Well I'm really bummed and mad at myself. I went out yesterdat and saw one of the biggest bucks of my life. I couln't believe he survived gun season. I wasn't able to go hunting today because I had a family christmas get together. I was really hoping to go tomorrow but I guess it wasn't meant to be. In the process of throwing around a football today I somehow managed to break my pinky on my right hand. And due to the fact that it is in a splint there is no way I can draw my bow. And thats not the worst of it. The ER doctor was almost sure that I tore tendon/muscle or whatever allows you to bend your finger. And the only way to fix it is to have it operated on. So the rest of my season is shot. I'm really hoping that I don't have to have the surgery and I'm praying for a quick recovery. I'll try to post a picture of the X-ray tomorrow if I can.

I added pictures of my finger on page 2.

Sorry to hear that, but at least it didnt happen right before the season started! Also, you know that a big guy made it past the orange army so thats another good thing.

wow that is a BUMMER! Thats one of those things you just have to sorta go with the flow about not much you can do. Sorry to hear about that buddy Get Better soon.

Ryan.

dam dude sorry that is a drag !!! well start planning on next year get the trail cameras going and track the deer in that area !!! once your pinky is better, start shooting like mad !!! well.......good luck hope you dont have to have the surgery!

Well at least you know there is a bruiser roaming around that will be bigger and badder next season (assuming he makes it through the winter). Too bad about your finger. Get well.

Ronnie Lott cut the tip of his pinky off to play ball, Man up and go hunt, pain is transient but a mount on the wall is forever!

That is tough. Hope you recover quickly.

That sucks!!! Hopefully you can get on him next year!

Good luck getting your finger healed.

If he is big he has survived a few of them.

Do you use your pinky finger drawing a bow? I think I'd try it. I shoot longbows and compounds and don't use that finger for either.

Of course I'm not the one hurt. I love to get out anytime I can. I think even if I had to take a camera I would go.
