Surprised!
Guys,
I was totally surprised yesterday. After work I rushed out to check my trail camera. Of course with the new snow fall traffic was horrible, but I finally got there. I was completely prepared.... remembered the key for the padlock, the replacement card and I even remembered to bring along a pair of boots instead of just wearing my work shoes. I started walking along the edge of a picked corn field. There was a lot of snow, at least a foot deep. It had finally stopped snowing around noon and there wasn't even a single set of tracks visable. I had made it about 40 yards from the truck when suddenly both of my feet hit some ice hidden beneath the snow.[:-] Normally, I'm known for my cat like reflexes, stealth and agility. The next thing I know is that I'm laying on the ground with my hands still in the pockets of my carhart! I sprang back up (like a cat) only to look down and see a perfect snow angel of sorts. This one was slightly different, you could see a perfect impression complete with profile of my ball hat, brim and all. Where my feet were, the snow was swooshed away as if I were running, sidways! Sort of like that "keep on truckin'" dude. Pleased with my handiwork I continued on my way. I was so pleased that when I let out a string of expletives I could see the snow fall off the trees almost 200 feet away. That surprised me too! [:-] BTW, I had 9 picks of 4 different bucks, a doe and a fawn. Nothing big though. Thanks for listening. |

RE: Surprised!
I'm thinking, since the brim of your ball cap was visible, somebody must have landed on their face....:eek: Man, I would have paid cash money to see the Gregster floppin around in the snow....:D:D And a man of your ag........I mean, maturity.....Glad you weren't hurt bud....:D:D

RE: Surprised!
Well thanks Gregh
You gave me a good laugh this morning[8D] |
RE: Surprised!
Thats why you old...er mature folks are supposed to shuffle along. It prevents possible hip breaking falls.

RE: Surprised!
I don't think I'd admit to face planting myself on this forum. Especially since you are so cat-like.
These guys are killers.  [/align] |
RE: Surprised!
Greg,
That entire thread has a TDWW feel to it. :DAt leastyou didn't get hurt lol. |
RE: Surprised!
Very amusing Greg....Thanks for the laugh
|
RE: Surprised!
Nothing like a slip and fall to hurt your back!! You be careful but remember the important thing is none of your hunting buds saw you do it..
 Not that they would have laughed..PS.. I have one of those nice walkers for the elderly in the basement. It even has front wheels. With a few modifications you could hang your bow and pack right on it.  CAREFULL.............You don't have to fall far to get hurt big. |
RE: Surprised!
someone remind me to check in on the thread after class hahah
 |
RE: Surprised!
I have been surprised like that before myself:D
I'm glad you didn't hurt anything. |
RE: Surprised!
What, no pictures of your handiwork? Not even a pic of the bucks on film? That should be a manlaw don't you think?
LOL, good thing you did not get hurt. It is nice to see some snow though. Dandbuck |

RE: Surprised!
When you jumped back up Did you look around to see if anyone seen you??? You know you did,We all do LOL!!!!!! Man all these replys about your age. Buy a few that I would say arent spring chickens themselves.:DGlad your ok!!!!!

RE: Surprised!
Greg, oen time I was riding my bike home in front of a shopping center as a kid....I rode right into a mud pit. The front tire sunk and I literally went head over handle bars in front of 100 cars at the stop light....right into the mud pit!! I don't know if a 13 year old kid could have anything more embarassing happen to them!
Slipping like that can be funny as hell, but damn as you get older it hurts a hell of a lot more. |
RE: Surprised!
LOL... I think some of us might have paid money to see that, Greg! :)
Thanks for sharing! |

Buy a few that I would say arent spring chickens themselves.:DGlad your ok!!!!! As for the age thing, yeah, what's up with that??!! Hasn't anyone ever seen a squirrel make a mistake and fall? They get right up and keep on going. Same here, no floundering just bounced right back up and kept going (after a period of admiration of course). Hence the clarity and high definition of the snow angel.[8D] |
RE: Surprised!
Anybody remember when John Laroquette trips over the pipe sticking out of the ground in 'Stripes'?
"Have that removed" Classic.;) ----------------------------------- (Deer to Deer......"Hey Bob....did you see that snow angel the smelly 2-legger left when he busted his ass?" "Yeah...that's art!" "Respect!") |
RE: Surprised!
LMAO!
You even have me laughing at myself, remembering a couple of snow angels that I've made! |
RE: Surprised!
Glad you're ok, must have been those cat like reflexes that saved you.[8D]
By the way, the last two evenings out I've seen 8 deer(2 bucks) Tuesday evening and 7 does yesterday. |
RE: Surprised!
There are only a couple reasons to have your hands in your pockets....
1. You dummy you remembered everything except the gloves... 2. This is a family site I can't discuss it.[&:] |
RE: Surprised!
Now that was good for a laugh, thanks Greg, i needed that!! :D
