Yep , that's what  I thought it would be. buy and extra and carry in your truck. Kill a nice one !!!

I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra and I couldn't believe how easy it was to change the coil. It took literally 15-20 to take one out and out the new one in. I changed all the coils on my 98' F150 about give years ago and it was a huge pain in the but. I need to get a scanner and a spare and I could easily switch one out.

When I have something go wrong related to hunting or daily life, I remind myself of my buddy who has spent the last 8 months in a nursing home suffering from some serious mobility issues that the doctors can't figure out. He's missed a lot of life and may never hit the turkey woods again, a major inconvenience compared to some minor but irritating mishap that's come my way. Nearing my 80th birthday, I need to keep things in perspective.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Congrats to you on closing in on number 80!  I love to see some of the "more experienced" guys posting on here. I ran into a gentleman on my WMA a couple years ago turkey hunting who was 82 and he had walked way back in there. I thought that was so awesome. Good luck this spring.

There was a time that climbing the hills of Pope County, IL, were not a challenge. Now, my knees remind me to stay on level ground, avoid the run-and-gun method of turkey hunting, and rely more on the sit-and-wait technique, which proved successful earlier in the week with a nice 24# gobbler. I even take a folding lawn chair with me when rabbit hunting, sitting while the beagles do their thing. Having a younger son and friends to help pull deer out of the woods is a nice plus, too. We all learn to make accommodations to be able to continue to do the things we love. "Do unto others as you would have them do to you" has proven to be true.

65 and I am dealing with being diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer November 15 2020,believe me it's been really ruff.But I put it in the lords hands and have fought literally for my life since then.And my faith and love of all things outdoors has been my saving grace.Was paralyzed for 4 months and couldn't even feel my legs and feet,you talking about a depressing time.Wow, but I wouldn't give up and kept excersizing and moving my legs with my hands and just like a miracle the feeling slowly started coming back and I am walking again. Went hunting yesterday opening day in NC and my buddy killed one and I almost got a double with him.the purpose of this response is please don't give up.My cancer doc says if I hadn't worked with my legs everyday and pushed myself I would still be in that———- bed.Wish everyone a great season.

Sometimes Devine intervention takes place to save you from a worse fate. Roll with it and you will be back in action soon. My rig is in the shop as well.

I agree. When it happened I thought "well maybe I'm just not supposed to go today".
