Committed the cardinal sin against a hunting buddy

[Wayno]

Wednesday night, I invited a friend from church to go hunting with me this morning. He was to be at my house at 5:00, so we could make the 30 minute drive to the front gate of the ranch and be in the treestand set up by 6:00.

Well, I woke up at 5:40. I had my alarm set on my watch. However, it was cold this morning, so we had the heavy comforter over us. I guess it muffled the alarm enough that it didn't wake up me or my wife. Being upstairs, we never heard the doorbell or my phone ringing, because it was charging downstairs. After several apologies, we've made plans to go this afternoon. Hopefully, he'll get a good buck, then everything will be fine.

I'll never live this one down.

No you won't!


I had a buddy do that to me years ago on a fishing trip...If I'da had the keys to his truck, I'd a took his boat and left w/o him. He's dead to me now.

That right there is enough of a reason to let him drink on your tab next time yall go out!

[Codie]

ouch - I have been on your invitees end before and it's pretty dang frustrating - Hopefully he is a good enough person that yall can just laugh about it in the future

Oh, we'll laugh, but it will be at my expense.

I have slept in before instead of going by myself, but this is the first time that I have done it when someone else was counting on me.

Yep,,,,,,,did that once,,,paid for it for years,,,until i got him on the lease,,at least your tires still had air in them?

I could strap a watch to my ear-drum and still not wake up to a watch alarm .

Hopefully this evening's hunt will be great and make up for it

Good thing you're Church buddies. This one is going to take a lot of forgiving on his part.

[Codie]

hey at least he didn't drive 8 hrs across the whole state of Texas to get no showed by his guide at 4AM - I DID!

[NannySlayer]

Could have been worse.. You could have PURPOSELY ignored him... Or shot the buck he's been watching!

I have had this happen to me.... me and my buddy were going duck hunting.... I go to his house... nothing no lights not a thing. I call no answer. I start to get worried but finally hes a little late but we actually still had a Real Good Hunt!

If it makes you feel any better this is the only buddy I am still real close with after college (hes on two of my leases)

HA HA! I've been that guy. Back in high school a friend that had a good spot on Lake Sommerville was going to take me along with a few other guys. He tried calling me and I never heard that or my alarm, so he then came by the house (2 houses from his). Tried knocking, but that didn't work. Luckily we didn't lock the side door that night and he came in and woke me up. I had to hear about that one for a while. I'm pretty sure I got up and ready in about 3 minutes to make up time
