Well my turkey season is over here in Tennessee!! I was out chasing gobblers when I tripped over an old fence laying under the leaves and fell and broke a couple of ribs. So my season is done, at least I did kill one opening week, but good luck to every one else
man that's a tough break. Did the same thing a few weeks back, tree broke my fall, nothing broke but left shoulder looked like i had used a 10 gauge single shot. All Day!
Feel your pain,broke ribs are not fun at all.
I have broken a couple thru the years and it hurt to breathe,ride in vehicle,and the worst laugh.

I bruised my ribs once....I cant imagine breaking ribs.I feel for you brother!!!
Tough break. Sorry to hear it.
At least you got to feed the fix a little. Hope you get better soon! :icon_thumright:
tough deal brother, hang in thgere
That's a shame. Glad you were at least able to get one.
Hang in there buddy. Hope you heal fast
Sent from my iPhone that I ain't smart enough to use with tapatalker
you got a year to heal up
I broke a guys ribs back in high scool fighting and he said it hurt to do anything. Sorry to hear about your accident.
Ace bandage and a couple of Alieve daily, get back out there man ! Just don't sneeze, cough, use a diaphram call or do an owl call and you will be ok.. Sorry to hear it, not much more painfull than that.
Dang. Hope you heal quickly and with as little as pain as possible
Ouch!
More important that your alright. Atleast you get to see another season. Something like that alone in the woods could have been worse. Broken ribs are no joke.
Ouch, get well soon.

I'm sorry to hear this man. I grew up racing dirt bikes and have busted or cracked most. Only hurts when you breathe. Sorry to hear...God bless

The whole wrapping it thing is now discouraged by docs. You're also supposed to try and take as deep a breath as possible about once an hour. It sucks, but that's how it heals fastest.
I've got a broken rib right now. I broke it 3 weeks ago at rugby practice. 3 days later, I was lucky enough to help my inlaws move into their retirement home, which included driving a U Haul 5 1/2 hours over bumpy northern WI back roads, moving a gun safe up and down stairs, and then pushing all of their furniture (made for someone the size of Andre the Giant) up an extension ladder to the loft of their log cabin.
It ranked pretty low on the fun scale.
