Left my release first day out this year... won't make that mistake again. I don't have a problem shooting with my fingers, but my draw is set for my release, so thankfully no deer came by that evening.
That's about the extent of what I have forgotten... I have only been at it for 3 years now, I'm sure I will have a few more stories 10 years from now.
Oh, I did leave my bow, and about 10 other things at my stand after I shot my deer this year. Hubby had told me to get out of the woods and let the guy lay down and die, so I did. I guess I thought he meant once dark hit we were gonna go back and track, but he meant he was gonna finish his hunt and come back a few hours later... so I had trekked all of the way to the truck, had to turn around, go back and get everything... only to realize halfway BACK to the truck, my phone wasn't in my pocket like it was on the way back to the stand. I had bent over at some point in the woods and it fell out. BACK I went, finally found my phone after 15 minutes of searching. Started my trek back to the truck, went to cross the ditch and there was a deer on the other side, so as not to disturb it, I had to go way in the heck out of my way (wasn't even familiar with it) to get back to the truck. By the time I got back to the truck, hubby's hunt was nearly over and I only had to wait 5 minutes! LOL I'm an idiot!
