Timbercruiser that is funny reminds me of the time when I was hunting at Bull Creek in Fla. and came a cross an armadillo that was rooting in the grass as I and my friends was going to our stands, I stalked up to the little critter and then urinated on it, I swear thats the thruth, its just a guy thing, kinda like writing your name in yellow in the snow. True story.

Annie, that was a pretty brave thing you did. Admitting to a mistake made while hunting. Like some of the others, it could've been disastrous but thankfully it was not. I'd almost bet that for every one honest person admitting to mistakes or accidents here, there are 30 that won't admit it or are too afraid to. Actually, some of these incidents scare the hell out of me, especially after having been shot in the back accidently on opening day last year with a 12 guage slug. Even under the best conditions, and having taken every precaution, accidents happen. I know for a fact they do now and I'm wondering if I'll ever be able to gun hunt again without whincing or wanting to hit the dirt every time I hear several shots in the woods. As long as we learn from our mistakes and don't make them again, we can be thankful no one was injured and laugh about it later.
Hope everyone has a safe and successful hunt this season.

Ciao,
Vinny

I would have to say my dumbest move was one time I was still hunting and came up on some does and a monster buck. I was bow hunting and out of range. I worked my way around to flank them. I went to a bluff that was where I had assumed they would be crossing at. I waited for a long time. As I was waiting I started needing to relieve my self. I held it as long as I could. I finally came to the conclusion that I had judged the deers movements wrong, so I went ahead and took a wizz off of the bluff. To my dismay I found my self with my pants half down and the does and monster buck right under me. The bluff was indented and the deer were in the shade right under me. I didnt get to take a shot, but if my urine was a bullet I would have been extreamly close to bagging one of the best bucks I had ever seen.

On another occasion I had went hunting and forgot a knife. I shot a buck and had to field dress it with a broad head. It wasnt the easiest thing to do.

My brother and I woke up in the cabin one night while we were on a deer hunt and we both were about to bust to pee. We went outside and started to let it fly. I looked over and saw the land owner's Airdale dog walk up behind my brother in the moonlight, hike his leg and start peeing on my brothers leg. He jumped, hollered, turned around, and said you SOB to the dog. He asked me why I didn't warn him. I was laughing so hard I was spraying every where. I wasn't about to warn him.

Another time in the same cabin when it was very cold we stoked up the old potbelly stove with fire wood and cut the lights out and went to sleep. I woke up about to sweat to death and looked over to see the old stove glowing red in the dark. I opened up the door and everybody woke up from all the heat and commotion I was making. We were all scared to go to sleep then. We were afraid we would burn the building down.

I was trying to learn my nephew how to deer hunt one year. We got out of the truck and I was busy trying to help him load his gun and get his tree stand up on his back. We were running late that morning and it was fixing to break day. I threw my stand on my back and we took off. When I got to my stand I noticed I didn't have my rifle. I threw my stand on the ground and flew back to the truck to find that my rifle was still leaning against my truck. This was on a paved road and I was scared someone would ride by, see my rifle and pull over and drive off with it. I didn't tell my nephew about this until the next deer season. LOL
