As I sit here reading of everyone's turkey hunting adventures, my left arm is slung tight in a sling. I've been ordered to my recliner for this years season, and I just can't stand it. Back in January a slip on the ice and a fall onto my left shoulder resulted in two tears to my left rotator cuff. After a long fight with my doctor, who thought I just needed to lift some weights, and then another tussle with workers comp, the surgery was set for April 19th. The stitches came out last Wednesday and I'm thinking it wouldn't really hurt to walk to a field edge, prop my 870 on a monopod and do some calling. I NEED to get out there.

Your health is WAY more important than anything else. That being said, good luck! ;d

I always say that going is more important than getting. Take it slow and enjoy being out.

Tomorrow morning I'm going to walk to one of my stand locatons on a field edge. I can get there without leaving level ground. I can't put my vest on due to this sling, nor can I manipulate my shotgun, but I can at least get out and hear the day come to life. I just hope to hear some gobbles and maybe I can call one into sight.
