Is that from a poor circulation condition?
Hopefully you can keep your toes and they can correct the cause.
From: Jaquomo

Good luck and hang in there, buddy. There's lots worse things than losing a couple toes. Main thing is to get the cause identified and fixed. Best wishes!

Jeesh Dan... that looks tough. I googled prosthetic toes... just in case. Sure enough they have em’. Would help with keeping your other toes aligned and help with your balance. But, praying you get to keep the ones you got free!

My Dad had the same issue. Hope yours goes better than his. He lost toes, then a leg, but he had Type I diabetes from the age of 14 and we have come a long way since then treating diabetes and the circulation problems that are secondary to the disease
Maybe I am saying this to worry a bit more than you already are. I know you are already worried, but just always remember what can happen if you don't take care of your feet. If you are like me, you are stubborn and want to be able to do all the things you have been doing. But possibly times are achanging, and though you can't give up hunting, you need to take more care in the future. Most of the changes are beyond your control, but there are some things you can do. I pray and hope you do great and can still count to 10 on your fingers AND toes! Prayers sent

Good luck with that Dan, I hope that's as far as it goes. My son in law has had that done a couple times, but his is from a spinal injury. I worry about that some myself, although my circulation seems to be better since I've been on coumadin. Ain't much fun getting old ! Hang in !

If worse comes to worse... Isn’t there some bar in Alaska where they offer shots with a pickled toe in it?
That could be quite the fundraising “dare” shot at future P&Y Bowsite meet and greets.
Asking for a friend.

Dang Dan, I sure hope they can save those toes! I had my two bottom incisors pulled so I could bugle just like you. But getting a couple toes yanked might be more than I'm willing to sacrifice...
