I'm such a pathetic excuse of a hunter.

[enewman]

I knew a guy once that went to his stand with a Mathews bow.

Hey. That's me

[boy wonder]

As a "guide" on a youth hunt (does only) forgot the bullets first morning. Never told the kid, luckily all we saw were some really nice bucks.

Why don't you come out to the Hilton on Jan 3?

We don't want you to hunt, but always enjoy having a clown in camp.

Moral of the story, use bigger blinds!





Jk, if I never messed up it would be because I've never bowhunted. I have a detachable stab, and it is forgotten about 25% of the time.

Crap happens. I'm notorious for forgetting my release, but luckily I've always realized about halfway to the stand. I just switched to a thumb release and I don't want to clip it on my string because I'm afraid I'll bump the trigger while walking and lose the sucker.

[BO-N-ARO]

I figure if you have one more drink, you wont care about the hole in the blind....

This thread sounds like an old TK and Mike episode

[lbbf]

Don't sweat it. I have 3 holes in my pop-up and have never drawn on a deer while in it.

[drop dead fred]

Last season openin day got in stand realized I didn't have my arrows then realized I left them at home... Set there praying I wouldn't see anything! An of course saw one of the biggest bucks I've seen to date I wanted to throw up!

Early this season, had my window flap part of the way down, drew on a doe without realizing I hadn't raised up high enough. Shot through two layers of the window fabric as well as the mesh. Funny thing was, it still hit where I was aiming, and got the doe.

[BigL]

It happens.

I accidently triggered my release recently when trying out a new broadhead and shot it right over the target. I looked for hours and couldn't find the arrow. Luckily SilentAssassin found it when building my fence. I'm just glad that none of my kids or the neighborhood kids found it.

I thought I had this bowhunting thing down, been practicing and was shooting good groups. It was cold this particular morning so I had my nice warm coat on and a doe came in. Now I had been practicing in warmer weather and didn't take into account the bulkier clothes that I was wearing and when I touched off the release it sounded like a gun went off in my blind. The string had gone across my coat and sent my arrow into parts unknown and the doe took off like she had been shot.

Another time I was drawing on some pigs. I got drawn but couldn't move my bow to get aimed. Looked down and my jeans had rolled up in my cam when I was drawing.

But I never have shot a hole in the top of my blind,...yet.

I was trying to bow hunt one time out of a friend's plywood rifle blind. The windows were a little high and it was awkward but I thought I could make it work. A deer came by and I put my pin right on the vitals and squeezed one off. Ever wonder what it sounds like when an arrow from a compound bow hits plywood at a range of about 6"?

[60 Deluxe]

So what is your plan for finding the arrow? At that angle it could be a LONG way off. I hope it is not stuck in someones $2000 cow.

[Iansumrall]

I'm not sure about that but the 4 dollar nocturnal sure looked like a shooting star going through the air.

The Real question is where are you buying nocturnals for four dollars?!?! haha
