Now is the time to start loading your pack and carrying it around the neighborhood.  That country has lots of elk, but if you hunt in the best spots you'll need a horse or a strong back and legs.

hows the knee?
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

You would have to ask Jackelope!
I go in next Friday, 2:00pm, Allenmore hospital, they will take a strip of hamstring tendon and fashion a new Anterior cruciate ligament from it and attach it to the knee using drilled anchors. I get a Continual motion machine for my knee on Thursday to immediately start the rehab process.
If I have ever had a reason to make sure I hit the rehab 110% this is the year!
NO PAIN NO GAIN!!!!
I may not be able to climb around in the wilderness but I am going to give it my best shot!

One thing about hunting I learned long ago is that it isn't always fun, but it is rewarding!!!!

Chin up,
Finnman

2. Garlic Gourmet's Garlic Mesquite rub
3. Me with a fork

Good luck with the knee.  Have you checked into other options?  My wife had the hamstring option and she had alot of problems with tightness.  My sister-in-law had tendon from a cadaver and she had no problems.  A friend had the patella tendon option and she has had no problems either.  Just something to chcek into.

Don't worry Finnman,

My wife has had both ACL's done with hamstring and she is still playing soccer. Make sure they give you the ice machine for when you get out. I will circulate ice water from a cooler into a pad you put on you knee, it works great. Stationary bike is the best for range of motion once they let you do that.

Good luck!

A couple factors played in for the Tikka over the A-bolt, weight,price,barrel length,accuracy!
Not necessarily in that order.

I had the tendon operation to repair an ACL in '94.  I had a permit for Montana that fall.  The operation was in July and I was hunting in November.  About 80% strength, though the goal of going hunting was a great motivator.  My advise is to not get too over zealous in your recovery training.

 :bow: ......  And best of luck on your upcoming surgery! I agree with hunterofelk, follow your rehab routine, but don't over do it or "get too over zealous!" Keep us posted!

Finnman- I had the same surgery about 6-7 years ago. It took me quite a while to heal.  Be careful, I started feeling better and re-injured my hamstring where they took the graph from,  which slowed my healing even more.You will lose a lot of muscle in that leg from not using it. As far as hunting you are gonna be one sore cat. I don't mean to discourage you I just know what you will be going through for the next little while. Hopefully you have some other mode of transportation to get you around the hills. Good Luck with the surgery send me a pm if you have any questions I can help with.
