Not How I Wanted to End the Season!

[NFA-ADK]

Well I had a great deer hunting season but ended on a low note.  With 2 weeks left in the season I was determined to hit the woods hard with an extra 5 days to take off and key in on a few good area's until this happened.  Just driving with the flow when this jerk tried to pull into a parking lot from the left lane!  Guy did not see me at all and slammed me off the road and actually landed in the parking lot on my right side!  ARG!!!  So now I get to wait for approval on Meds and physical therapy, joy.  Lucky for me I can take it easy as the pain was very sharp when present.

Not that I could not hunt at all but trying to drag out a deer when my back and neck are strained would have been problematic to say the least and I did not know if I was getting worse as time progressed so I bailed on the last two weeks for self preservation and pain management.

Was hoping for a decent buck with antlers to start my year off on the right foot, that got shot down.  Sometimes the only luck I get is bad!  Hope things get better from here!  Arg!

Goodbye little Scion, you where a good car I will miss you!

Glad your alright though! Sucks that it happened, but better at the end of the season than the beginning.

Sorry you had to miss out on the last part of your season. But even though you are hurting. I'm happy you were not more seriously injured. Hope you feel better soon and you have better luck for next season.

Feel better, sucks about the car though.

[Paula]

[fasteddie]

Wow ! Did a heck of a job on your car . Glad you came out safe . 

[Cabin Fever]

OUCH! Glad you're OK. Just remember, it could have been much worse.

[NYBowhunter]

Glad you are on the mend. Heal up quick as the opener is only 8 months away.

[Elmo]

Man!  That sucks!  Hope you have a speedy and full recovery!

So maybe it's true that you are safer in the woods deer hunting than you are driving to your hunting spot. Honestly, there are so many jerks on the road today that I really do feel uneasy every time I get out there. People are doing everything but paying attention to their driving. Today you have to go from defensive driving to mind-reading.

So what's the verdict on the car? Can they glue it back together or is it totaled?

Heal Well and plan for a Great Next Year !

Everything everyone else said and let's hope that's it for any more major problems this year.

I am lucky it was not worse!  Car is totaled.  Cars can be replaced.  It could have been much worse if I was not on the brake immediately after he hit me. 

On a lighter note I am now thinking about a larger vehicle, I just feel safer in them.  Thinking about a full camera system as well, just easer to say look at the video tape then have to explain all the details after getting knocked around like I was.   Lucky for me it just seems to be some pain issue when I stress my back and neck.  As a computer geek I am lucky in the fact that most days are not labor intensive. 

Thanks for all the support!
