Here's another legendary dumb move (by me)

On the last day of 2001 archery season, I was home from PSU for the weekend. I cleared my calendar, and decided that I would take the first buck that I saw, then go small game hunting. I pulled off the interstate and away I went. The plan worked perfectly. I took a 5 point, dragged him down to the car and hid him in the brush. I switched my bow for my shotgun and went back into the woods in search of squirrels and turkey. 5 hours later, I returned to my car, and I could see something sitting on the roof... Yeah, it was my bow.

My brand new bow sat on the roof of my car unattended for 5 hours along the interstate, and nobody bothered to take it. I was so wrapped up in switching into small game gear that I inadvertently left my bow lay on the roof. Talk about feeling dumb.

I know another guy who drove away and his bow suffered a death by pavement. I lost the left half of a pair of good LaCrosse boots that way.
