Wow, that sucks

I once drove an hour in the early morning darkness to realize I'd left all my arrows at the house.
Makes for a lot of head shakin!

So far no luck here! But sure sounds like world war 3 going on. Shots started at 6:30 this morning!

 

[ghitch75]

heard only 4 shots....lots of squirrels and birds no deer....

 

[Titanium Man]

1 shot...........not mine, but I saw a black mink run across the path in front of my quad when I was driving out. Pretty sweet.

 

[Bounty Hunter]

Once drug the canoe out only to find out paddles were still in the shed!!!

Saw nothing this morning. Put out x-mas lights this afternoon.

Still not sure how that happened.

Heck of a way to start the season. At least you didn't leave your gun at home, like somebody I know did several years ago.

 

[AGarbers]

Don't feel bad. Judging from all the shot strings I heard I think some folks left their shooting skills at home.

Yes it was a morning to remember.

We had one heck of a fight across the road between two property owners arguing over property lines/someone shooting onto the others property. I finally gave up after 30 minutes of them yelling at each other, and I was 100+ yards away. Went to the back of my property and hunted there all morning.

I walked back up there after 2 hours, and there were 3 State Cops trying to sort out the mess.

Left the 3 new boxes of 12 ga slugs on the kitchen counter last year. Arrived at the hunt spot and found 1 loose slug in my hunting vest, and bummed 2 off my partner. Started raining, then wind changed to snow, and decided that this was over. Walked out,met my partner, returned the 2 slugs, and had a 8 pointer race across the parking area in front of my eyes! Didn't shoot(too close to the roadway), but reversed my travel, and stayed out for another couple of hours. Not a deer in sight.
You know, I believe a day hunting(even not shooting) is still better than a day working or going to Kmart with wifey. Good luck all hunters.

Hat be damned, i'd a still hunted.

I always triple check my gear before hunting, I usually have all my gear on the dining room table several days in advance. But as fate would have it I almost always forget something. This year I forgot toilet paper, and although I used leaves, it made me mad as hell that I forgot the charmin.

My list of hunting issues this year:

Went out one morning, had quiver attached to xbow. Quiver became detached from xbow. Lost two arrows.

Walked out one morning, Arrow cracked on the way to hunting spot.

Opening gun season. Massive bodied 6 point walks in, fired shot, missed, reloaded, fired second shot, missed again. Hunting partner took shot, he missed. Come to find out, the scopes lost their 0.

Drove to my lease in bow season only to realize my bow was in my case.... in my garage!!
