I ruptured mine about 9 years ago during early summer. I was ready to go in the fall, but I wasn’t fully recovered. As a result, I skipped a year of mountain/backpack hunting and stuck to foothill/badlands type terrain.
In terms of life after recovery, I have absolutely no limitations compared to my other leg. I have full ankle strength. Other than a slightly smaller calf on my injured leg (it never regained full size through PT and years of strength training), it’s like it never happened. For me, I can hunt in any type of footwear with no issues.
IMO, you can expect a full recovery by fall.
