I myself have had a few, but one of the worst, if not the worst was my birthday two years ago. we got out of school early, so i got home showered and everything and headed out. got to my stand at 1 o clock, really early but i like to get in early. Frickin deer out on the field scared off. then i had deer bedded right by my stand (on the edge of a field) scare off. started climbing my stand and my foot slipped off the peg and i darn near fell, got up in my stand and look at my rubber boot... Slit right in half. so im sitting there just caus it was my birthday but i was ticked off. a lil 8 point came out and snorted at me, caught my wind. By now i was about madder than a skinhead watchin the jeffersons, and a storm was coming in so i figgered with the luck i had been having i might as well head in. luckily i made it home, but i make it a point NOT to hunt my birthday anymore
