RE: What's the dumbest thing you ever did?
 

Well for me it was one day when me and my bro were wade fishing the Elk River around my house. We were on the opposite side of the river from where my truck was parked and the river had risen a little since we had started. Well we get the bright idea to swim acrossed the river instead of walking to the shoals and crossing. So I take of with my fishing pole in one hand, swimming with the free hand with wading boots on. I make it about half way acrossed and decide to see if the water was shallow enough to walk because I was tiring fast. I go under the water to find the bottom and of course I can't touch and by the grace of God was able to gethead back above the surface butby then thepanic was setting in. Well when I calmed down enough to think I dropped my new fishing rod and rolled over to my back and swam the rest of the way acrossedthe river. When we got out of the water my brother asked if I was going back after the pole and I told him God had got me out of that river and I wasn't in no hurry to test his patience.:D

circa "Black Sheep" with Chris Farley and David Spade.

I've done that myself. Such a boneheaded move.

Aside from that...

"dated" two chicks at the same time. Only Macgyver could pull that one off.

so many to think of two quick ones. Last year was fishing got my repala stuck on a dock rather then going over to it and getting it off I yank it. My buddy who was at an angle in front of me to get hit ducks at the last second not giving me time to react and I get a treable hook in my lip so deep I went to the er to get it removed. Pretty funny to see a 5 inch repala hanging from a lip. Then just saturday was out carp shooting and I was around this pond and in the center was a sandbar that was about a foot out of the water and dried and cracking surface. Around it is knee deep water I walk through the water and the ground isnt sinking so I think cool and let my gaurd down stepped up onto the sandbar only for it to be mud like quicksand go up to the top of my hips and instantly. start scrambleing for shore/swimming make it fine but sure did freak me out I dont know if I ever did hit the bottom I dont think I did and worst part was I was alone so it could of been bad.

Lots of dumb stuff in general, but for hunting, on opening day of rifle season I didn't realize until I was in my stand that I forgot to put my bullets in my pack. That was pretty frustrating (this was back when I only gun hunted). Since I was dropped off, I had to walk back to the truck, and it was of course locked. [:@]

I'm pretty absent minded, so now I have like a 12 step routine before I leave the truck.:D

In 48 years , I have done a few dumb things. :)

One that sticks in my mind happened when I was 17. My BIL and I were going to shoot one afternoon, and I decided that I was going to take a large mound where some RR tracks had been at about 60MPH on a gravel road. My 1966VW Beetle made it ok (airborne) but when we got on the other side I slid back and forth and ended up stratling a ditch with my bumper in a pine tree. A farmer came along and helped us out. When my stepfather found out, I lost the car for a month. I deserved it.

I hate when I get in my climber and start the climb, get set up and go to pull my bow up and realize I forgot to attach it to my bow!!!!!!! That will never happen but once a season![&:][8D]:D
