Looks like a dandy foss.
Couple good looking partners you got there too. Teaching them how to drag the deer out to save on dads back? ;D

Funny you mention Foss's back. He's got a notoriously bad one. I know he went through a few years of heck trying to get some help. But you can't ever keep a good man down, right Foss?  |

Great deer and pic.
Speaking of backs, nobody should take advantage of theirs. I was in a car accident when I was 21 or so and had severe whiplash. I didnt know it at the time of the accident, but I fould out about a month later when I was drying my hair after getting out of the shower. My back popped and I couldnt get my arms down without alot of pain. I called a chiropractor and went in for help. My back was all twisted. He fixed it over a 3 month period and I was good.
I still go back on occasion, but not like I should. I do not want to have it operated on. Everyone I know that has had surgery is worse than before they had it. My back hurts on a daily basis now and I put up with it. If its to bad, I call my chiro. and give him a visit for a few days and I am good to go again. Still hurts, but not as bad.
Do everything you can to save your back as often as you can. Lift with your legs, get help lifting things, get help dragging deer if possible(sled, ropes, etc.). Dont take it for granted, it does wear out!

Everyone I talk to likes it at first and then say they had less pain and more movement before the surgery. Some people call them quacks, but I am a firm believer in Chiropractors.

A few falls didn't help out,one was 15 feet,hit some pipes on the ground,recieved amnesia for four hours,bruised ribs,concusion.........the other fall-off a barn while roofing...fell 35 feet,was out for 20 minutes,bruised ribs,kidneys,liver,left back leg,ripped all the skin off to the muscles,ripped most fingernails off,jammed my lower spine,I landed in the sitting position....
Yuppers I have two diseases in my back(Spinal Stenous) and (Degenertive Disk),one surgery(ten hours on the table)Took out L3-L4-L5,on the back part of the bone,just exposed nerves now........(I think its called a decompression)got me on painkillers and disability......Two spinal shots with steriods,(never again!!!)
But I keep pushing myself and won't stop my life,the heck with them.......... ;D ;)I hurt like hell at nite,but my spirit feels great..... ;D
I can't go to a "Back Doctor" anymore,they could paralysis me with one move,I can't chance that at all,but yes I used to go to them all the time a few years back........Twice a week for one year....
