Done for the season
 

Not because of a filled tag though. Unfortunately because of a torn ligament in my right foot just below my ankle. Even with an ankle brace and boot it makes walking on uneven terrain very painful. So I guess I'll have to quit with 2 unfilled tags. Its OK though because I got 2 this year, a buck in archery and a doe in the early ML season.
Wednesday it's off to Florida to spend the winter.

Clem, just lay on the beach and have the wife bring you drinks. :biggrin:

Doesn't sound fun Clem. Something they say will heal up on its own or will you have to have surgery?

Sorry to hear this. Sounds like a you had a good season though.

sounds very painful. but enjoy florida

That's too bad, at least you have some nice weather to recover in!

Damn Clem, sorry to hear that. I hope the recovery is quick and complete. How the heck did you tear it?

Man sorry to hear that, I hope it heals quickly for you.

Hope you have a fast recovery and Venison in the freezer is always good.

Bronko, I ruptured my Achilles on 4 Dec. and had surgery on 24 Dec. After surgery I had a cast that hurt my foot and leg so the Dr. removed part of the cast to alleviate the pressure. After two weeks I was put in a stabilizer boot and cannot put weight on my foot as directed by the Dr. I see the Dr. next week and I think he is going to let me start PT in a pool. I still have swelling in my foot and the calf muscle is slightly sore and losing muscle. Overall, there hasn't been much pain beyond the initial pain with the cast. Cannot wait to get started. Turkey season starts in April. Good luck.

Good news. My foot feels great. After wearing the ankle brace for about 6 weeks it appears my ligament has either healed itself or strengthened up enough that there is no longer any pain in it. Bad new is that hunting season is now over and I'm in FL and my wife has me doing all sorts of work outside. So far I've put in about 150' of those 16" concrete edgers around the house then put down weed barrier and mulch. I also laid down exactly 200 16"x16" concrete pavers making a 48" walkway down both sides of the house! Normally just pouring the concrete would have been easier (and cheaper had I had to pay for the pavers). But my lovely wife found some 25 miles away that was giving them away so we made a couple trips with our utility trailer and picked them all up. Lowes is selling them for $3.98 each. So we got $800 in pavers for just the price of gas to drive 100 miles (2 trips). Oh yea, and all the mulch we got, about 6 trailer loads we also got for free locally. I wish she could find deals on guns like that for me!
Because of this work plus walking the dog in the evenings I lost 7 lbs which doesn't hurt in the continued healing of my foot.

Clem, don't overdo it and be careful it may be a plot of your wife to get you to do more Honeydo things! :biggrin:

That is good news Clem. But you'd better check, I think your wife traded one of your guns for those pavers..

Ed, that is a never ending list so I just do what I can/want.
Van, You think I'm crazy? She doesn't have the combo to the safe. I only gave that to my grandson!

Oh it is so precious that you think she doesn't know the combo. Haven't you learned yet? Women know ALL!
