Need Your Excuses

[Shaun]

One I learned from Wensels, "Just as I came to full draw I thought I heard a baby cry."

[Stumpkiller]

I forgot to lick my arrow and it didn't stick.

 

[Shortlongbow]

Shoulda practiced from my tree stand more.....

I fell over backwards off my Nifty seat, twice in one week. Not really an excuse, but now I cannot remember the excuse I had for not using my Huntmore chair.

Must have plucked the string!

that recurve just shoots flatter than my longbow!

I just blew it, dont know how, but I blew it!!

Must have shot the spine out of them arrows!!

The wind made my arrow plane...

God Bless,
Nathan

[Mike Most]

I aimed at the whole deer....

I didnt want to do all that gutting anyway...

[Shakes.602]

The Tree My Stand is in MOVED for Some reason...Scared the Poo Outta Me just as I was About to Release!!!

[Cyclic-Rivers]

My arrows were cut too short and they didn't quite make it to the deer!

[Aunty]

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Too heavy a bow will cause that sound too!

Charlie,
That sleeping excuse sounds like me. I couldn't tell you the number of times I have fallen asleep on a stand. Of course, that way I miss seeing the deer. When I miss hitting them it is the magnetic field making me miss.
Hope you are well.
Joe

A hawk thought my headnet was a squirrel....just as I was about to release.

[Shifting Shadow]

My true excuse: The buck was too close, I didn't know where to put the arrow!

My favorite excuse after reading this thread: To keep it fair chase, I first fired a warning shot over the head of the deer.

My new best excuse: Due to the intense magnetic activity of the sun causing an electric arc, the arrow veered off course.

Unfortunately, this rare phenonenon is due to re-occur on the 15th, my next hunting date.

"I had to take two steps to the left to get a clean shot, in my excitement I forgot I was in my hang on stand".

It's the economy's fault...At the moment I was about to release I remembered I had called in sick and there was no way my boss wasn't gonna hear about this big one so I missed on purpose so i could keep my job.

[BowHunterGA]

Bow mis-fired!

[chopx2]

Arrow fell off the string due to a defective nock just as I released.

The noise from the dry fire killed the buck from a heart attack but with no bloodtrail I never was able to find him.

[tradshooter]

I missed a good shot today, heck....I couldn't hit my butt with a banjo!

I'm sure that buck had an invisible force field around him and it deflected my arrow.
