No problem. I have progressive/severe degenerative Lumbar and Cervical disc disease (LDDD/CDDD), peroneal nerve palsy, osteoarthritis.

I really appreciate the very kind offer, Just4Now, but doc ordered me to avoid any hunting. He's afraid of paralysis via injury to spinal nerves...which he says is very likely. I almost died in 2003 from neck vertebrae severing the nerves between C-2 & C-3. 4 doctors said I escaped death (total paralysis/or life support) by 1 month. They fused 6/7 neck vertebrae. My lower back vertebrae are too degenerated to repair...surgery is not an option. Also, I sustained a gunshot wound which broke my femur in my left leg during civilian/military (20th Special Forces)survival training in '83. I use a cane and a wheelchair...but I can still hobble along.

I would love to go turkey hunting with y'all...and I really mean that ! God Bless you for thinking of me. Go out and have fun calling up those gobblers...and make some good memories ! I'll be pulling for you and all.
