well you still have late season, right? I've had bad luck too, but man yours is pretty bad. If your hunting late season then i hope you get an elk

I hope your next hunt goes way better. The afternoon i took my muley. A Doe slammed into my car while heading up the hill towards town. $2000.00 in damge. Thank goodness for car insurance!. I told myself that i was gonna kill a buck in the afternoon for payback.

You're 24 years old (according to the info by you're name) - unless you've been injured at some point, just suck it up on the back pain.  If you do hunt late hunt, get a cot or air mattress or something.

The rest of the hunt sounds alright - about how bow hunting goes a lot of the time.  You got really close to the cow, saw some critters...a good hunt.

The car thing - yeah, that's bad luck.  I feel for you on that.

ya my back is kinda jacked up from doing construction work and just my lifestyle really which isnt good. took up 2 air mattresses and both had holes so next time gettin foam mattress haha.. but ya other than that great expierence wth that elk i almost had. most impressive thing ive expierenced in years. car thing well means to up grade to a truck which i need since im not driving to portland or seattle much these days haha.. thinkin bout wheelin my car

If you did not get hurt in the car accident you are fortunate. An injury would be laying you up for other things also. Feel relieved you are OK.

Too bad about the first half, but hey, still have late season!

exactly! we slept under the starts in colville forest last weekend. at least, for about an hour, until a heard of cattle came through... last thing I need is to get my brained stepped on while I sleep. I HATE cattle.

If you are in your 20s and have back pain a lot, construction, my best guess is to mind your posture better when lifting.  Almost everybody has bad posture all day long, partially because a little bit of a slouch is a body gesture representing submission.  People with chest out, chin up look bossy.

For a long time I had my doubts about chiropractors.  General practice doctors would say that they are quacks, and some of them push the alternative medicine thing pretty hard, so me and my wife referred to them as witch doctors for a long time.  Dr. Kaasa in North Bend changed my mind about back and neck pain.  After being stubborn about the pain, letting it slowly go away over a two month period, he had it gone for good after a few minutes of what looks and sounds like torture, charged me $36.  Still call them witch doctors though.

Bummer about the collision.  We had one this summer, probably saved the guy's life.  He was flying down the mountain, we met on a sharp corner.  He put his rig into a skid when he saw us, our car brought him to a stop.  Fortunate not to put my family over the 400 foot cliff on our side of the road.  That turned out to be expensive and the agents are still quarrelling about how to settle.

You say $36?  That's awesome.  I F'ed my back up in Iraq and it still hurts when I work out, but for $40 and a few minutes of misery I'm game to try anything....well... almost anything.
