You all know who I'm talking about? Hope everything is OK. As jacked as he was about coyotes I can't imagine him quitting cold turkey.

I talked to him a while back. He was in pretty rough shape.
Talked to his wife a couple weeks ago. She said he was still pretty rough.
I really don't think it's my place to go into his condition he seems pretty private.

Agreed. He always had great posts. Give him my best!:yeah:

He is getting better and will be going home soon. He was pleasantly suprised to hear of all the well wishing.
Sounds like he should be back posting on the boards soon.

Kinda funny- just wonder what he (Ivar) will think when he sees the title of this thread. :chuckle:
Yep, may have to do a name change... :chuckle:
Adna, thanks for the info. I really enjoy his enthusiasm as he experiments with his new found sport.

:tup: Hope to hear from him soon. Let this be a lesson to you Hosers, if anything happens to you or you get in a bind, let us know. Pretty cool safety net of gentleman and ladies on here willing to help. As simple as shoveling snow to feeding the mules.
I like the last line Bone. :)
Glad to hear he is feeling better.

Thanks for for all your well-wishes. I am touched.
Short Version: August 10th I went to hospital for an upper GI exam. A polyp was removed, but in the process some damage was done to my pancreas. It escalated into necrotizing pancreatitis putting me into a world of hurt. Iwas in Virginia Mason Medical Center for over four months.
I just returned home yesterday. I am still very feeble and can barely walk to the bathroom. Hunting is likely many months away.
Long Version: I guess there is not a lot of need for long version, but I will add that I was close to death several times. The process redced my weight from 217 pounds down to 143 pounds. I am now at 152 pounds. Skinny. If I can find it, I'll try to put my old Scout uniform on! Wouldn't that be a hoot.
I am also tied to a feeding tube 16 hours a dat (drip from a pole), further limiting my mobility.
I will resume following interesting threads on this site.
Ivar
(Feeling better but a long way to go.)

Well, I suck at predator hunting, and can never seem to get time off this time of year, so I'll start with "one". I think Team TDF would be happy if I could just put one on the board... :chuckle:

Best wishes Ivar, I hope you get better soon and I am sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope to hear from you soon.

One of my maladies is an open wound (ulcer, bed sore) on my butt, from my earliest stay in a local hospital. It is still healing. Now I can say "I'm bad ass!".
I will be eagerly reading all the posts, and catching up Predator Hunting Talkcast.
Kat, nice to see you on the list. Been hunting coyotes at all?

I continue to improve, gradually. I've left the walker behind, and today took a 0.8 mile walk at lunchtime with some co-workers. They are both avid hunters, and we had pleasant conversation. We considered the merits of adding a .25 cal to my arsenal, to complement the .20 (204 Ruger) and .30 (30-06), which constitute my centerfire arsenal.
There wasn't much debate really. You have to add to your arsenal, eh?

Progress Report

Absolutely. And after a 25 caliber, you need a 24 caliber, and (as stated above) a 26 caliber, and EVERYONE needs a .270, and the Rem .280 is a great round.... Glad to hear you're feeling better Ivar... Talking about buying a new rifle is like starting to notice pretty women again... :chuckle:
