RE: Dumbest thing you've done in the deer woods
Missed the same buck twice, I thought I shot high the first time, so I aimed 5yds shorter the second. When climbed down to retrieve the arrows and stood there looking back at the stand trying to fugure out what happend I realized I didn't shoot high, I shot in front of him - both times. My site had been knocked loose hoisting my bow up that morning.

A few notables:
[ul][*]Going bowhunting and leaving the bow at home. Great feeling;[*]Hunting with an unloaded gun;[*]Closing the (locked) door while I was taking awee andletting my car warm up after a long day's hunt in West Virginia. Cell phone and all my gear already conveniently packed inside. It's hard to walk away from your car to call for help when the headlights are on, it's running, and you have a $1200 deer rifle laying on the back seat;[*]"Dude, I lost the coon hound."[*]I drove away one time with my bow on the roof of my car. Well, it was on the roof until I went around the first bend. At that point, it was no longer on the roof, and went bouncing down the road. [/ul]
The King admits, he's had his fair share of misadventures.

how about being attacked by 7 raccoons and fighting them off by swinging my arrow around at them, and then having a giant jump up 15 yards away when i started screaming at them

Ed, it is not natural to smear feces on your face. [:'(]

Just use it as face paint, it's natural right!

The "action" of doing this is not natural, but the product itself is natural.
Gives the saying "got egg on my face" a new meaning.?? Enough poop talk already

You are correct sir!

Mr.H - Me joke also!
Kidding aside, it's hard to tell someones facial expressions or tone of voice while typing.
I'll just let everyone know that I love to joke around and if you haven't figured it out, I do so with sarcastic humor.
This is way different from regular sarcasism, as I'm having fun and not being condescending.

Ran over my bow. Layed it down when I got to my vehicle, climbed behind the wheel just to rest, forgot about the bow and took off. I dusted it off, and it was ok. Bent my sights and a few arrows, but otherwise ok.
Was hunting a bucks only area once (landowner's call), a doe comes running in, I decide to stop her just for practice. It works perfect but then she spooks, and there was a buck behind her that then went around me. What was I thinking?
