No deer or pheasant today. A duck and a pheasant the other day. Changing my deer strategery as the deer aren't behaving the same as last year. Whole set up woulda whacked some if they had the same pattern.

Not a good day for me. I drew on a doe this morning, she was walking behind me in some scrub brush. I drew on her and followed her every step hoping she would step out. I held and held on her till I just couldn't hold anymore. As I was about to let down, she looks right at me!! I freeze, still holding... She puts her head down and walks behind a few trees. Here's my chance to let down and rest my shoulder. As I let down, my shoulder gives out and the motion of letting down pulls my shoulder out with it. My arrow comes unnocked, clanked my riser and falls. Deer runs off leaving me with a possible torn rotator cuff. My bow season my very well be over as fast as it started...

Put a field first aid kit together with other survival doo dads. Fire starters, powerbars etc.
Be prepared, shit happens.
Good heads-up story. Doesn't matter how well you know your area, shit can happen. I always have a headlamp and a spare flashlight. Getting out of the woods with no light sux, even having an easily defined trail.
Dropping weight is an option, but then my arrows would be way too stiff.
I'm gonna rest it the next day or so see how it's feels. I'll try and draw and shoot my recurve and see how that goes first. Much lighter on the draw.
Just be careful. I would hate to see an injury that just needs rest become on that needs surgery because you pushed yourself. Maybe have a doc take a look before you push your limp wing. Your health is more important. They're always shotgun season.

I gave my recurve away in karma. Shooting it made my shoulder feel as if it was being pulled apart. 70#@28" draw. Not sure what you are pulling but beware.
MRI set for today.
How strict are you guys with hunting the wind...I have a stand I want to hunt tomorrow afternoon and the best wind for it is N or NNW but tomorrow supposed to be WNW should I risk it?
