I was wondering if any of you guys/gals could post any bad luck or funny stories of forgetting something really important for a hunting trip. I was loading up my gear a few years ago and right before I left for the trip I found my removable clip was missing from my gun. After a couple of frantic hours I finally found it but that would've been really bad. I've forgotten calls and gloves but nothing too major. How about any of you?

well 1 time i forgot my shells. i swore they were in the pickup but it was only like 3 mile drive back home so it was no biggy. but the worste thing i for got was to take a crap before i left. that makes for along 4 hours of siting in the tree stand and a long walk home<img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>

One time I had to wake up very early to go to a quota hunt a few hours from the house. I grabbed all my gear, loaded up my gun, pack, and calls. Staggered out of the house at 3:00am and drove all the way to the hunt ground and got there just at daybreak. When I snapped out of my driving stuper, I Looked down, and was still wearing my pj's. I had a pair of clothes in the truck but I was very underdressed for the cold.

&quot;Hey ya'll, watch this&quot;

Mr.fishy I hear and feel that one.

Kodiak....LMAO. Must have been some tired not to get dressed.

I have forgot a host of things, knife, tag, gloves...but nothing compares to the wrath of a woman scorn. You see I left on week trip for moose, we decided to leave real early on saturday morning to get camp organized and well we were pumped and young. Well I did the most aweful thing a young married man could do (being we were married for only 2 months). Ready for this, I forgot to kiss my good bride good bye at the wee hours of the morn. Doesn't sound like much but she was choked and to boot we had a flat tire, blew a CV boot on the quad and ripped a hole in our yukon tent all in a matter of 12 hours. It was about midnight when I realized my mistake and a 2 hour drive (including quad to the truck) to get to a pay phone. Yeap, I did it 4 hours and 1/2 hour of sucking up and triing the old &quot;I didn't want to wake you or you looked so peaceful sleeping&quot; tricks. I then called my pal at 3 in the morning to tell him to order some flowers on my Credit Card to appease the situation. He of course thought I was drunk, did something really stupid and I couldn't get back in my own house. But as a true bud agreed and we proceeded to have the best moose hunt and returned home 2 days earlier than planned. Moral of the story &quot;make sure the home fires are burning before you light the camp fire on a hunt&quot;....things just go that much smoother.

Lame I know, but it is really the worst thing I ever did once. ( I still forget the other stuff now and then but it ain't nothing compared to the kiss BYE, BYE!!!!!!)

My sister,always the cautious one,opened up her gun case at hunting camp, some 60 miles from home. Too bad she forgot the key to her trigger lock, but it made it easy to decide who did the camp work and food prep while the men went hiunting...

Too many years ago,opening day,I was so excited I backed out the barn door with the truck door open.

Can it be a combination like release and seat pad for my tree stand. I had to sit in the snow on my stand seat and I couldnt shoot the deer<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

Always check your gun lock before you leave the house. Otherwise you may as well throw the shells at the game.
