I have felt it coming on for a while and a few weeks ago was diagnosed with sciatica - pretty painful. 10 years ago I was running marathons but today I can't walk but a couple hundred yards without stopping to let the pain subside. The doctors have been experimenting with one thing and then another. I hope that perhaps I can get a shot of cortizone (or something like it) before the hunt. If nothing works then maybe I can follow the lake shoreline with my kayak and catch elk when they come to water. I'm not sure I can learn to sit still for long periods.
