Hey now, even though I like that muzleloardering term quite well, it wasn’t mine. It was Gum Slough’s.
We need to give credit where credit is due.
Yep, he’s presidente material if I’ve ever seen one.

Squirrels were out a lot here behind the house today. Most I’ve seen out at the same time since last fall.
Unless it’s raining at Jim’s place in the morning I’d say he stands a good chance at seeing a few. He said it’s warming up that way.
We are do for a warm up here this week, but with rain. Im going to try and get out Wednesday or Thursday. Thinking I'm taking the New Englander this time.
No!
I haven't shot one squirrel yet!
Season opened October 14th 2023.

Well, one of you can be the Prez, the other Vice Prez. Would be a dream team!
Oh geeze. Not good. I wish him well, LC
I do as I’m supposed to with PT. And this one continues to keep me awake at night. It’s 1:30 A.M. and I’m not awake because I choose to be. It’s been over 5 weeks of this pain and madness. Sometimes I want to just cut my entire leg off due to constant pain. The doctor and PT says everything is fine. Well, they’re going to have to prove it to this ole boy because right now, I ain’t buying it.
With that said, I kind of believe that I may be on the home stretch, in terms of pain. Progress is being made so it can't last forever.
There is no not doing PT with this stuff. It lets me know that it needs to be done now, regardless of time of day or night that might be. With the PT, you gotta hurt yourself more to make yourself feel better.
I can see why some folks might give in and refuse PT with knee replacement.
Also, the pain is worse when lying down than when standing or sitting. Never seen anything like this.

@ETipp I feel your pain. Literally! No knee replacement but a thoroughly broken femur with one end sticking out through the leg. Both ends looked like worn out paint brushes. Could not use it for 6 months by time I could the flexibility was gone! That was 12 years ago and I'm still working on flexibility in that leg. Never going to be all there but almost normal. I was allowed to start walking with a cane in August and hunted elk in September. It's a stretch to call it hunting but it was super inspirational. Got some funny looks and some negative comments
You should have told them the cane wasn't for walking with, it was to tune up people that give funny looks.@ETipp I feel your pain. Literally!

Well, you were still able to get out there and hunt. That’s the main thing. kudos to you, LC, for keeping on going, even if it meant having to use a cane.@ETipp I feel your pain. Literally!

The thought of such gives me incentive to stick with this awful PT regiment. I know that if I can make it out and squirrel hunt at my steep, thick happy hunting grounds by spring squirrel season, then I know I’ll be in good shape overall. I can do this.
Looking like at about 15 weeks until opening of spring squirrel season here. Even though mid May is less than ideal for squirrel hunting here, I plan on being out there.
If the squirrel hunting isn’t good, then I have my beloved flathead fishing to fall back on that’s usually prime at that time.
However, it’s no stretch to say that since I got into squirrel hunting with my Crockett squirrel rifle, everything else he’s taken a back seat. My gosh, how I love it. To the degree that nothing else can compare.
