Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting CO 1st season elk already over for me.

You could have done that 3 months ago and your season would be over!

Good luck on the healing process. That looks nasty.

Oh hell, don't let a little thing like that stop you from elk hunting.







Speedy recovery. Glad it wasn't your neck!

Sorry to hear that. I about hurt myself twice two weeks ago trying to get everything ready for when I leave for CO.

I start the 24 hr drive tomorrow, and will do so with further appreciation that I am healthy enough to go. Good luck getting a replacement tag and/or points back.

Good luck and kill a good one!

I have pre-op on Monday and surgery on Thursday, I will keep everyone posted.

Thank you all!

Look on the bright side - it's your leg, not a crushed skull.

Sorry to hear about your accident, hope you have as speedy a recovery as is possible.

And you ruined your pants, too!

Got some new hardware to wear for the next 6-12 weeks. Say hello to roboleg!

That's hard core. Glad you got it over with. Heal well man.

Had the hardware removed on Thursday, and was released from hospital on Saturday afternoon. During surgery the Dr's found I had a nerve running between one of the breaks and it was probably the main cause of the majority of the pain is was feeling these last few weeks. They were able to maneuver the nerve out from between the bones without any further damage to it.

Dr's told my wife that the nerve had sustained some damage but would heal up in 2-3 weeks. However if we had waited another week for surgery the bone probably would have closed up around it. Already the pain is a lot more manageable than before, and there are a lot fewer muscel spasms. Though the did harvest some bone graft and marrow from my right femur as well, so now my whole leg hurts, not just the lower portion.

Damn just Damn !
And thought my Heart Attack was bad that ended my
season this year!

AMRA

Damn.....horses and ladders. I dont like either.

Glad to hear youre on the mend.

I have a new picture of the hardware, it'll be tough at airport security!




I'm amazed the amount of injuries and illness that ended several people's hunting seasons too soon. Hopefully y'all are on the mend and ready for next year.

Damn bud! Get well soon and let's go shoot some yotes

Man I'd love too, though don't know if I'm up to sitting in the cold yet. My daughter's dying to kill a few though.

Get a "mobility impaired" permit and we can drive around, drink coffee and you can shoot em from the truck 😀

I've seriously considered it!

Did you got your points back and a refund?

So, what of your points and a refund?

It's one or the other, not both. Most residents would take the points back if they used any in the license. He had time to get a refund of either, but whether he had someone do it or not, couldn't tell you, just that technically he could have.

He received his points back the day after I visited him in the hospital if my memory serves me correct
