery...

Well thanks to the rut starting, I got myself a nice heavy doe today at 10 a.m. I was feeling a little bored and discouraged because I hadn't seen anything all morning. I moved from one location to another and sat down in this log pile (has a place that you can sit and lean back like in a recliner). I was also contemplating shooting a squirrel out of boredom. I could here the turky hunters blasting away all over in the distance. Suddenly I look up to see a deer coming thru some heavy stuff. At first I thought it was a buttonbuck but then she came into the open at about 10-15 yards. Nice full-size doe complete with tongue hanging out and heavy breathing. She looked at me and then looked behind her - there was a buck coming thru the brush. I had to make a quick decision on doe or buck. I looked at the buck but it appeared he was only a 6 point (not legal here). So I turned back to her and she was passing to my left. I drew the bow back and let the arrow fly. She went only 15-20 yards then wobbled and fell over dead. So then the buck turns to follow her. He hung around for almost a half hour going in circles around her. Then he left and came back again. It gave me a chance to check him out with my binoculars. Turns out he was a 7 point. He'll be around again as I know where he's been bedding. I did see a nice 8 point yesterday morning and evening. The action is getting hot here so next week is going to be great.

P.S. I couldn't find my arrow, as it must be buried in the leaves....

Dog-gone it WI, I feel bad for ya!!![&o][&o][&o]
