This cant be good
 

I had a TERRIBLE dream last night. I dreampt that I drove 6 hours from here to the Upper penninsula for a nice long hunting trip and when I went to unload my truck I realized I forgot my bow[:@] .How many times have yall acutally done something like this? Seems impossible to me but im sure its happened!

Im not sure I would call that a dream, mabe a nightmare driving that long and all. I've never done it and hope I never do, but like you said im sure it's happened.

Great story Mauser06. Had a similar occurence myself once. 5 minute drive. Bow was in the case till i got there and realized it wasn't. After my palm hit my forehead a couple of times i laughed for ten minutes back n forth to the house and had a nice afternoon in the tree.
I would hate those circumstances if it involved a six hour drive though. That would be a bad deal.

just sounds like a perfect opportunity to find a local bowshop and buy a new bow. :D

lol my thoughts exactly!

I once drove45 minutes to find i didn't have the key to the trigger lock on the gun . I didn't have the time to go back and forth to go get it plus i was with somebody so i didn't want to wreck his hunt .

I was getting some shooting practice in before I headed out hunting one day. The phone rang, I set my bow down and answered it. Ended up talking on the phone for longer than I wanted. I was in a hurry and wanted to go to a stand that was going to be a long hike. So I grab my bow, jump in my truck, and off I go. Takes me about a half hour to get to my stand. I climb up, get all situated, go to knock an arrow ...................[:-] I left my quiver with my arrows on the ground where I was practicing.

Granted things get forgotten but never the bow, arrows or my release when driving to my hunting spots.

One night when I got back to my truck, I set the bow on top of the cab to dig for keys and put my gear away. It was really dark by the time I got back to the truck. I hopped in the truck and started driving. Kept thinking I was forgetting something. After about 3/4 mile it dawned on me. Looked back and no bow laying on the back seat!! [&:] [:o] Coasted to a stop whilecussing myself for being so stupid. Got out and the bow was still on top of the cab. :D

I have forgot my release in my truck a couple of times after I just get settled into stand. Had to walk all the way back to get it![:@]

Happened to my husband, first week of bowhunting season. It was funny as heck. He had just joined the bow club here and a few guys had invited him to hunt with them. He was really excited, but in a really big hurry! He has had that happen when he was coon hunting too, but out of the 5 guys, NO ONE had a weapon, so he didn't catch any grief for it.

I once hiked about a half mile through snow with a stand and climbing sticks, bow to find I had forgotten my arrows! I have to take my quiver off for it to fit in my case. I put the quiver in the back of my SUV, not in the case.

When I was in College a buddy and I drove three hours to Duck Hunt. When we got to the spot he realized he forgot his gun. That is a whole nother story with a long night as the excuse.

RE: This cant be good
 

Great story man! But why in the world would you drive that far for some squirrels?

RE: This cant be good
 

lol I dont think 10 minutes is that far!

RE: This cant be good
 

I have forgotten my release before, good thing I have a back up in my pack.

I leave my bow in the pickup all the time. It's a supercab and it just lays on the back seat. It's the last thing I grab on the way to the stand and the first thing put away when I get back. Once, though, I had it in the house for some reason and got all the way to my hunting spot before I missed it. It's only 8 miles, though. Once this year I started walking to my stand and got a couple of blocks before I realized I didn't have my bow.
