:banghead: well, I guess my hunting season has come to a halt for 2011, as yesterday evening, I was returning home from an uneventful sit at a stand not far from my house, when right at the edge of my yard, the unexpected happened! My foot sliped on the soft,wet ground and down I went cleanly breaking the lower left leg :( I've been vegging on the couch today waiting for the swelling to go down and tomorrow, I'll be getting the dreaded cast. Guess I'll have plenty of time to catch up on my reading :coffee: I should have shot the plump doe last week :biglaugh:
Dang! Sorry to hear it. Hope you heal quickly.
I'm there with you for the next several weeks. SI joint injury in my lower back last Friday. Looks like I will be back in the game before you though. Heal up and get back out when you can. Sorry to hear it.
Thanks Bud, it can happen faster than you can say %$&*@! :biglaugh:
Awwwww man that sucks. I hear ya though, messed up my elbow good. I'm not out but limited. Hope you at least get some relax time....sharpen some knives and broadheads, oil some leather, etc.
You'll be warm!
Hate to hear that, Get well soon.
Get well soon!
Dang it, too bad buddy. Get well soon.
Thanks a bunch guys, My wife was wondering if I could still put up that shelf in the bathroom :biglaugh:
Sorry to hear this. Heal-up quick!
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Hope you have a quick recovery.
that just sux. sry
Wow! I am very sorry to hear this.
I pray that it heals quickly and completely without any complications.
God bless,Mudd
PS: If there is an up side.. it's that you have a great excuse for not going shopping.
Have the Doc put a "stalking cast" on it.
All the best towards a quick recovery.
Think ground blind...
Heal quick, man!
Hope you have a swift recovery! I wouldn't say your season is over though I have a friend who broke his leg one year so he just hunted from a groundblind.
Give it a few days to start feeling better and try a ground blind. I had to do the same thing when I was younger. On the other hand if you can make it to the woods that shelf in the bathroom will be a piece of cake. :biglaugh: Good luck on speedy recovery
Get well soon!!
Sorry to hear of the break.
Hope you heal quickly and completly.
Let me be the first to sign the cast. "Pepper"
Via con Dios
That is a truly bad experience. Please accept my condolences and best wishes for aspeedy recovery.

That's not any good. Take care and get better quick.
Dang George, Hope you recover quick and are able to work. Yeah like Charlie says, better go with the camo cast. Shoot set you up a blind that you can crutch to. Were there's a will there's a way brother.
Thanks Guys, Charlie that "stalking cast" is a great idea :campfire:
mongoose, I've been having my worst season in a long...long time, then I read this. I have nothing to complain about now. At least I can still get a couple more days of hunting in. The season will end early for me this year due to some scheduled surgery the end of December.
Keep your sense of humor and get well soon!
Hey, atleast it wasn't your arm. Let the pain go away and then set up a ground blind close to home. Hoble out there, sit down on a bucket and shoot the plump doe. Just line up help to drag it out and watch out for that last step, its a doosie. Good luck
I am sure you can hunt with a broken leg. I hunted a day after having knee surgery. Doctor wasn't happy but I was!! I had to use cruthes to get into and out of woods, but I managed! Shawn
oh that sucks!
To a quick recovery!
Wishing you a speedy recovery. I'm with the rest a ground blind is looking better all the time. Good luck.
Sorry to hear, get well soon!!

As Charlie suggested, have the Doc put on a stalking cast. In 1990 I had a crushed heel and managed to kill my biggest elk after hobbling in over a mile on crutches. Now getting it out was another story; thank god for a truly good brother. Limitations are often what you make of them, the crutches forced me to go slow, select, and then stay in my favorite ambush spot.
Sorry to hear that!
My season ended October 4 with a BAD bicycle accident - three broken bones in the skull, nose and eye socket. Left shoulder severely bruised - just now am able to shoot a few arrows with 36# limbs on a target bow.
