I was just wondering if anyone has any storeis of some funny things that have happened to yall or maybe something you heard of happening to someone ither that or something dumb youve done, like last year, i got into the truck started it up and realized i diddnt have any pants on.....

Well it kinda nasty but....... I once took a pooooo(on public ground) when all finished I herd someone cough and the guy was less then 20 feet away in a climber (WATCHING) I always make sure I look high and low and in all directions NOW Sorry Guy's I thought it was funny at the time

The dumbest thing I've ever done was not using my safety belt while desending from a tree. I fell 20ft and broke my back. Now that was just plain stupid on my part. I always wear it now and my back is still broken. Bone chips in my syatic nerve. Oh well I was told I had a 70% chance Id walk again if I had the surgery and 30% Id be in a wheel chair. I choose to live with the pain everyday. That was back in 1991. Now safety is the utmost for me. Funny thing was I was taking a pooo while turkey hunting and 2 guys just happened to walk up while I was taking care of business. Talk about embarrassed. hehehehe

About four years ago I placed my climber at the base of the tree I was going to hunt the next morning, and locked it.I arrive at my stand while it's still dark the next morn and realize I don't have the key for the lock. I had to drive the 11 miles back home to get it and return before it got light, which I did. RESPECT!

I guess poo stories rein supreme here. Last season I also took a poo on public land using the standard lean up against a tree method. Well wouldn't you know about 2/3rds of the way through the job i hear "ccccrack." I landed left cheek first in my steaming pile of poo. Fortunately I had enough TP to clean up the mess. Note to self, pick a better tree next time.

Many years ago while archery hunting in West Virginia, I was after my second deer. Back then, your first deer could be either sex but your second had to be a buck. A legal buck was one that had to have at least a 3 inch spike on one side.

The farm I hunted was overpopulated with deer. the problem was, the buck to doe ratio was really outof whack. We saw lots of does but very few bucks. The bucks we did see were small. If you saw a six point, that was a decent buck, on that property, in those days.

We also hunted from the ground back then. We slowly still hunted and stalked deer with much success. The hilly terrain made stalksa bit easier.


Anyway, I was still hunting along the edge of a small field one morningwhen I got those gut wrenching cramps. You know the kind! Every hunter knows. I had to go now, right now.

I laid my bow on the ground beside me and undid my pants so I could do my business. I was squatting there and just pinched off a loaf, when I looked across the small field and saw a deer watching me. It was about 75 yards away, staring and bobbing its head. i looked through my binos and sure enough it was a buck. It was just a small spike but it was a buck.

Not being much of a trophy hunter I was dissapointed to be in such a predicament. As I squatted there wondering what to do, the spike jumped the fence and started sneaking along the edge of the woods, coming toward me. I got my bow in hand and waited. The small buck closed the distance to 35 yards. As he went behind a large oak tree, I drawed my bow. Keep in mind now, I'm still squatting over a fresh pile and still have my pants down.

As he stepped out and paused , I released my arrow through his ribcage.

I laid the bow back down beside me and finished my business.

This is a true story. Below is a pic of that buck. Yeah, its a little small but man what a story

PLEASE DONT ASK GERM!!! [:-][8D]

A former coworker had a funny story.

He hunted public land. It usually got a lot of pressure so he decided to get up extra early and get a jump on all the other hunters and get in the woods before everyone else.

He arrived extra early the next morning. There was no one there. He got out his bow and his gear and started to get ready. He realized he was really early and decided to just wait in his truck a little while before heading in the woods.

He started dozing off when he saw a car's headlight approaching. They pulled in beside his truck to hunt. In the process of pulling in beside him, they ran over his bow. He had it laying beside his truck ready to go.

He realized it was his fault and had no hard feelings towards the other hunters.

Can't help but wonder what went through his mind as he drove homewhen it was breaking daylight on the first day of the season.

One time I was going hunting with a good friend of mine, at his lease, and his gun was locked up at his granddads house where he left it...so I let him use one of mine. We found out it was locked after we already got to the house, which is right accross the street from the hunting grounds... back to my house we go for a rifle, about 10 minute drive. We get to the woods and I forgot the bullets[&:]... back to my house we go again... so now we are fashionably late and we finally get to the stand for about 45 minute sit before dark... thats the stupidest/funniest thing thats happened to me.

I have NEVER done anything dumb or silly out in the woods...Honest!


When I was younger I climbed this humongeous tree while carrying my 30-06...when I got to the top the view was awful anyways so I sat in the tree for about 20 minutes to get my rest then climbed back down,when I got on the ground another Hunter walked up with a big grin on his face.

A few years ago I had my Climbing Stand set up in a pretty small tree,opening morning I went out early to get up in the stand and as the morning went on the wind started to pick up really fast...then a nice Doe walked out about 125 yards away and I tried to shoot it with the tree swaying missed it 2 times and it ran off!

One Deer Season my Brother In-law was loading his 25-06 in the back of his Mom's laundry room and his gun went off and he shoot a hole in the linoleum floor...the hole was really small but really BIG where it came out when he went out to check under the crawl space in the garage that ran under the house.Luckily it hit in the dirt floor under the laundry room and not into the water lines,the water softeneror hit the electrical box a few feet away!

I know a friend that was hunting about 20 years ago with 2 of his other friends and they all went out hunting together and on the way home they all climbed into his 1978 Camaro,when one friend climbed into the front with his rifle it went off and he shoot a hole through the floor board! [&:]Luckily no one got hit
