Brought my ML into the cabin over night. Moister got into the powder and the next morning had a buck 15 yards from me broadside, a chip shot. Pulled the trigger and it was like a roman candle out of the barrel. Thing landed in the snow 5 feet from him. He bounded off and I laughed.

My buddy did that a couple years ago. I was in a stand a couple hundred yards away and heard the psssst. Starting laughing cause I knew exactly what that sound was.

About 20 yrs. ago I drove 1 1/2 hrs. for opening day of firearm deer season and found out I left my jacket home.It was very cold but luckily another guy had an extra jacket he let me borrow. I had a detachable quiver another time and climbed a tree with a climbing stand only to see the quiver lying on the ground disconnected from the bow.I had to climb back down and get it. I drove home from bowhunting once and couldn't find my bow in my truck,damn I left it on the ground near the woods.I had to drive an hour round trip to retrieve it.Those are only the ones I can think of- there are more,I'm sure.

I took my son out on a youth waterfowl hunt one year on Columbus Day weekend. Well, the damn "youth hunt" was slated to be held Sunday & Monday, NOT Saturday. Guess who had a good hunt on Saturday? Oooooppps....

A number of years ago my buddy and I spent two nights in a Gang Mills hotel room while hunting PA. The second morning we checked out of the room at around 5:30am and headed uo to our PA spot. I went to the back seat of the truck and "gasp".....my rifle was not there!! I left it in the hotel room. Crap, 25 minutes each way and plenty of lost time but I got my rifle no problems.

1. Drove 3/4 of the way to my hunting spot when I realized I left my hunting license at home. Drove all the way home to look for it but couldn't find it...then I realized it was in my bag which I had with me the whole time.

2. Drove to hunting spot and realized I forgot to bring ammo.

3. My tree stand adventure.

Back in 08, i spotted what was my biggest buck ever out in a field with a doe that he would not leave. After jumping them, and tracking into a thicket, i got a broadside shot at 100 yards with my 30-06. Pulled up and the gun went click.. i loaded the clip but didnt put one in the chamber. Thankfully i shoot a pump rifle, and buried him once i got a round in the gun..

First time I used my new 54 caliber muzzleloader for deer- Loaded it in the cabin before leaving for my ground blind. Placed percussion cap on it at blind. About 1 hr. later ther biggest 10 pointer I have ever seen came about 20 yards away from me. Pulled hammer back and only thing that went off was the cap. Good bye deer. Placed new cap on it and it fired. Lesson learned was to fire caps before loading gun.

Got in the habit if strapping my bow to my pack on the way out of the woods. The other day I hear a lot of noise and figured I scared some deer but noticed the noise was getting closer. A few seconds later about ten deer pass me by and low and behold this huge 10 pointer is standing 10 feet from me. Needless to say I now carry my bow out of the woods and no longer strap it to my pack.
