Help Support Long Range Hunting Forum
Craig posted a picture of a buck that he shot on a hunting trip that ended up in a pool of deep water. He had to call his son to help get it out of the water. I guess that I just enjoyed that blooper a little too much. He claims that he shot the buck, but there was no witness.
Been there done that! Highly effective!Drowning?!!! That's a technique I've never tried!
Glad to see you are doing well. Take it slow. Be careful with therapy. I had an overzealous therapist put me back in the hospital on a previous surgery so I asked my Doc if I could do my own therapy on my time and at my pace. She had no problem with that and everything worked out fine. Only you know your limits. The absolute hardest thing for a man to accept is that he now has limits and cannot do all the things he could do before. That's a hard pill to swallow.So little update. I am now walking at least 1,000 yds in my driveway. Luckily its 49 yds long but with extra width the turn around gives me full 50 yds each way. So one full round trip is 100yds which is cool. I try to do 6-7 round trips in morning and fill in balance to get me 1,000 yds. So far, zero pain, just need time to build strength back up. Freaking amazing how fast your muscles atrophied from 25 days in hospital even with their PT. But it is so cool to see and feel your strength build each day. I generally walk around house without walker but as extra caution bought a Sasquatch sized one for outside that works great. I see spine doc next Thursday prob final close out along with PT scheduling. Starting in therapy pool then to machines.
Already looking at it as portable blind wrapped in camo. Can see nice swivel gun support or x-bow support!
So took some time to build up strength and enough stamina to get things a working but I see me sitting in woods opening of bow! I have son and friends ready to pull critters out. They have been doing it for years for me, Yes, I am blessed with one hellava son that takes real good care of me knowing my physical limitations. Plus friends that pitch in as well. Just so blessed.
Spot on, therapist did some serious damage to my hip flexor while in hospital. I stopped her on next day and told her what I would do. Still fighting hip flexor 3+ weeks later. Sent note to spine doc and he stopped their over zealous approach. You really have to be your own health advocate. Be prepared to take over your treatment if you get gut feel its going wrong. And don't back down.
Bone stimulator?! What does that entail???Ok, let the fun begin! I am now using a BONE stimulator. Let's see if this can stay in lane?
L2-L5 Lumbar Fusion. Surgery went perfect. Post has been fun.
A therapist used one of those on my arm after surgery. As I remember it made the muscles in the area feel like they balled up. That one looks different, but mine was 24 years ago.Spinalogic | Enovis

Sends current into bone to stimulate new bone growth.
Been there too. Several years back I shot a buck chasing a doe and he ran about 75 yards and jumped into a rapid running flooded creek never to be seen again! One of the reasons I shoot for shoulders.
It goes better when you lubricate the bones with 1 shot tequila perOk, let the fun begin! I am now using a BONE stimulator. Let's see if this can stay in lane?
A little sweet honey. Or was that a sweet little honey?
I knew I could count on you!!
