"EVERYDAY"

Killy, which was the mistake? The pencil or the eraser?

What the yell would I need an eraser for?  

Killdeer   :p

every day i wake up. Sorry about the bow explosion. What caused it.

The night is young.

See, your in very good company.

Funniest part of my day is laughing at myself.  I do LOTs of stupid stuff.  Traditional bowhunting just fuels the fire.

This is going to be a great thread.

I'm just glad I haven't done anything stupid at work.

First time i ever shot a traditional bow, buddy handed me his longbow.  Then handed me an armguard, said, "u better put this on first".  I thought it went around ur wrist . . . . . . . . .

About 27 years ago when i was first getting started bowhunting me and my friend were on our first big game hunt for deer and elk. Everything we had and did was half a$$ed to say the least. I had accidently cut my sting almost all the way and my backup string was about 10 inches to long. Twist as i could i couldnt get it short enough, so i started tying knots in it. By the time i was done my string looked like it had several large tumors hanging off it! Im glad we didnt get any pictures of that..

I'm pretty sure I have, but just can not think of what it was.  

The most dumbest thing I ever did bowhunting wise was taking a too far shot of 29 yards on a deer during a late afternoon hunt when I was 16 years old. The deer moved forward just as I released my arrow.

Instead of a broadside double lung kill shot, the shot turned into a "gut shot". I trailed the deer for 200 yards before it got dark and I lost the blood trail in the darkness.

I took up the trail the next morning at first light. I eventually found the deer another 200 yards away, but a pack of coyotes found it before me during the night.     :(    

I was sure the deer was alive when the coyotes found the deer and ate it alive.     :eek:   I felt sick to my stomach at the carnage I saw and realizing I was responsible for it.  

That is when I vowed.....NEVER.....to take a shot over 20 yards again. And I haven't. This hard and humbling lesson was learned 46 years ago.

I did learn my lesson. Three weeks later, I arrowed my first deer with a broadside double lung pass through shot at.......14 yards and the deer traveled 42 yards. I know the shot distance and the trailing distance since I carried a tape measure with me.

ME! no not ever, never happened, Never will.

Arg!!, notice any thing wrong with the bow in this pic

 


This is the second time. needless to say i carry a spare in my pack.

Killy, why would I buy a pencil? They never let me use anything but Crayons.

Up in my treestand in my little piece of heaven. Holding onto the bow I squeezed the arrow nock between my thumb and finger and pulled back just a couple inches when the arrow slipped outta my fingers. It went forward a short distance, strait down and planted itself in the ground about ten feet from the tree...That wasn't it.

It was when I caught myself looking around to see if anyone had seen what had happened that made me feel kinda stupid...

Used a drinking straw to suck up hot bow string wax I just made to transfer to some little cups...Tongue still remembers that everytime I think of making more string wax...  

Keefer, THAT may take the cake!  

"Ever do something stupid?"

Yes.  On a fairly regular basis.

Nah, never did anything really stupid, but I did cut my bowstring with a broadhead once.
