    Just another be careful out there reminder.

    Friday night I managed to fall out of the bed of a Polaris spotlighting pigs. We were creeping slow and sober. I managed to fracture the plateau of my tibia. The ER in Hondo was great but there wasn’t much they could do besides pain shots and a splint.
    I’ll see an ortho this week and get a good prognosis.

    Be careful out there. **** happens even when you are doing everything right. The safest most normal things can creep up and bite you.

        Seriously, hope it isn’t too bad.

          Dang, hope you heal up fast.

          I would challenge one thing though - standing up in the bed of a Polaris while it is moving at night is not “Doing everything right.”

            We were putting up a tripod on our lease. When I climbed up the 12 ft ladder to trim some shooting lanes the stand tilted and dumped me. Fell on some big dead limbs on my side broke a couple ribs and bruised my hip and thigh really bad. Looked and felt like I fell under a moving 18 wheeler. Finally had to have that hip replaced. I’m just about back to normal now. I only hunt low level box blinds now. Be careful guys.

              Completely understood and fair.

                      My nighttime pig hunting story is pretty similar but with booze and a driver deciding to fishtail. Ended up with shattered ankle and broken foot
