Hey guys i'm an MD and I remove toenails. I would wait at least a month before a hunting trip if you're going to do this. It's an easy procedure but as you know it takes usually about 3 months for a toenail to grow back and your foot dynamics can be just a little off until that happens. Really every case is different, some people just need the toenail off and then it grows back, some people need a wedge resection (trim off some of the side and do the acid thing), some people have the toenail removed and nail bed ablated so it never comes back. Hopefully you find someone you trust and they can give you good advice about this. The biggest part is maintaining your nails well with regular trimming. If the nail folds get inflamed, soaks in warm water with epsom salts and some light massage to the area usually will fix the problem in a few days. Good luck and hope your feet are ok.
