Had to have knee surgery one year right at Thanksgiving. Was supposed to be on crutches through the end of January.

Got cabin fever and had my Dad drive me close to our duck hole where I set up with a lawn chair and a twelve gauge. Got a few passing shots in before I fell over in the chair.

The last day of muzzleloader season I pulled myself into a stand and shot the first doe that came out. Things you cannot do: follow a blood trail on crutches while carrying a muzzleloader with no sling.

I ended up having to have another knee surgery a few years later.

Good luck. I hunted one year out of a truck (parked in the woods) because of a similar thing. I think I killed 4 or 5 deer. The only bad part is having to ask someone to drag and skin the things. I try to help people every chance I get for instances like that.

Every camp needs a crazy old bastard that limps around. Why you think God gave you two bones in that part of your leg.....a spare, that's why.

Now get out there and drink some bad whiskey(the crazy dude at the camp usually smells of bad whiskey)


Best of luck.
