Heck of a time of year to schedule surgery! I won't be too bad as my recovery should only be 2 weeks. Just in time for the rut here in PA.

Hey Bronk, Hope you're healed up and back at it soon. Tough to be limping around during the Fall time. Prayers your way.

I'll be archery hunting if I have to use a ground blind and crutches to get there. I have a pair of those insulated boot covers that I can put on over the goofy open toed sandal they give you to wear.

I shot an 8 point in 2006 from crutches. Can't get them if you're not in the woods!

I once moose hunted in Canada on crutches. I had a hunt planned, fell a few weeks before my leave date and broke the ankle right off, and broke the fibula bone in the leg. The guide said I should cancel but I went anyway. He laughed all the time, me walking through brush on crutches. But of course when your young a stupid you will try anything..

Quick update - Good news, the biopsy came back benign. I have another surgery to remove on Oct. 13th. And guess what? PA's early ML season starts on the 15th. Guess who'll be out hunting with an overboot and crutches! I just don't think I'll be doing much still hunting though.

No moose that year. Saw cows but no shooter. Still the fishing was real good too.

Great news on the biopsy. And the attitude. Get out there and get them. ATV's are great for dragging them in..
