Title: Timing is everything
Post by: zelmo1 on October 03, 2025, 05:40:58 AM
So my timing sux. Tore my meniscus and hamstring just before hunting season. Surgery in 2 weeks and 3-5 month rehab. That will be cutting it close for Florida next year.   :OGturkeyhead:  Z

Hate to hear it. Good luck with your rehab. I will be having a knee replacement 4 days after I return from NY bow hunting trip. Hope to be healed up and haired over by Turkey season.

Told you that sprinting to get off of posted property was going to get you someday.

Hope you heal fast and are back at it soon

Trust crow on this, that's first person experience talking.

That sounds like it hurt, sorry that happened and hope you heal quick!

Do not know about the hamstring injury but I have had the torn meniscus surgery two or three times and recovery was very short.

Z 1,  Recommend doing rehab.  I tore my meniscus while on a moose hunt in Maine.  I went along as support for a friend who was 79 or 80 at time. I made it through deer season, but got repaired in January and was fairly good in 3 months.  Downhill walking is a bear.
Lots of luck see you in spring turkey season.

Good luck Z with recovery. Quess Mrs. Z will have to fill the freezer with venison!?! I am sure your Fla. trip will be manageable, drive you right to blind with ATV?
