My season looks like it's over before it even gets started. In hospital waiting to be released after having triple bypass surgery this past Friday .
Oh man sorry to hear that. I know it sucks, I have had medical reasons I could not hunt but just take your time, heal up and live to hunt another season. Prayers.
Steve, So sorry to hear this, my brother. Get healed up quickly and correctly. Your notes to me last year during my surgeries were much needed encouragements.

I'm sorry to hear that but there's still hope. Take your time and listen to the doc. You'll be back out there in no time.
Best of luck with recovery.. I know a few folks that has the same and Thu seem to bounce back very quik after surgery.dint give up yet.
Sorry to hear about the unfortunate surgery and recovery period during your 2018 Turkey season. The silver lining is the doctors have caught this before you experienced a heart attack or worse. Take this season to completely recover and look forward to many, many more ahead. Think: Lose 1 season, gain 20 more!! Prayers for a COMPLETE recovery.
Best wishes on your recovery. I have had to compromise a season before it sucked. When is your season, will you be able to heal enough to try a blind hunt, if you can get to a field. I would try and think of something. Maybe a crossbow on a stand. Or at least go and watch a hunt, never give up. I hunted one year with a shattered elbow and a full arm cast/brace on my right arm. I learned to shoot left handed off a shooting stick. I missed two birds and killed the third, it was one of my proudest hunts in 45 years.
The good news is that you will have plenty of time to be in shape for many more seasons to come if you take care of yourself.
I almost waited too late a few years ago. Do not and I repeat , DO NOT push the envelope on trying out a gun, bow, golf club, or even casting until they say
it is O. K .
I hope you recover quickly and have many seasons ahead because of the procedure.
I am the old RAJ by the way.
Best wishes for a quick recovery. Heading for the treadmill now!
I hope you get to feeling better soon. I remember something a buddy of mine told me when I was in the hospital recovering from some severe injuries that might help you. "The light at the end of the tunnel is not necessarily a train coming...baby steps, man." My injuries were significant enough that I didn't have the doctor's clearance to shoot a firearm for 9 months after the injuries. The next time I got the chance to hunt was Opening Day the following year and I tagged a nice gobbler. I haven't slowed down since. Even though you may not get the chance to hunt this year, you'll have amazing desire to go next year. Concentrate on rebuilding you strength so you are good to go when you can.

I'm sorry to hear that but there's still hope. Take your time and listen to the doc. You'll be back out there in no time.
Heal up brother, if you miss your season you can come up north and hunt Maine or NH. Maine season runs till June 2nd. Listen to the Doc and rest up. Al Baker
Well let me borrow your license and give me some GPS coordinates and I'll see about getting you some turkey meat. :funnyturkey:
Just kidding, glad to hear you got that fixed before it ended all your seasons! Get well soon. :icon_thumright:
Rest up and get better. Will miss you on the team this year. The benefits here will definitely outweigh the negatives in the long run. I know you won't be able to shoot,but any chance you could get in a couple close hunts to home where you could maybe go with someone else and just enjoy the day? Not the same as pulling the trigger but it might help alleviate the thought of missing out all together.
Sorry to hear that, get well soon brother
Hate to hear this!!!! Take care of yourself and keep us posted on recovery!

Look at it this way: you are still above ground and you have further seasons to look forward too. PS... Listen to you doctors and follow their advice and instructions.
Steve, Wishing you a fast and complete recovery!
Hate to hear this, hope you are well soon my Ms. Brother!
Get well soon friend!!
