....decided to take a few warmup shots. Went into the truck and got my arrows....no bow! I forgot my dang bow!
My partner laughed as he began his hike out. I got in the truck and headed home for the bow (about a 20 minute drive). "See you at dark!" he said as he hiked out along the corn.
Literally as I pulled into my driveway, the thunder clapped and rain came in buckets. And it kept coming. I laughed and decided to stay home.
20 minutes later I got a text. "I'm soaked" was all it said.
I responded with "I'm dry, and frying up some bluegills".
Because this is a family site, I can't repeat his response... :knothead:
:thumbsup:
You: :campfire: :coffee: :goldtooth:
Him: :mad: :dunno: :nono:
That's funny
Too funny!

Now I needed a good laugh today and that was just the ticket! Hope he made it out safely though. :thumbsup:

Haha!!!!! Awesome!

Nice...
My worst idiot moment while hunting was when I went to film for a buddy. I'm was so concerned about remembering a dang extra stand to hang in the tree, I forgot my boots!
I was wearing a pair of crocs over wool socks. It was a morning hunt and we had a long walk through tall grass.
My feet were soaked and cold. The good wool saved my life.
:knothead:
Perfect
You make me feel a little bit better. I forgot my arrows for one late season hunt. I had recently switched from a bow quiver to an Arrowmaster side quiver I guess I just wasn't used to having an extra thing to drag along. I didn't realize my mistake until I went to hook my bow onto the haul rope when I arrived at the tree. :knothead:
:banghead:

For just a moment Roger, your story reminded me of camp, except you're playing the part of Tim. I think more times than not that boy is coming back to the cabin for something he forgot. :wavey:
:biglaugh:
Now that's funny.
:biglaugh: :biglaugh: I left the house yesterday afternoon for a short hunt......five miles from the house I turned around and went back........I forgot my Bow. I do leave a back up 2 pc longbow in the truck but I wanted my River Runner. Tough getting old...... :dunno:
Blessing in disguise
That's pretty funny
Been there. :biglaugh:
Bitter sweet :biglaugh:
Haha, saved by your "Sometimers"
Sometimes things just work out...not often, but sometimes. ;)

I find it so easy to laugh at stupid stunts like that when I've done it myself - all of them! :)
Now THAT's Funny!!!!!!!!!! :biglaugh:
Sometimes, When you least expect it..... It all works out!!! ;)
I am pretty sure that if I get to the stand w/o a bow - the first thing I'd see would be game.
I gun hunted in Wisconsin for over 20 yrs in a deer camp. One of the more tightly wrapped cheesers had a huge buck under his stand at 50 yds. He proceeded to shuck all the shells thru his lever action turdy turdy till it was empty without firing one shot.
Great story! Loved it!

Reminds me of a duck hunt a while back...loaded the boat at the landing set out across the lake set decoys, got everything situated in the blind...except for the you know whats....still in the truck at the landing!!!
Don't they call that Karma 'what go's around come's around" :laughing: :laughing:
Very insightful story... Glad you shared that. :)

I was drinking some Coke-read that and started laughing and spit coke om my computer screen-very funny stuff
Don't ya just love it! Last year, my hunting buddy and I are out. Started coming down lightly, then started getting harder. Thought to myself "I'm just not in the mood for this" so I hauled back to the Truck. Sat there for the next 3 hours. Gets dark and buddy finally shows up, soaked to the bone! He also had some choice comments for me, all dry and snug as a bug in a rug! They get over it!

HA!!
Mmmm, bluegills. Funny stuff! :biglaugh:
You know what they say? Paybacks are H&%%. Very funny story.
Roger,
Your inner weatherman told you not to go hunting today, he made you leave your bow at home. :)

HAhahaha.
I know mine works pretty darn good....up to a point.
Good story, Rog. :D
Aaah, you think you inadvertently outsmarted the weather, but did you check your trail cam and see the pix of the 180 class buck standing 10 yards from your stand ten minutes before it started to rain? :goldtooth:
Been there, done that. Have also managed to misplace/forget my shooting glove, binos, favorite hat, etc. a time or two over the years. Shot one of the bigger bucks I've taken with bare fingers because of 'misplaced' shooting glove. It fell out of my pack at another stand the day before. Didn't realize it until I got to a different stand the next day.

Lord knows how many tabs, grunt calls, turkey calls, etc. I have left in the woods ; 0)
Don't forget the pocket knives... :banghead:
