Doc Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Getting old really sucks. Somehow I got the idea that November 17th was this coming Saturday. That's the problem with being retired ..... dates and times only mean something when you have a doctors appointment or something .... lol. So anyway, there I was this afternoon pounding the hell out of my shoulder, sighting in the shotgun like a dummy thinking I would be using it in a couple of days. When I came in, I got on the computer and happened to look down at the date, and immediately figured out that even though things are all zeroed in real nice with the Ithaca, I am about a week ahead of myself. I was already writing this archery season off as a failure and now it turns out that there is a very good week of bowseason left. Big dummy!

First-light Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Wow Doc, imagine if you went out there Saturday and shot something!! Hey you caught yourself and that's what counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdswtr Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 LOL not even that old yet and I can relate. I remember one year the last weekend of bow someone showed up at camp with all there gun gear switched out for there bow gear ready to go. Sure seemed like a long drive home and back to camp again that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 I can't remember ever getting that far out of wack with the calendar, especially when it comes to a hunting season. That could have gotten real ugly ... lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Lmao, at least you caught it today rather than Saturday when the gamey tapped you on the shoulder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 lol like all above statements i could have been worse. but on the plus side you still have a full week to rest the shoulder knowing that you are sighted in. best of luck to you one the real opener.

nyslowhand Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Getting old really sucks. .............. That's the problem with being retired ..... dates and times only mean something when you have a doctors appointment or something .... lol. Especially bad during deer season when the days sitting in the tree all seem to run together. Bet there are a lot of the working class that wish they had this problem..?

No spiral pad yet, but then maybe it's getting about time for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
