I was really looking forward to my Colorado early season Mule deer hunt this year. Unfortunately I've been dealing with some serious hip pain for the last 6 months. I finally got an MRI after a couple months of PT and it shows i have extra bone on the femoral head of my hip so right now I'm dealing with bone on bone and i can't even squat.. being only 28 I'm not going to cause a bunch of damage to myself so surgery is the only option to shave some bone off. unfortunately that puts me in crutches for 6 weeks and not released to full activity for 12 weeks. backpacking into the place i go won't happen which sucks. Ive never returned a tag but if i return my archery tag would i be able to pick up a rifle tag of the return list which hopefully i could do if i had a little more time to build up some strength? i realize its not a serious illness or injury but having to return a tag is a swift kick in the nads
