I used BLACKMAIL last night

[Johnch]

I have not been able to trim shooting lanes or do the other stuff to get ready to bow hunt
Figured I would just hunt a few easy ground setup's



So last night my nephue ask if I had the stands ready for season
I told him the truth ......I couldn't
I layed it on thick about the torn rotator cuff http://www.theohiooutdoors.com/images/smilies/smiley_blackeye.gif

So he started to act sad , as he hunts with me sometimes
And has been practicing a lot with his bow

So I told him if he wanted to bowhunt for deer
He had to HELP clear the shooting lanes and get a few spots ready for my ground blinds

LOL he said OK :bigsmyl2:

So early this AM we headed out back and got a start
I used the bushhog to clear the old lane
He started setting up a ground blind and brushing it in
He got to use the polesaw to trim a few limbs

He hauled 2 more mineral blocks out and the project of setting up the deer feeder ( I will not start feeding till a few weeks before season )

Probely 2 more mornings and we ......he will have all the shooting lanes cut and stands ready

So I will probely be able to hunt afterall http://www.theohiooutdoors.com/images/smilies/DancingPickle.gif

That is not Blackmail that is your nephew helping you out and what family is for just like you allowing him to hunt there!

How are you going to bow hunt with a bad rotator cuff.

[runfiverun]

going put on a limb here.
call your sis and thank her.

Not Blackmail, a little guilt trip maybe, but not blackmail.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work on my daughter; unless she wants dear old Dad to do something for her.

You appear to be very very thirsty after that and he should buy you beer too! LOL

I agree with the others. It's not blackmail, it's paying dues for priveledges.

How are you going to bow hunt with a bad rotator cuff.

I have a crossbow and a freind gave me a battery powered cocker

Also all of the land I will be hunting is NW Ohio .....so it is flat
Lots of feilds , with small woods and creek bottoms
So I can get the ATV in almost everywhere to drag a deer out

Not the best
But till they opperate on the shoulder , the best I can do :cry:

SWMBO has had both sides done, I even got to do some of the therapy!! Payback is a bxxxx. Point is, if you DO what the therapists tell you, you will easily be back 98-100% in a month to six weeks. Good luck! Goat

good luck my friend do what thay say

that crossbow with the ratcheting string cocker saved me last season when I thought I wouldn't get to hunt due to recovery from back surgery! Didn't get to shoot one with the bow though but at least I was hunting. Good luck. Joe

I did a 100% total tear (all four ligaments) in January 2011 -- on my dominate side, of course! Operation done in March 2011. I now have a ~50% permanent disability (can't raise my arm over shoulder height). I am just now getting to the point of contemplating shooting something stronger than a .22 in a long gun. Pistols have been ok, but I have to take frequent breaks to let the shoulder rest.

So it all depends on how bad it is.

not black mail at all

when I was 16 I was at work , my dad had called my boss a family friend told him he had a deer and I needed to come drag it out , as he had just had back surgery the year before

thats paying dues
