Title: What am I forgetting?
Post by: Sneaky on October 29, 2010, 11:05:34 PM: Dad and I leave for MT in the morning for a 7 day deer hunt, weather report says it is SNOWING in the area we have scoped out! :IBCOOL:

Been planning since summertime and thinking I have all my ducks in a row, but you know how that goes. Seems like I'm always forgetting something in the excitement.

So what am I forgetting? Lets hear some stories about times you may have forgotten something important, maybe it will make me remember.

I remember once when I just started hunting around 8 years old dad and I made it over the pass without the guns :chuckle:

Good luck and drive safe. :)

Couple days back midway between Snohomish and Monroe I realized my License and Tag were still at home (only about 20 min back)

Hat, gloves, ammo...chapstick?

Post by: Axle on October 30, 2010, 06:36:14 PM: In the mid 70s, I had an uncle who forgot his knife. I didn't have one either and when he shot a deer, we had a challenge on our hands. I don't remember how I did it but I managed to gut it out. I think I used the expanded copper from his '06 bullet.
I've forgotten the clip to my '08, flashlight, beer, game bags, and numerous things I can't recall right now.
