Went hunting with full blown pneumonia six years ago. Killed a 210# ten pointer two weeks into the curse and the next day killed a 275 # eight pointer! both of which I had to load into my truck alone. I never knew it would make me so weak. I had to get a friend to help me with the second buck.

Elk hunted last year with the remnants of a horrific mold infection in my lungs.

Like the OP, I chose to hunt and won't stop for the minor aches and pains!


You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.
