So are friends and cousins. I'll just shoot and get on the Walkie-talkie and call one of them over!!

Great news my friend. but too bad on the timing!! good luck on your hunt.

Well I could likely put it off RA. But to know what it's like tape a marble at the bottom of your foot at the base of the middle toe and try walking on it all day! It's pretty darn uncomfortable even to wear a shoe/sneaker.

My problem is that every year at this time I end up with some affliction. This time it is my lower back pain!!! One of these years I hope to walk into the woods pain free!!!

GL with that!!! I aint walked into the woods "pain free" since my 20's! Gawd gettin old SUCKS!!!

I've had a bad back for years too. But it comes and goes. Several years ago I was bear hunting in NC PA and was lucky enough to shoot a decent boar. My back was doing really well. That is up until I rolled him over to start to dress him out! Then POW - I pulled it out. Both me and the bear laid there for a good hour before I could finally move again. Luckily it was all downhill and when I got close enough I called one of the gang on the radio to come load us both on the truck!

surgery done - all went well. can do everything in 3 days as long as I keep it clean and dry.

Keep it clean? Sound like forum rules. :D

Great news Bronko. Glad you're back in action.

Also it's great that you will be able to do everything. I need that surgery. It's been quite a while since I could do everything. I've always wanted to play the violin. Is that included in everything? :s2:

Definitely. The piano too.

wow good news it not cancer, best of luck give it hell ....ed
