Things you forgot.....

[blacktail luv]

A couple years back my boss decided he would start deer hunting again after a few years off.  So opening morning he gets up bright and early and walks out to his truck with his gun and cup of coffee.  Upon entering his vehicle he some how sets off the alarm to his truck.  Panic set in as he tried to figure out how to get the alarm off before waking the neighbors.  Finally he got the alarm off and went on his hunt.  A few miles up the road from his house, there is a nice three point feeding in a clearcut off the road.  He stops the car and reaches in the backseat for the gun, but it is not there, it was leaned against the wall of his shop.

I forgot my license when we went pheasant hunting once.  My dad left his deer tag at home on opening weekend a couple of years ago.  We were two hours away from home.  The funny thing is he took a shot at a whitetail buck and missed.  When we got home he realized that he forgot it... Good thing he missed!  I would'nt want to try and explain that to a game warden.  Oh yeah,  one time at elk camp my buddy locked his keys in his truck when he was warming it up on opening morning.  It's a good thing we had three trucks with us.  He drove my truck home to get his spare key while dad and I went hunting.  He lived in Zillah at the time and we were hunting outside of Yakima.  Missing opening morning always hurts.

2 years ago we set out to Ride into Ingals Creek in early September.  It was a very hot day 85 plus so we planned to hit the trail later in the afternoon.  After arriving at the trail head and saddling up the stock.  I went back to the trailer to put my jeans and boots on.  I had been wearing shorts and flip flops.  To my surprise I had forgotten my pants at home and I had brought 1 boot from 2 pairs so I had 2 left boots.

The word that best sums up that weekend was "RASH"

about two weeks ago we planned on going camping above rimrock around clear lake, and i basicly was planning on fishing the whole time... well we got camp all set up and i grabbed my pole and stuff....... thats right you guessed it, then it hit me i forgot my license, but i still had fun with my 3 year old just walkin around the woods and poking the fire with sticks

Went to a small state out in the middle of the ocean last year and didn't remember bring my hunters ed card.  Wasn't planning to hunt there but got invited anyway.  Real big hassle to get a license there without the card.  I recommend bringing it along when leaving the state.

Forgot to take my gun off safety one time.

Glad I am not the only one.....

I forgot the release to my bow (pre trad days)once while elk hunting.  I figured no big deal.  Sure enough, got a nice spike standing in front of me and I couldn't pull the fricking bow back due to sore ligaments in my hand.  I tried and I tried.  THat spike wandered off and up came another.  I tried and tried, that one moved on and up came another.  To this day, I'm sure I've never seen so many spikes in the general season. LOL

After shooting and dressing my buck out last year I forgot my shooting sticks where I shot the deer (hope their still there )

The year before after dragging my buck down the hill I realized I left my new camo baseball hat with built in leds back up on the top of the ridge. My buddy found it the next year but the chipmonks got to it

forgot ammo as a kid years ago
forgot boots on an archery hunt and hunted in sandals 5 years ago.  Not as bad as you would think.  kind of cold in the morning.

I now use a list ever time.

Forgot my shotgun once as a youngin.

Also on my first youth duck hunt I forgot my license.  Didn't realize until we were back at the truck

[JackOfAllTrades]

I've left: One pair of binoculars and two monoculars in the woods -never to be recovered again.

Once I left my day pack in the woods after a nature call. I got back to camp after that afternoon's hunt only to realize what I did. It was a bitch finding a camo day pack by flashlight! Keys to the truck and trailer were in it.

I've lost gloves in the woods. Hats too. A comphy sitting cushion.

I don't know how many times I've left the trailer without my orange vest, the radio, other little schit that I've ended up walkin bak a hundred yards or so for...

Left the door wide open on the truck once. Remembered that hours later.

last year i got my deer. Our group got it gutted and drug it out. Left my new 7mm-08 next to the gut pile. Got it back at 10:00 at night. It was sitting on the right side of the tree and no one could see it.
