Took the kayak to the river near my house this morning. Fish were biting like crazy . Caught 15 smallies or so then broke off my grub i was using. Well i forgot my takle bag so i paddle back to the landing to get it. Got to the truck and tied on another lure and got back to the river bank wheee i. Slipped on the muddy bank and broke the small bone in my leg. Had to crawl back to the truck to get my phone with my foot just flopping around. They put it in a fiberglass splint until sometime this week. They say its going to need screws and plates .
Heal up soon, take care of that leg so it doesn't affect you too much later in life.
Hope it's all better by hunting season.
Good luck with it..

Bummer. Wife is starting to get ticked when I head solo to remote areas for extended trips. I point out that she'd have to deal with a really pissed off hubby for many more days if I stayed home. Also, that I did not get this old by being careless.
Got a solo pronghorn hunt coming up this next weekend and plans are to be completely out of touch for 8 days.
With no help available, it pays to be as safety conscious as possible.
By the time you're healed, perhaps you can tell us which of the evils we should be voting for.
Thanks guys , its the out of work for weeks right before hunting season that i hate . Now i want the operation over with so can get well. I learned long to listen to the doc when you break a bone.
get well, take your clacium to grow new bones, my wife likes the Alive brand for the extras they put in it, and she has had to grow lots of new ones.
Off OP, I am jealous of antelope for any amount of time, especially in a place where you can be alone. Didn't draw again this year. As to getting hurt, someone will find and help you.
I can relate to you. June 12 I was coming out of the boat onto the bulkhead. All was good until my left foot hit the grass. The left sandal broke, causing my left leg to shoot out. My right toes bent up toward my knee. This cracked the small bone in my leg. It tore the ligaments in my ankle also. A nice man backed my truck and trailor into lake. He helped wifey get the boat loaded. At least I wasnt alone. Had to wait ten days for surgery. That was 6 weeks yesterday. Cast comes off Monday. I'm ready to go back to work. It has been a crummy summer. We were supposed to be in Mexico for 40 wedding anniversary this last week. Lost 700.00 airfare. By the time you add this all up,it will be a 10,000 foul up. I should be OK by hunting season. Good luck!! I know that hurt. Mine did.
Damn! Sorry!!! That is a bummer. Hoping you have a speedy recovery
