LMAO
I BET HE WOULD SAY THE MORE HANDSOME ONE TOO!!
speedy recovery man. I would be stubborn and go. But I'm definitely. "not all there". Your doing the right thing

Probably a wise move. Whitetail season is just around the corner!!! Take care of yourself!  

Take it easy and get healthy and there will be many more seasons to enjoy.
     

Save your strength Barry.

I had a chronic cough associated with a sinus infection. Thought I could hold coughs in when deer hunting as I had already missed 2 weeks.  YEAH RIGHT!  Long story short... No deer that night!

Mighty fine gesture and deal you are offering. My guess is next year Bears look out, Barry is coming back!

Feel better Barry, hope to see you at Denton again.

Dang Barry, I was all set for surgery in the woods.  Now the worst part...I have to tell my nurses that they Can't come to Bear Camp!

Get stronger so you can drag my bear out next year    tippit

Get better soon Barry!

You'll be ready by November!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Bowdoc being a nurse??? That would be sure death and probably a painful one too!    

Get well Barry!!

Glad to hear you are trusting your instincts on this tough decision.  That is also awesome that you are providing someone the opportunity for the hunt of a lifetime!!! Get well soon!!!

The hardest part is the mental stuff, just wanting to be out there. I went through a similar thing ten years ago, when I broke my back and missed a whole bow season. Hang in there Barry, you are truly blessed. The bears will still be there next year...and so will you.  

Take care of yourself and get well soon. You made the right decision and proved all the naysayers wrong; sounds like they owe you one.  

Happy to hear you are on the path to recovery, feeling better, and making good decisions.  Remember that new grandbaby, stick around a while longer and create more memories.

Sometimes the right choice isn't the fun choice.... glad your going about it this way!!

What about all those guys who booked that hunt knowing you would be in camp?

You should send them each $100 out of your pocket back on their hunt.

Haha, Biggie has a point there!  Just kidding, good move Barry, get back to 100%

Up-Top for Uncle Barry.

I wanted to meet Gene anyways!  

Wise move Barry! We all know what hunting means to us, however your health is all you have as we get older. Without your health you'll never enjoy: the many more years of bear hunting left in you and your family and your friends and all the important things in life. I know that you know you have made the right move here it just sucks, we know. Hang in there, do as your Dr.s advise - it's too early to become bear bait!

Dave   great words of wisdom !!

This is tearing me up because I'm feeling stronger every day and honestly feel I could go on this great hunt. bw
