    You're a lucky individual! Health first, then family, and THEN hunting. You have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!!

    Hope you get at least one of those bad boys. Take things slow and hopefully you can get out there in time to drop one.

    Wow. I'm glad you're alright. You're doing good to rehab the way you are. Don't do too much at once when you get the green light. Good luck on those bucks!

    Tim, I've wondered where you've been. I am very happy they fixed you up and you have committed to stop smoking. I hope your health improves and you have a great time with your family.
