Bear blunder of the week.

I'm hoping that this is my one screw up for the year, but knowing myself pretty well, it's probably just the beginning...

I went out for the deer opener yesterday.  Hiked in the rain and fog for an hour to get to my spot.  Sat in the rain and fog for another hour waiting for it to clear up.  It finally cleard and I could hear a critter coming up the path.  I pulled my bow back and the rubber band that aligns the peep sight broke due to it being old and degraded by the UV.  Stupid me.

hunting most of the day with my muzzle loader only to find out I had been hunting with out a cap on the gun. 

Last year during late muzzle loader season I pulled the trigger on an elk at 30 yds only to hear a loud clunk, no cap on the muzzy...I told my hunting partners that I never had a clear shot to spare the embarrassment for earlier in the season another one of our partners had done the same thing.  But honestly, I had a perfect broad side shot at 30...maybe 50 yards and completely blew it without having my gun capped.  I do hope this is a mistake I do not make again.

I had a friend up to hunt and when we were looking at our guns he said my scope is dirty. I said I wiped clean and he said no it;s on the inside and to get him my cleaning rod and rag and cleaned it inside and they are a lot clearer without the crosshairs.
