Proper excuses for a waning season.

the sun was in my eyes, my horrorscope was bad it said i would miss a deer, but i didnt listen

Always like uncle Barry's, "Just as I came to full draw, I thought I heard a baby cry."

If Joliet Jake were a bowhunter:

-I ran out of gas.

-I, I had a flat tire.

-I didn't have enough money for cab fare.

-My "camo" didn't come back from the cleaners.

-An old friend came in from out of town.

-Someone stole my "truck".

-There was an earthquake.

-A terrible flood.

-Locusts!

Be safe. Stay healthy.

God bless,

José

Too many cows and coyotes...
Not enough deer.

The deer was just to close.

"My wife and mother in law plot against me."

I actually have a real excuse, "The water pump just went out on my car!" Just happened today, arrgghh!!

[buckeye_hunter]

He was close, but I wanted to see if I could get him in closer. It's the challenge you know, not how far you can shoot!  


My real excuse right now is; I pulled something in my shoulder/neck and can't get out during the rut. I'm seriously in pain right now.

I couldn't remember if I was supposed hunt with the wind or against it. 50/50 chance and Murphy tossed the coin.

> My nocks were too tight.
> My nocks were too loose.

George, this is a great thread, but I need to warn you that I am gonna steal these, not as excuses, but to let friends know how I feel about something they said or an option they shared.   They're great.

Let's say someone says something you don't agree with..."Hey,  I think your nock may be a little loose there."

Or let's say someone makes things harder than it should be..."Hey I think your nock may be a little tight there"

See!

Stay tuned, coming to a thread in the near future! :-)

I can't hit any thing since I got that swine flu shot....

I don't know what happened.  He was only 8 yards away.

I should have been in THAT TREE instead of...

[Tioga]

Only excuse that I have is that I didn't follow Carl Roe's advice and go squirrel hunting instead of deer hunting.  :cool:

[b.glass]

Too windy!

Not enough wind to hide my movement!

It's too cold.

It's too hot.

I don't want to get my new bow dirty, muddy or wet!

[vtmtnman]

Season is too short.

Archery only season dosen't fall over the rut.
