Yesterday I was diagnosed with tricompartmental osteoarthritis (fancy name for real bad knees) and referred for spine surgery which is causing pain in many other places in my lower body.
I have very little chance of getting anywhere near a public land bull during 3rd season next week.
... BUT 2 years ago I had a checkmate shot, 40 yards, on a nice bull on Wyoming public land and I was just as crippled then as I am now. Unfortunately I was holding a cow tag.
