Well, I'm pretty bummed. My hunting partner and I got up to our moose/caribou area Sunday night, ready for the opener on Monday. Monday morning, we are up and at em. It was a beautiful day. We got back into an area that we had scouted and felt pretty good about, but had never hunted before. Around noon, while coming down the side of a hill, I lose my footing, tumble about 30 yards down the hill and....

I break my right ankle.
My buddy manages to help me limp my way back to camp...about 2 1/2 hours. We make it back, pack up and drive back to town. 6 hours after the accident, I'm in the ER getting x-rays. They said I tore the ligaments and also broke some small pieces of bone. I have to follow up with the ortho doc next week to find out what the prognosis is.
So, needless to say, my hunting season is over after less than 12 hours. To add insult to injury, I busted the LCD screen on my Canon Rebel that was in my pack.
So, I will have to live vicariously through all of you. I'm rooting for each and every one of you to bring home the trophy of a lifetime.
