Sick...Do you hunt?
So I've been battling something (I think it's the flu) since Sunday. It sidelined my hunting last night (not Monday, though), and I'm still not great today (still have chills and aches). However, the forecast is decent today, and crappy as the week concludes. Today may be the best day weather wise for the rest of the week. Assuming you're not deathly ill, do you guys still hunt or stay home?

With the best hunting still ahead of me I'd probably sacrifice a few days now to get rid of it. If it was Nov.1 I'd have to hunt on. There's nothing worse than getting sick during hunting season. Take care of it.

Last year,I was getting ready for the rut,and I needed to go out and move a couple of stands. It was the day before I was going to be able to hunt the whole weekend. I was not feeling all that well, very dizzy,and very short of breath. But I "had" to get those stands moved. I had to stop and sit down aboout every 5 minnutes or so. Anyways, I got done, and made it home. I was pissed because I was way to sick to hunt the weekend. Monday I ended upin the ER, and ended up spending a week in the hospital with bleeding ulcers, (2 of the 10 they found were bleeding)Ended up having a blood transfusion, I was 2 leters low. I kept telling the Dr's every day,that I HAD to get out,becuse I was missing the rut. Dont think the bought it.
