Covid before deer camp
« on: October 14, 2021, 05:45:49 PM »
Got home from muzzleloader elk to sick wife and coughing kids  I start hammering vitamins and liquids  she assures me she’s fine Tuesday I’m cooking  go to season some meats and she goes I can’t smell that I automatically say wtf , she takes a test from work positive ( i still feel like a million dollars ) I take boys and into Kaiser for quick test , start the calls to let everyone know I can come . We have some elderly in camp . I talk to my brother on the phone that night and he is telling me to just hunt alone I tell him I probably will hang up within a half hour I feel like a bag crap , tests comes in wens for us all we have it I’m way off then them at this point kids are running hot laps around the house and momma is feeling better

Just want anyone who thinks about skipping a year or feels doubtful about going . GO  you never know how many camps are left my father missed last year Amd my brother and I hated it. And 2 of the guys in our camp are 79 and 80 hard to know when there last year will be .cherish every moment this season everyone

My opening day got screwed up also by the vid.  Super tired and feeling just plain crappy.  Good advice about now skipping a year, I almost skipped last year.  Don’t know if I can even go this year..

Covid before deer camp

I had the vid also and the best advice I got was to be up and moving even when you feel like crap. For goodness sakes don’t just lay in bed! If you have to, keep rotating your body. Lay for a while on your back and then your side etc. Everyone I’ve known that just layed there had far worse complications. Good luck!

If you have COVID…..for god sakes stay home and don’t spread it.   It’s worth missing a hunt to keep others safe, especially the old guys at camp.   

Hope you feel better soon, stay home and rest.   You can always hunt the late season.  :tup:

I had it in August and I get the feeling of not wanting to miss a season but if it were me, I would stay home and rest. Last thing you would want is to have a complication while out in the hills or even just not let your body recover fully so you end up with lasting symptoms. I know for me, after covid my allergies are much worse and I have sinus headaches more often then I ever have.

My buddy's dad came within an inch of losing his life to Covid. My brother ended up caring for him in the hospital. You don't want to spread it to the elderly. To each his own but be safe about it. Best of luck to you

Take care of your body. There will be other hunting seasons. Get well soon. :tup:

For no other reason than curiosity….not judging or looking for a debate…..for those getting COVID, where you vaccinated or not?
