I did! I still don't know what I forgot though but I definitely know I forgot something. I also forgot my favorite knife for my second sit. Luckily I always have 3 knives in my pack but I'm sure I was still forgetting something

I figure no one would believe me anyhow if I said I went out without any broadheads on my arrows, so I'll go with THAT,lol:lol:

Or how about being in a hurry & forgetting to attach quiver? Having NO arrows when you finally realize it up in the stand!!!:O

Nothing this year, but you only have to go thru one of these "Oh crap" moments or for us dumb-a$$' may need 2-3X, before you go thru the mental exercise of getting ready for 1st hunt. What do I have, what do I need, what am I forgetting????

LOL- it was bad enough that 2 out of 3 arrows had no head whatsoever, and the final one I plucked from my quiver was the only one that even had a field tip.

Just this past weekend I was doing a little in season scouting checking on sign in the old orchard. On my way there I set my bow down by a tree I was looking over to hang a stand. I made my way into the orchard and had a look around for a bit and then decided I'd seen enough and would come back in the morning to hunt my regular spot then move some stands around for the evening. I make it all the way back out to the road before I realized my bow was missing! I said screw that, I'll pick it up in the morning. Morning came and there she was laying in the darkness right at the base of the tree where I left it. Needless to say I'm off to a REAL rocky start  this year,lol.

I'm just not into it like I used to be anymore.

two years ago - me and two other guys went up to the Dacks for an early bear hunting weekend and some fishing.  An older guy went with us and he said he was bringing a savage 99 - 300 that his Dad gave him.  So that night i said lets see that gun , i want to check it out.  He opens the gun case and is just staring.... .  I look at the gun and ask him - "I thought they were a lever action?'  he goes ... I brought the wrong gun this is a .22.  lol He had taken the gun out and put it in a case and had an old 22 in a case laying out and grabbed the wrong case.   Yup brought a .22 to a bear hunt.  Laughed like hell though!    So we are out hunting and of course he stayed near us and just scouted and carried a pistol he brought.  But my other buddy whittled him a sharp stick to use.  We never saw a bear but laughed a damn lot!

Not this year but once i did forget something pretty important. A lot of my hunting years ago was the “squeeeze it in” variety between kids practices and family responsibilities etc. one time I ran home to grab the dog to make the hour drive to look for pheasant that I heard were recently released. Run home, dump the kids, grab all the gear for the dog, through the dog on the car and head out. 35 minutes later I have THAT FEELING of forgetting something. It was so strong I pulled over on the shoulder to check my trunk. NO GUN!
Boy was he pissed when we turned around and headed home.

Headlamp/tracking light on my first hunt.  Sorely missed trying to track in the dark!  Glad I had those expensive uncharged crazy bright wicked lights sitting at home.   lol

Headlamp hangs from top strap of pack, Fenix PD35 ( up,to 1,000 true  out the front lumens ) in pack, back up PD35 in truck , and Single cell Fenix on key ring , extra batteries in pack ..

I like flashlights .....
