Default RE: What was your worst hunt?

I went bowhunting one day three years ago in the late season.Lots of ice and snow.It was in the morning and the stand I was in had one big branch about 15 ft up you had to kinda duck under to get to the top step.No way to use a safety harness going up or down.I got one ft on the top tree step, and my hand and other foot slipped out of the crotch above.I fell headfirst but somehow the pantleg on my coveralls wrapped around the treestep and I was hanging upside down.I grabbed the closest treestep with hand, about the same time the ziopped in my pantleg ripped out, it was enough to allow me to swing around as I fell, I half assed landed on my feet and wound up on my back looking up but wasnt hurt other then a huge bruise on my leg.Then it dawned on me, my bow was still hanging 15 ft above me and Id have to climb back up to get it
