My 17 year old son is going to have a total hip replacement in about a month. He had to miss this last season because of his issues. Opening day of deer season this year I damn near lost it in the woods when the sun came up, as it was the first year he wasn't with me out there. Needless to say, I am over the top excited at the thought of getting him out in the woods again. The doctor says he should be good to go in about 9 months. From my personal experience, what doctors say and what sometimes happen aren't always the same. Have any of you had, or known someone with a hip replacment who has continued hunting? Are you able to cover as much ground? Is agility affected much? Any pointers for when we get back there to make him comfortable? I don't want to break the kid (again) but man, I can't wait to glass clearcuts and beat brush with him again.
