Hunting season over due to Snow... UPDATE!! 1/8/13

[birddog1520]

I was hoping to get a little more hunting in with my axiom and maybe a couple of days with the flintlock during Pa's late season but while walking to my plow truck yesterday to keep the roads open during the snow storm I slipped on some snow covered ice and dislocated my knee cap and maybe have some internal damage to the knee itself. The first open appointment the Orthopedic Surgeon has is 2 weeks away and the season will be just about over by then.Plus I may be down for quite awhile so I get to spend some quality time on the hunting sites now.

Thanks for letting me vent some.

I saw the Orthopedic Surgeon today 1/8/ 13 The diagnosis is a torn quadriceps tendon surgery is tomorrow Doc does'nt want the tendon to retract any farther, he said recovery time is about 6 months. I'm gonna try to shorten that if I can with hard work cause I don't want to miss spring gobbler,but if I can't there is always next year. Oh yea and I want to get back to work faster Too!!!

Sorry to hear.
Get well soon
you could always see if they make a 4x4 hovaround
or find a few kids that could carry you out to hunt.

Sorry to hear your season ended in such a painful way. Hope the knee isn't too badly damaged.

Best wishes on a speedy recovery!

Sorry to hear hope you get better. I'm in the same boat busted my knee up over a year ago and the deep snow just won't cut it. Best to rest it and wait it out. Good Luck.

Call the PA Game Comm. they just might be able to give you a permit to hunt out of a truck. Thats if you can prove your are that hurt.MRI X RAYS. If i was you i would at least try.
