Things that you'll never do again.
 

Mines pretty simple, get up to move with out slowly lookingaround.

Think just because a tom stops gobbling he's gone. Take a questionable shot through thick cover. Fail to bring thermacell or spray when hunting warm temps. Fail to bring toilet paper. Fail to be patient, and that's tough for me. Forget to bring a mask and gloves. I still killed the turkey though, somehow. Bring decoy with me hunting and forgetting the stake. I had to use a stick instead. The list could probably go on. We have all messed up and we don't want to repeat our mishap. Problem is, we probably will anyway.

I will try and rememeber when my instincts tell me to stop and setup instead of just calling, I'll do....Missed a huge opportunity last year for a really big Tom...I called when I should have set up, he walked right out, I wasn't ready nor was my brother in law and we watched him fly off with our shotguns on our shoulders.

Done that one Firelt.

I'm sure we have all done that.

I only have things that I say 'I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN',,,,,,,,,, I usually do them again sometime in the future to make sure its still a bad idea;)

Take the gunsmiths word that he boresightedthe new red dot scope he installed on my shotgun. Missed a great gobbler from 20 yards, only to find out later on the range that it was shooting 3 feet low at 20 yards!

Regardless of my intentions, or what I may think might happen; I will NEVER again go spring turkey hunting in shorts and/or sandals.

I wore cut off camos and sandals on a bow hunt last year during the last week of the season. Temperature was hot.... upper 80s and I was going to be sitting in that roast box of a ground tent. Of course I wasn't honestly expecting much action.... but I felt obligated to go anyway.

As luck would have it... I arrowed a bird at 26 yards... hit him perfect and he ran about 30 yards and burried up under a blowdown so thick the rabbits wouldn't have gone in. I had to fight my way through the thickest crap in the woods and ended up looking like I'd fought with a weedeater and come out second best. Not to mention the poison oak and chiggers and ticks I contracted. But I got him though. First turkey with a bow... on my firstturkey hunt carrying a bow.

Never again.

They say you learn something everyday!!!

Take my brother inlaw turkey hunting

RE: Things that you'll never do again.
 

Boresighting a shotgun is not the same as boresighting a rifle. It only gets you close. The pattern your gun throws will be different with different loads and even brands of shells, after boresightng experiment with which shell/manufacturer gives you the best pattern in your gun, then sight that pattern in with your red dot scope. Shoot only that brand/load shell, another brand/load will probably shoot differently. At least this is true out of my cheap old Mossberg 500.

Ditto on every one of those ;)

Kick an armadillo. Don't ask me why I did it... I was walking to my treestand in 9th grade and saw an armadillo about 2-3 yards away in the bushes.Out of nowhere, I though it wouldbe funny to kick it. Ijust kicked the life out ofthe poor thing...I didn't think that I'd kill it. :(

RE: Things that you'll never do again.
 

There just a possum with a shell... I run possums over every time I see one... Help save a few turkey nest;)

RE: Things that you'll never do again.
 

HOLY CRAP!!! I have to agree! But I didn't kill mine. I snuck up to it, and kicked it, and it about broke my foot. I fell over in agony.

Not one of my brightest moments...[&:]

Put those cheap none adjustable fiber optic sights on my turkey gun...

RE: Things that you'll never do again.
 

You kicked an armadillo too?!? I thought I was the only one!!! :D

RE: Things that you'll never do again.
 

I forgot both mine and my fathers damn guns one afternoon after work
