I try to get my wife to fool around... she won't let me wear my camo.

Mine keeps saying, "Take off that quiver! It's pokin my ribs!"

I deserved that. I deserved that.

Anyways... dumbest thing I ever did hunting huh?

See my post in the Quackin Up section under Duck Marsh. That should explain everything about my short reply here:

Go hunting with Grampa!

One winter bow season here in NJ, I took a shot at a large doe across a stream after she spooked from under my stand. She stopped about 25 yards from me directly across the waterway and gave me a beautiful broadside shot. I drew, aimed and released in a matter of one or two seconds but couldn't tell if I hit her or not. After debating with myself for a while, I decided that my only option was to strip down to my undies and wade the cold chest deep water to see if I connected. Fortunately for me, I missed completely and nobody spotted me wading the stream in January in my tighty whiteys!
Lesson learned: don't shoot across waterways.

My brother-in-law and I were out coon hunting one night when about midnight we went back to his house for a quick snack and more coffee. Heading out to hunt some more this time we jumped into my truck and drove 20 miles to another woods. When we stopped and got ready to let the our hounds out of the dog box, we relized we had left the dogs in my brother-in-laws dog box in his truck. We just looked at each other, laughed and said, I won't tell anyone if you don't tell. But of course the story leaked out some how.

dumbest thing I ever did was use a dead limb as a step leading into my stand. I hunted that stand several times that season until in broke. I fell straight down 25'....landing on my feet before crumbling into a ball. My knees jammed into my chest knocking all of the air out of me before I rolled to the ground. To add insult to injury....my bow followed me down and hit me in the head.

Once I got my breath back....the only think that hurt was my head. I was very lucky!!!!!!

It wasn't me but my dad. It was opening day of deer gun season and I was a junior in high school and I think dad expected me to do everything. He and his best friend hunted the valley and my best friend and I hunted the ridge so we took seperate trucks. Now you have to understand my dad's s10 had glass pipes or some other contraption to make it sound like a German tank which echoed even worse through the valley. So we're sitting in our stands before dark itching for the season to start and all I hear is dad's truck leaving then coming back an hour and half later. Come to find out he forgot to put his gun in the truck so when he went to get it from behind the seat he looked at his buddy and said "The d#$# kid forgot to put my gun in." Boy I always ask him from that day on "do you have" and he stops me and says ya I made sure you didn't forget. Oh what memories.

My brother in law stops by and says his wife will bb-sit the kids lets go hunting. In a rush I grabbed my kids and my gear and we take off to the woods. I get to the stand pull my bow up and realize I grabbed my 12 yr olds bow!
