    I am off to a bad year with injuries already. A few mornings ago I was climbing into a fixed hang on set and busted my knee cap on the peg pretty good. I'm also starting to see effects of Tendinitis on my right elbow which I fractured two seasons ago and never let heal.:confused: Anyone else suffer any injuries yet this year? Here is the knee-

    Sorry to hear about the knee. I cracked a rib on my LW hand climber. It was 10 days ago and still hurts like hell.

    Oh man. Hunting related injuries are tough to take, but I always look at them as badges of honor. I've never been injured while getting into, getting out of, or while sitting in the stand (knock on wood).

    However, I do have quite a few thorn scars on my elbows, wrists, and legs. I guess a little too much walking through the thick stuff during the season and off season while scouting.

    I think a few scars are part of the hunting experience. =)

    If they aren't too serious that is.
