achy knee again

Just hasn't been a good spring for me since my fall off the ladder. Hadn't got my limit and especially haven't been able to take kids hunting except youth weekend. My knee finally stopped aching this week so decided to give it a whirl this morning. Got on a hot bird that probably gobbled over 100 times. gave him some tough love treatment with a Mann made box. pulled the trigger at 7:40. Bird had 1 1/8 spurs, 20 1/2 pounds, and 10 inch beard. 12gauge 2 3/4 #6's. Course by the time I walked out my knee was throbbing. Back to the ice and advils.

Congrats! I'd take the pain for a good bird like that. Hope your knee feels better soon. Maybe a little Rare Breed would take the edge off?

Joe, that's good news. File this article away for future reference. It was published earlier this month and has some interesting observations and findings about some types of knee surgeries and what they can and can't do. I jammed my knee two bird seasons ago and went to an orthopedist who no longer did surgery because of his age. I didn't want some young hotshot thinking he needed to operate. Glad I had a conservative course of treatment without surgery. No problems since.
