My season is done early!
And I haven’t harvested! Dang horse slipped and went down on my leg. Fractured tib and the other small bone. Now I’m laying in bed at the Foothills with a pin in my leg. So my priority 6 antlered Mule deer tag is likely forfeit. Any chance F&W would give me a tag for next year? I did hunt the first week of the season but could they possibly give me a tag for next year from Nov 3rd on? Maybe the meds are making me dream....

Ouch, hope you have a speedy recovery. I have heard of tags being redeemable but not during the season that has started. No harm in asking though, it should be easy enough to confirm your condition. lol

At the worst do what I did 12years ago get a good friend to set up a ground blind and help you get there and back. I did not let a plate and 8 screws stop me but I did need extra help. Dr was not a fan of me going hunting with two weeks of my break.
Seasons not over it only got a lot tougher

RZR. I knew you would chime in. Your probably giggling that I’m not able to get out. You are the most negative person on this forum hands down. You’ve been called on your poor attitude towards others. Whatever the world did to you must have left a scar for life. You only seem to get enjoyment out of other people’s misfortune. You never have anything positive or productive in your posts.

Maybe we should team up... I got 2 Stainless Steel pins in my thumb two weeks ago, trigger hand too.
I could push you around in the wheelchair while you shoot !
I feel your pain.

Having broken both my tibia and fibula twice, I can say, I feel your pain. Good luck with the heal and what ever with the tag.

After waiting for 6 priority- talk to local F & W
Many years ago I entered draws for about 4 animals and got 3 of them. then eye surgeon told me a needed cataract surgery and there would be no recoil or exertion for 6 weeks after my surgery and perhaps another 4 if healing didnt go as scheduled. fish and wildlife gave me a form for my doctor to fill in and sign and cancelled all my draws so I had same priority the following year. You were only a couple days into the hunt so they should cancel yours to allow you to put the required effort into a P6 not just go out there to burn the tag.
My son broke his leg last year and was a full 3 months before he felt back to normal

I plan on contacting F&W tomorrow. It’s worth a shot. I was trophy hunting the tag. I had the whole month off work to put in maximum effort. Then I promised my friends son he could use the tag on the last two days of the season if I did not find a trophy. I’ve never shot a large mule deer.

He’s a 12 year old first time hunter. Pretty sure we can partner up on the tag. But I will double check lol.

Says he who is crying about not being able to use my tag for the rest of the year even though I have already been out hunt with the tag. I should be able to ask for my tag again next year. It's unfortunate that you broke your leg I feel for ya! I've been there, but oh well I'll just wait until the next tag. You see the world doesn't owe me a dime. I hope you get to take the 12 yr old out with the tag. I get the most enjoyment out of watching youngsters hunt anyways. I partner them all the time as I could care less about me shooting an animal.

My wife is still in pain from a break 3 years ago so Iwish you lots of luck on healing. You hunted using the tag so very doubtful they will reascend your tag. Partnering with a youth would be a great use of the tag and make a great story for both of you to remember. good luck.

Horse is ok. He’s dead broke. Just slipped at a lope and rolled on me. He was calm about it. Got up and stood there with a look of “sorry” on his face .

Wishing you a fast recovery. Hope you are successful either yourself or with the young fellow that you have lined up for the last couple days of the season.
