KIC Posted December 8, 2012 Share #20 Posted December 8, 2012 Glad you are doing well. Heal fast, but follow doctor's orders and don't over do it too fast. Tell friends and family your throat hurts too so they'll bring you ice cream and you can make Big Tom jealous at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano Posted December 9, 2012 Share #21 Posted December 9, 2012 Glad you made it thru OK, I did the same to a 250-300 lb. 8 point buck last year and it put me in the hospital for a month! No permanent damage (except the tiredness) but I had to get another 08 Venture! Tore the old one up good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonslayer Posted December 9, 2012 Share #22 Posted December 9, 2012 I find it best to use the Venture as a dead deer transport than a hunting weapon. I'm just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
