Forget something?
 
Is there one thing you somehow always manage to forget when you leave for the stand?

For me, it's a pen. Don't seem too important, but here in KY you must call the deer in and fill out yer tag before yer even legally allowed to move it.

Always forget my camera in the truck. Now that I have binocs with a camera in them means I have that problem solved.

Plenty of things. Either my air cushion seat, my flashlight or orange cap.

I usually don't ever forget anything, but one time I did leave my bullets in the truck [&:]:eek:

I could make a laundry list of this left behind on different hunts: lowering line, boots, release, gloves, face mask...... There always seems to be something no matter how hard I plan.

I do the majority of my deer hunting in the Highpeaks region of the Adirondacks. Gun and ammo is a given, but I double check for map, compass, knife, dragrope,flashlight, license, pen, and foam pad. If I don't have it all, my day, historically is F#@%ED.

One of my cardinal rules: Majority of my hunting method is still hunting, sneaking around slowly. After sitting abit, ALWAYS look back at the spot you were sitting before leaving the area. Many times I have left gloves, hat, or map on the ground.

Then there is the matter of things that fall out of my climber once I'm where I want to be. A hunting partner of mineknocked his brand new bow out of the bow holder this past bow season.

On (what ended up being) my last hunt of this year, I must have left my safety rope on a tree. When I went out the next time, I could not find it! [:@]

Ohio is the same way. I have several in the truck but somehow forget to have one on me. I've had to be creative a time or two. Fortunatly I have never been checked draging one out where I hunt. I imediatly fill it out. A few years ago I did not know you needed to do this. so I'm getting better at it.

I fogot almost everything at one time or another. The most recent big thing was forgetting the caps for my daughter and my muzzloaders on a recent hunt. The drive put us in late and ruined the hunt...well at least for seeing deer. Still a good hunt. :)

How do those work for you. Do you like them? How do those pics turn out. I was looking at those but it seemed the quality of both the camera and the Binos wheren't very good, at least at the time. Thats been a while. Would be very handy though if they optics are good enough and the camera keeps up too.

Just curious? Does forgetting your legally required pen make you a POACHER???;););););)

the dumbest thing I ever forgot was my release.....and I saw more deer that day than any other day that season. I always forget something though....usually binocs.

You have to call it in before you can even move it?
Man that would be a major PITA!! I don't get phone service where I hunt.

I think I can top any of the other posts and its not really a matter of what I forgot to bring its what I forgot to not bring. Last year when when I got out to where I was going to hunt I realized that I had not taken the gun lock off the gun and as the keys were at home, it wasn't coming off. Luckly I happened to have my bow out there so I was able to use that.

I forget the same thing, except it was the locks on my gun case, went all the way back and unlocked it, and sure enough i noticed my wallet layin on my bed. Had my huntin license in it of course, and was obviously meant to be cause i killed my first deer that night. ;)[8D]

I got into my tree stand on a bowhunt and realized I forgot my release. 1/4 mile back to the truck for that.

i always forget my flashlight, and walking out of the woods in pitch black with a dinky cell phone for a flashlight is always fun.

I forget my pen and tag fasteners sometimes,i once forgot to chamber a bullet while on my stand,and a big buck came and stopped 40 yds away and by the time i chambered a bullet he was off and running but was still able to get a shot off and get the deer.the deer was a nice eight point.

I always get dressed in the woods. A few times over the past two years, I have been setup and ready to go when I realized I was still wearing my baseball hat.
I forgot to make the change to my hunting hatl. I felt kinda stupid all dressed in camo with a blue Red Sox hat. :eek:
