Awkward moments

[MnFn]

Hilarious moments in hunting. You got any?

One of my best ones was when I was bowhunting in the end of October. It was a really cold day. 

I was using my Heater body suit. I was toasty warm, sitting on a three legged stool.

I fell asleep and rolled off the stool, ending up face down on the ground. I was on a slope and my head was lower than my body. I had a heck of a time getting up right.

Me, awkward?  Never.

Unless it was the time I'd been hunting hard high up in the Rockies and having zero success - so I grumpily trudged back to camp, took off my boots, got a hot cup of coffee and sat down to whine about how 'they just aren't biting today'.

That's right when a fat and sassy cow elk came trotting THRU our camp.

And me there unarmed and in my socks. 

That's when I knew God had a sense of humor and I needed a hot cup of humility.

Hmmmm. More than once, I've forgotten to put my bow in my vehicle when driving to a hunt location. Frustrating, embarrassing, and yeah, and I'd say awkward, particularly when my hunting partner asks what happened.

On a calm October evening, the sun had just set and my stand in a thin oak strip with planted pines above me and a cane break below. I had a good feeling about this evening and my stand with my Osage selfbow and cane arrow across my lap. As dusk moved in a brown thrasher flew upon the tree next to me then decided to dive bomb me raising quite a racket. After a few minutes of this with light fading I decided to go back to camp. The next evening I was in the same tree with similar conditions and again as the time was just right here came the brown thrasher again with his antics. I climbed down from my stand and headed back to camp when I realized it wasn't me the bird was pissed at but the copperhead skin that backed my Osage selfbow.
