Yep tight boots cut off blood flow and makes your feet get cold faster.

Don't drive to work when you're heading hunting (although work is on the WAY to my hunting spot)....

Don't sharpen your knife and leave it on the counter...

Don't forget the key to your trigger lock (which is why I switched to combo locks[&:] )

Remember to get gas the night before, because at 3am most of the gas stations are closed....

Always bring spare gloves, socks and hats...seems I lose at least one glove and a hat each year...

Biggest oops of recent...pulled the batteries from the mini-mag and stuck them in the charger for full juice. Out the door the next morning, grabbed the light and off to the spot. At 4:30am, couldn't figure out why the "charged batteries" weren't working...come twilight, I realized they were still home in the charger [:@]

This isn't an "oops" or a "don't" but several years ago, my brother and I were out bowhunting on a large track of state land. Neither of us saw any deer from our stands. We walked back to the truck for lunch and laid our bows on the hood. As we were standing behind the open doors of the rig getting our sandwiches and drinks, a nice wide 8 point comes out of nowhere with his nose to the ground heading straight for us. My brother and I both saw the buck at about the same time and he said something like "Dan! Buck!". The deer was only 15 feet from the front bumper and he lifted his head when he heard my brother speak. Had Mike not said anything to startle the buck, he may have knocked himself cold on the bumper...
