Last year in ML opening day, I got in a mule rodeo wreck. Cracked rib, compression fracture of spine between my shoulder blades, bruised internal organs, and torn up left leg.

I got back to camp, took some Vicodin and it didn't feel all that bad. Saddled up and hunted Sunday and Monday. Tuesday morning the pain form the cracked rib took hold and I had to go into Craig ER room.

Took some more pain meds, but had to come home Thursday.

This year due to torn tendons in my shoulders, I am probably going to have to sue my 6.5 Swede or 44 mag carbine for elk and the .5 for pronghorn and deer.

ML season is coming up and that is going to be a challenge. I might have to try shooting left handed.

If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
