Fall season now officially a write off

Took a nasty fall down a ravine on Oct 01 and it has now officially ended my 2021 season. Knackered both my knee and ankle and it took me 2.5 hours to cover what is normally a 15 minute walk to my truck. Ankle has more or less recovered but my knee somehow become infected and went septic. Now on IV antibiotics to be followed by surgery. Hopefully will be able to do some ice fishing when the time comes.

Good luck to all of you out there and please post your tales as i will be living vicariously. This will be the first season i have not filled deer tags since 1982. Going to have to start rationing my meat stocks to make it another full year. Fortunately last season was good to me with 4 deer and 3 bears between me and my boys so with a bit of planning we should make it without running out.

Get well soon!!

That is tough! Most of my hunting places are covered in ravines. Take a new path across the property, find a new ravine. Some are a few inches, some are a couple of feet, and some are a few yards deep.

I have had my share of ravine falls. I feel for you. Heal well!!!

dang!! ill be praying for a quick recovery!

Prayers that you get well soon and completely.

Prayers that all goes well.

Heal up ! And good luck with the recovery.

Sorry to hear your troubles. Going to miss your stories and pics. Hoping for a full recovery. I was on IV antibiotics earlier this year...not fun.

Prayers for a speedy recovery 🙏

Dang the bad luck. Hopefully you will get the infection behind you and the surgery on your knee won't be as bad as they are thinking. So glad you were able to get back to your truck, where you hunt that could have been really bad. Prayers heading your way.

I too am glad you made it to the truck. We've been living vicariously through your posts for a while now. Rest and take care of yourself. You'll be back out there in due time.

Wow
Very sorry to hear this and wishing you the best

Get well soon

I'll out put this is in the category of "Dammit to Heck". You get better. Sorry to hear about it, but will be made glad when you are all you again.

Get better soon sir

Hope you're able to get back to 100% before too long.

Right now it looks like a season filled with unusually warm weather so that if you have to miss one, this will be a good one for that.

X2. Sorry to hear about your fall. Hope you get to ice fish.

Tough break brother. Wish you a full recovery.

Dang Hirogen…that sucks. I hope you start feeling better soon!

Prayers up brother. Remember where there's a will, there's a way. I was worried about my season, after biceps tendon and UCL surgery in June. Long rehab, up t0 10 pounds with the right hand now, ... filled feeders and shotgun hunted this weekend.... no way to pull a bow or crossbow.... ready to try rifle fire this week and see where we are at.... hang in there you might get some hunts in

I'm sorry for you. Prayers up.

Good luck with your recovery!!
