Hope you feel better soon!

Interesting how this all has evolved. When it first showed up everybody was freaking out and now it's just like "meh"

I've had it twice (possibly 3), only felt like I was dying the first day. I've had the flu and it was worse.

 

My walking pneumonia was 100× worse than the covid I got. The walking pneumonia put me in the hospital for 2 months hooked up to a breathing machine. Lost 50lbs. Basically what I was told by the doctor if I waited 1 more day I would of been dead.

 

This is my second time dealing with it. This time is much milder than the first and actually milder than the reactions I had to the vaccines. That being said I believe having gotten those shots is likely why I don't feel as bad.I just don't want to infect anyone else.

 

Yea the irony of it all is I didn't get it till after my shots

 

I think the unfortunate thing is that it doesn't matter if you got the shot or not you can still pass it on to others. I'm not vaxxed but both my parents are. My mother has gotten covid 5 times since getting shots. My father has yet to get it and he drives taxis full time.

 

My issue with the shots was that I had horrible reactions to each of them. First shot I received on a Wednesday afternoon when I left work. Felt fine that night, got up and went to work Thursday morning as usual. Two hours later it hit and I felt like shit. Alternating fever and chills, muscle aches, headache, you name it. Finished my shift somehow and went home then lard on the couch and fell asleep for about 2 hours. Woke up and felt great. Grilled dinner that night, everything normal. Went to bed and woke a couple hours later soaked in sweat and it started again. Somehow drifted back off to sleep and when my alarm went off in the morning it was like none of it had ever happened.

 

The first one didn't react too badly, I actually got it before going into work. The second one was pretty gnarly so I didn't opt for any boosters...

 

I got the first two, then after I heard some concerns about it - including how effective it was or was not - I have decided no more for me. I have had it once, as far as I know. If I have had again it must not have been too bad because I never had serious symptoms. My wife and grandson - who got the first two shots - have had it once, as far as we know. My mother gets every booster and has had it multiple times.

 

Buddy at work got a booster and lost the use of his right wrist for a couple of months. If I didn't see it first hand I wouldn't of believed it. I'm lucky I'm some what decent shape/health and able to risk not getting the boosters but everyone is not me. I've had the vid maybe 3 times and it's been average for me .

 

not mine, but this was taken nearby where I live. A friend sent it to me who is related to the hunter. Incredible rack on this animal! I'm told it weighed in at 211lbs

 

Jesusss

 

yeah, I had buck fever just looking at the photo. I can't imagine seeing that walking around out in the wild!

 

I no long hunt but do enjoy seeing some massive bucks. We had a huge 14 pointer around my area. I think someone finally tagged it last year. I'd always see this guy hanging around a certain area. I told my buddy about it he's a huge hunter he kept telling me 1 day he's gonna tag it. I don't think it was him.

 

Hoping for a quick recovery.

 

Good night everyone hope you had a good day .

 

Three straight days in a tree stand. One freaking spike who spent a total of an hour with me, getting as close as 14 yards… and every doe under the Sun but on the wrong side of the property line. Excuse me while I go ball my eyes out.

 

I almost hit one the other morning on the way to work with 5 points across the top on both sides, so at least a 10pt probably more.. couldn't see anything but the top of the rack.

 

Yea I almost took one out driving in Maryland to work the other morning. Scared the crap outta me. My manager was driving behind me and the deer was still standing by the roadside when he went through. I didn't even scare him...
