Dumb mistake.
« on: October 19, 2012, 09:03:19 pm »
 I let my neighbor plant around 4 acres of corn on my property this year. It was real windy and looking like rain this evening, so i decided to hunt back edge of the corn from the ground instead of going to a tree stand. Anyway
 I walked to the end of the corn, picked a good spot along my fence with a bunch of vine honeysuckle starting to take over the woven wire, got my stool all situated the way i wanted it, even drew back my bow a couple of time to make sure i didnt have any thing restricting me. After i was completely satisfied with my set up I decided i better get an arrow ready. Thats when i realized that i forgot my quiver. :embarassed:
I knew i had it when i walked out of the house but aparently i set it down on the back bumper of my truck when i went into my building to get my stool. At least i was only 2 minutes from the house but i felt like a fool walking back carrying my bow without any ammo.

You think you felt like fool? Should have seen my buddy I found sleeping in the woods after he woke up.  He walked back to his truck with a quiver full of arrows and no bow 8) ::) :o Almost found me another bow last weekend but someone was a little lighter sleeper, huh, Steve? ::)

We've all had brilliant moments. Mine was climbing 18' up the tree over a decent size creek. Pulled my hickory bow up sat down to watch. Saw a monster buck bedded in a tangle 70 yds away. Made a slight turn in the seat and my bow slid off my lap and into the creek out of sight :o. By the time I got back up to where I was before the drop, I was a little steamed, but the buck was still bedded after all that. Never got a shot. Live and learn ;)

 Yep, did that this year as well. Except I left them home and was clear up in the mountains about an hour away when I realized it. Missed the morning hunt  ::)  As you get older you will find it happens all the time, LOL

I went up a tree in my climbing stand once and tried to pull my pack up on the rope only to realize I forgot to attach it to the rope.  That wouldn't be too bad, but I've done it several times. I'm a slow learner!

Did the same thing bear hunting once with a rifle I borrowed from my buddy. Spent all evening in the blind then realized I had left the shells in the truck. Good thing I did'nt see any bears.

  Everyone just has a common case of CRS (can't remember stuff). It happens all of the time and gets worse with age. Welcome to my world.

I resemble that remark.  I wasn't sleeping...just really concentrating on how good the wind sounded in the pine trees. ;D
