RE: Worst thing you forgot
My finger tab. I ended up getting a doe that evening too. I shot off my fingers and made damn sure I didn't pluck when I released the arrow. I practice without a tab here and there In case It happens, It paid off that night!
A good half a dozen other times I've forgot my flash light when bear hunting. It sucks walking out of a bear woods In pitch black without a light (nerve racking). It's a good thing we mark the tree's with knife slashes with our knives.

RE: Worst thing you forgot
I'm usually pretty organized...re-pack everything after each hunt but there are times when i'm so tired after back-to-back-to-back hunts that I "assume" everything is replaced in my pack after a hunt or at the very least it is in my truck.
Seems like I've forgotten at least one necessity at one point in time:
Release, bow rope, safety harness (on a windy day no doubt), binos, 1 glove, grunt call, but the worst the TP...and always at the worst times. LOL

Treestand?[&:]
I NEVER hunt with a climber, but my buddy specifically told me to bring my climber for this setup....get all the way to his house, and step out of the truck with the OH S*** feeling. The whole drive there I KNEW I was missing something too.

RE: Worst thing you forgot
Hunting - I made it about a mile down the road before I realized I forgot my arrows. I forgot I set my climber on the ground behind the truck and backed over it one really cold, dark night. [

Bowfishing - we made it couple of miles down the road and realized we'd forgotten the bows. Have forgotten the fish barrels several times. We bowfish from a pontoon boat. Ever try to stack carp on a flat deck?? Doesn't work.
