Last year on September 17 (second day of season) i forgot my relase. No big deal right? I was running the camera for my roomate who was going to try and get a doe with his bow. I told him i would take him to a really good spot, but i also told him that there was a big boy hanging out in the area and if he came in, i would switch him spots.

...what do you know the big boy came out and i was without a release! He had to UNVELCRO his making quite a bit of noise and get it to me. In the end it all worked out but it was very intense there for a little while! :D

I forgot to once...and had deer walk in at 20yds and stand there broadside for 35 minutes eating:(

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

I waxed my bowstring last night....and attached my release aid to the bow.

It's set.;)

My cousin forgets his license every other year up northWi for gun season.[:@]

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

As simple as that sounds, I left my bowcase in the garage last Saturday and didnt realize it till I was getting on the highway! [:@]

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

I always, always velcro my release to my bow now. I usually buy an extra one if we are going out of state to hunt.

:DLast year my dad forgot to buy his licence. He tore apart everything he packed and called his wife to try and find it. It's a good thing he didn't shoot anything.

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

I didn't realize I forgot my bow until I was all sprayed down, with my treestand and daypack on my back, and flashlight already strapped to my head.

That's one of those moments in time, and feelings... that words really can't describe. [:-]

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

Guilty of this last year...was using my climber, got up about 35 feet in a beech tree, awesome spot, reach down to grab my bow rope...and there was nothing attached to it. So, down I go, re-hook, climb up, pull up bow..and now sweat is raining down and I'm pissed off. Needless to say, not the best hunt I ever had!

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

Haven't ever forgotten the bow, but I have left the release in my truck before. Wasn't too happy that day...

thanks for the reminder:)

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

ive left college and got half way home on a friday, hoping to be on stand by 3 at the latest and realized there aint no bow in my truck. at school i lock it up at the campus police department. well...when all you think about thursday and friday is gettin on stand friday after class, well...you tend to be in a hurry. done it a couple times lol...its a 2 block drive to the police station..but i do forget lol.

once i went to go squirrel hunting when i was 16. was taking my 22lr. grabbed a box of shells and the small game coat and opened the case to make sure it was the 22. scope, wood stock..yep...get there, i got a 308...i felt like a fool. just by peeking at the rifle they look similar..same color wood and similar scope...

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

I'll never attach my release to my bow string again(not implying that's what you did, your post just reminded me of this).

The night before opening day of fall bow 3 years ago, Iclipped my release to my bow string right on top of the bottom camand set iton top of my case for the next morning. That night my brother and his girlfriend came for dinner. While I was cleaning up my bro went and pulled my bow back and therelease wrapped around the cam, cracking it.....as well as popping the string off.

Stupid on my part for leaving it on top of the case, and clipping the release to my string.Needless to say I learned two lessons.

I spent that Saturday at the pro-shop instead of the field.

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

Never forgot the bow. Myrelease fingers are attached. But arrows............Left them home once, but not on a hunt luckily.

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

LOL....ya know, I posted actually posted this as a way of busting on someone; I had no idea it had actually been done before......I can understand leaving the release at home or something...........I had no idea.....Guess the joke's on me, huh? [&:]:eek:

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

I always keep an extra release in my fanny pack just in case.

A friend of mine took his son out gun hunting for deer a couple of years back. They drove two hours south..got out and realized his son forgot his bullets. He had him make a sign and stand out on the side of the road asking for bullets. I think some guys stopped feeling sorry for him[>:] and gave him a couple.:D

Making a list and checking it twice.

Easiest thing to do is make a list. (my wife would be proud of me making that statement) I learned many many years ago to make a list. I was scuba diving down on the jetties in Panama City Beach FL. We got back home and started washing our gear when I realized I had left my weights on the beach. From that point on I made a list and checked it before we left home and before I packed out. I never left anything again. I will be honest...I don't do that for hunting because I have everything together but it is so easy to do in the heat of the moment to get out there.

Also, if you have a thumb release you may want to buy an extra one and put in your backpack or whatever you carry up to the stand. I dropped mine last year but fortunately it stayed on the stand platform.

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

Dont know about leaving your whole bow, but for sure your release

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

Only you would pull a dummy like that!

RE: Don't forget the MOST important item.....
 

I forgot something last year and told myself I'd never do that agian. Can't remember what it was.:eek:
