Chalk it up to good Karma, still pretty impressive! Remember all of his other senses were working too. You weren't at full speed either. Instead of an eye for an eye it was an eye for a knee.I should probably confess that fate may have played a big role. After he was down and we got up there, we found that his left eye (the side we snuck in from) had been injured. It was all swollen, infected and crusty, so he probably couldn’t see really well on that side. Lucky for me I guess
Absolutely! Told me the same, hence all the rules. I was fully prepared mentally to just let animals go if the stalk required doing something dumb. I figured if I stuck to activities I’ve been cleared for and was conscious about what I was doing, I could maybe pull it off
Started working hard before surgery in an effort to maintain as much as I could. I absolutely think it helped, and I would recommend it to anyone going through it themselves. I was still Elliptical running and doing leg strength exercises the day before surgery. Even still it was kind of shocking how much muscle I lost in such a short amount of time.
