Best of luck and you can make it!
I had a meniscus repair in my late 20s in the spring and made it archery hunting in the fall. Wont rehash what everyone else has said, but PT, PT, PT!
Don't overdo it, but once you are cleared for full movement and weight bearing get out and walk. I found a school track that was rubberized and did countless laps, as initially pavement caused pressure, and trails felt a little unsteady at first.
I took it a little slower on the hunt, but did fine. I did slip on a rock at one point and twisted my knee. It scared me mostly. Once I stood up
And realized everything was fine, the hunt was much better, after that I trusted the knee more than I did the first couple days.
Heal up and go chase those critters!
