    I am fortunate and not one to complain but I can say of the ortho issues I have dealt with from sports and skiing, among other things, acromnioplasty with clavicular reduction (shoulder surgery fixing the rotator cuff tendon and shaving off the clavicle to free up space) is the most painful thing I have endured-good as new though after the L side was done-your mom will feel much betta in the long run but it is a barrel of pain in my experience----my R needs done badly but I can swing a golf club, draw a bow and swing the Fiskars so I'm putting it off as long as I can...

    That does look like a nice trailer. I contemplated one years ago but there's no way a foreman has the traction to pull that loaded around the hills on my property.
    Had I not found this single jetski trailer for $50 by chance local on ebay I'd have one similar.

    No basod You would be surprised---we have much tougher elavation here and I cross some crazy terrain changes due to the massive flooding in the spring/summer-big sand banks, rutted out roads, fallen trees, etc-the floating tandem axle on the Polar and the 500 Foreman has not been bogged down once---I know its not for everyone but it sure is my only option---take care my friend...and keep hoarding...

    But Eric VW (WV) I enjoyed the cutting so much more, seriously---Thank you for the compliments, I honestly derive as much if not more joy cutting this gift than hunting but it's time for a break and I have a couple swarpers that deserve my attention right now---I've got all my fallen off the ground for the most part so it will be fine til mid-Dec---I do miss golf though:zip: Isn't life grand? Treasure every day the good Lord lets your feet hit the floor...

    Thank you sir Eric VW , a swarper is big daddy with a rocking chair on his head...like this one here----I enjoy the pursuit of only mature, majestic animals that have already lived most of their life...I don't eat much venison, I enjoy having it processed and giving to friends and elderly that are not able to hunt anymore-I give processed meat and jerky as gifts during the holidays...my way of giving back something that brings me great joy image.jpeg

    Well Ashwatcher that sure is one sweet swarper!
    A few years ago, I did a job with my dad at his friend's home place. There were some 14 & 15 point atypical or non-typical trophies on the walls. I never saw antlers that turned any way other than up before then. Really neat.
