Forgot matches once when my wife and I went camping when we first got married.
Forgot to find out if my spare tire would let down after I bought a brand new pickup. Had to wait about 8 hours for Lester Schwab to get there, no cell service. That won't happen again.
Forgot my binoculars after gutting out my first deer when I was a little guy. Found them that spring when dad and I went back to the spot hanging on the limb.
Forgot to take my gun off safety one time.
Forgot to make sure I had plenty of clearance when wearing my waders one time, had to cut them off!

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 :bash:

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.

Also on my first youth duck hunt I forgot my license. Didn't realize until we were back at the truck :bdid:
Post by: JackOfAllTrades on June 23, 2009, 10:29:44 AM
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.
LMAO you guys never told me that!!!!! :chuckle:

I was going elk hunting up at clear-water one morning, about the lake Quinault area I discovered I had forgot to bring any ammo. Well it was a bout a hour before first light so if I went home for ammo I was going to get up there well after first light. I stopped at the Amanda Park Mercantile and seen someone inside moving around s I beat on the door until someone came to the door. I bought a box of 150gr win PowerPoint's for my 7mag. I killed a raghorn bull that day.

Forgot my stove and water filter on an "Andy needs to get away from the world and go camping" trip, 5 miles in and 5 miles out... and I didn't get away from the world at all.
Forgot my wallet once on a date, didn't get a second one.

My brother hunted all day with an empty 30-30. ( we found all his shells on the floor of the truck....) When he met us at the rig near dusk....my dad said..."so...what would you have done if you saw a buck?" "Shoot him" my brother replied..... "With what?" His eyes got really big, and he opened the action.....empty.... :chuckle:
ohh... did that pheasant hunting with a buddy.
First place we stopped at he filled the shotgun and handed me a bunch of shells.
Second place we stopped at he handed me a shotgun and a bunch of shells.... I didn't realize he didn't load it. Luckily (or unluckily) we didn't see any more shootable birds that day.

Not really sure how i did this but, My buddy and i pulled up so a nice spot that over looks a canyon, so we figured instead of taking out guns and gear (before the season..scout trip) that we should just take a hike down and see what we can stubble accross. So we go down the canyon and come back a couple hours later to the truck and realized i left my drivers side door WIDE open...Not sure if anyone drove by and noticed but we had two guns and backpacks sitting on the back seat...luckily no one took them
Similar deal a dude left his rifle and pistol sitting on the top of his hood while he was off in the "brush" bet you cna prolly guess what eh was doing.......................well hes lucky that it was me walking by his pickup instead of most of the dillweeds I see in the woods these days......

I forgot my brand new binoculars early archery a couple years ago, luckly, someone we where hunting with had an extra pair.
Forgot my ammo in camp this year, adn I had 5 rounds in my gun, we where two or three miles from camp, missed a buck four times, and only had one shell left, so I had to run back to camp to get my box of ammo, so I could go try to find the deer.

I discovered I had forgot to bring any ammo.
Popping into a local sports store would not work for me. Most of the time I've got my wildcat 30-338 Ruger77. I'd have a tough time finding any of the in the box. She'll prolly chamber a .308 Norma but I haven't tried. Still prolly will never see any of the on the store shelf either.
Was up in the hills one time. Tough climb with full packs -had just summitted the ridge and was taking a rest before descending the other side down another 1,000 ft to the lake. Wally starts walking off a leg cramp. We'd taken all our gear off and set our rifles down. From around the bend I hear him sort of whisper/yelling, "Bear, Bear, Bear". By the time I came runnin with ole' Bertha, that big blacky was ducking into the woods on the far side of the meadow.
Had he not forgot to take his rifle while walking off that cramp, he'd have a much bigger Bear on the wall than the one he does now. I remind him of that once in a while.

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.
That wasnt jeremy was it?
Post by: ing on June 24, 2009, 09:48:08 PM
Yeah that was Perm. He was haulin ass cause he made it back to camp around 9 am. Sad thing is he ended up shooting a bear shortly after he got back. Tracked it all day and never found it. Just quit bleeding if I remember right. he never found it the next day either. Oh yeah, when I got back to camp I jumped into my truck and the tank was almost empty. He was in too much of a hurry he forgot to fill it back up. Little *censored*...I forgot my license when we went pheasant hunting once.

I forgot my realease on the hood of my buddies truck as we drove off one time in eastern OR. I was like, well I'll just shoot with my fingers. So I took a practice shot and, yeah that wasn't going to work. My buddy went hunting and I went looking for my release. I found it right were the truck was parked!! Lucky me....
I was going scuba diving with my cousin a few years ago and he forgot ALL of his dive gear at home..We were 3 hours from his house..How does one go on a dive trip and forget EVERYTHING ???? He does dumb sheet like this ALL the time. He's actually pretty entertaining to have around....
