First I hope you get better soon. I know what you're going through  though not as bad. My lower back at my waist has been giving me fits these past weeks. Hurts worse when I was just standing, but wasn't bad when bending over, sitting or sleeping.  Not sure how that happened either. 🙄🤔
Second great story and congratulations  on a really nice buck!🦌👍👊

That's an awesome story and a beast of a buck!! Congratulations

Great looking buck, congratulations 👍  I just hope you get to feeling better soon, sounds like you have the right people around you to help and I am sure your son will always be there for you.

@Brian Long thank you!  I am blessed with some good boys!

Praying healing , congratulations on a nice buck !

Getting into a stand this fall was difficult and I used it the few times I got out just to breathe deep. Opening week of rifle, Jim was in the hospital in Lexington. Two nights before, I have no idea how, but I put my back out: like…people have had to "help dress me, reach down for things, take me to the chiropractor and carry my gear to the stand" out. Today I felt like I could at least sit in one of the #redneckblinds close to the house for a few hours. Jim took me out and carried everything up into the blind for me around 3pm.  I was using my #be1blackout #heatedvest basically as a heating pad to keep from locking up. I had my 30-30 resting on a trigger stick because lifting it wasn't going to work and I waited for "primetime".  Can't even tell you the time, but I saw her walk out of the tall, yellow grass and then a minute or two later HE did! The side that was facing me was missing a tine, so it looked as though he only had one side. I was trying to glass him and the weeds were getting in the way and then a "bambi" walked out from another direction and he made a circle and turned broadside the other way and I was like "Hello!"  I waited for him to give me a shot, he did and I took it....he flinched, but didn't move. In fact, none of the deer moved. He looked completely unconcerned that I shot him... (scratching my head). So, I lifted the gun off the rest and levered in another round. No reaction from anyone out in the field. I waited. He nonchalantly went back to munching and gave me another shot. This time he jumped and took off nose down, headed for the tree line. I heard a crash, but honestly, wasn't too confident that I made a good shot after that first one. So, when Jim called, I told him to wait because other deer--another young buck--had come into the clearing. Finally, at dark, Jim came out and we found good blood within 5 yards of where I told him that buck was when I shot him. Adreneline and downhill momentum took him 40 yards, but he was taking a "dead run".  Ended up that Jim and Ethan went and got him and brought him back to the house and...just like old times, Ethan took the pics for me! I'm not sure which was sweeter: success or having my son home again to be a part of it all…so I'll just say BOTH! This morning I still can't put socks on by myself, but I didn't have to worry because Nathaniel helped me ;)  #GODisgood #blessed #family #farmlife #fieldtofork #fillingthefreezer #huntKY #scentlok #provendeadly #be1blackout #huntingwithHECS #carbomask #mossyoak #mossyoakprostaff #vortex #redneckhuntingblinds #remingtoncorelokt #tactacam
