JDAWG Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Folks, I was wondering, what's the funniest thing that has ever happened to you while you were out in the field? For me, one of the funniest things that happened was when I was hunting with my uncle one morning and we came up to the electric fence on our farm. When my uncle tried to step over the fence, he didn't make it and it got him right in the worst place (you fellas know what I mean), but the funny part of it was that he fell into the fence and got twisted in it all while the fence is sending electric charges through him. It took me 15 seconds to react because I was laughing so hard. So what about you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bucks-R-Us Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hello Everyone I would like to introduce myself. My name is Steve, I have been bowhunting going on 40 years. I hunt in Northern Wisconsin on public land. I built a cabin about 13 years ago there. I shoot a Matthews Outback and I am just starting to look for places to hang my stands. Anyway on with my blooper. Quite a few years ago my brother and I were going to spot not to far from home for a morning stand. He was driving and we were going down the road talking about the hunting spot we were heading to. I turned to say something to him and felt a pain,well, right in my butt! I looked down at my left hind quarters and much to my surprise there was the hunting knife I had gotten last Christmas stuck in my leg:eek: The sheath didn't have a strap to hold it in place and it came out of the sheath and was just laying there waiting for me to stick my big fat rear end on it and of course I did. So we had to turn around and head for the E.R. The moral of this story is I now only own knives that fold. LOL GOOD LUCK THIS FALL!

Tominator Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I'd have to think awhile, but one that comes to mind was the happiest rabbit in Delaware county. This rabbit would run out in front of me, hop up in down in circles, dash back behind me, hop up and down in circles, and he repeated this process about 5 times.

Guest COACH J. Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Wow I can think of alot of stuff but one that comes to mind is a few years back my Dad(who is a preacher)had a preacher friend of his come down to bow hunt. This guy was from Pa and is about 6ft5 and 250lbs or so. He just wanted to get a deer with a bow so i put him in a stand he would see lots of does out of.About 10am he radios me and says he has one down so me and my bro go to his stand and start looking we went a few hundred yards and didnt see much sign so I called him and he swore he hit that deer right in the heart so we kept looking and sure enough she jumped up and was runing very slow with her back legs spread apart and an arrow sticking out her butt!And I mean bulls eye right in the hole!:DWe had to chase that poor deer down and slit her throat!So we got it to the house and I asked again where he hit it and he said right in the heart mabe a little back and I said were you trying a Texas heart shot and showed it to him!He will never live that down:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU_man_84 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 id have to say the funnies/wierdest thing ive experienced during bow season would have to be a while back, when i use to hunt public ground at a state park, me and a buddy where walking down the wood line between the woods an the beanfield, it was one of those warmer october days, and we heard some rustling and then a noise that sounded a little like someone laughing, and believe it or not we see 2 individuals 1 male and 1 female, take off running deeper into the woods in their birthday suits with clothes in hand, i guess we kinda ruined their day, but they ruined mine pretty much also, thats definately a blooper of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pappenz Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I've never really had any.... I guess the only one I have had was we swamped the quad when we were heading out once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest buckseeker Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I was out huntin one morning, I went back to the truck at lunch to eat my sandwich that I had packed and I reached in the truck bed to find my cooler had been raided by a few racoons they were kind enough to leave me a stink pickle in my cooler and no sandwich. I was so mad I had to laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjbmxz Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I have an uncle who likes to yell "THERE ONE GOES!!!!!" all the time when we come out of the woods hunting. Well one time he does this, and he laughs as always, we just put our guns in the cases when sure enough, a beautiful buck blasts over stone fence 20 or so yards away. By the time we got our guns out, he was too far away to start shooting. Yet with that happening, he still does that today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switchback29A1 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Mine came this last fall and is one thats so stupid you have to laugh. It includes all the "i can't believe i did that" things you always find yourself doing at some point in your career. Anyway, my best friends dad and I who hunt together almost everytime we hit the woods went to a property we have one morning about 15 minutes from the house. We got there and were running about 5 minutes late, but nothing to bad. Morning was cool and had tons of potential..just one of those that had excitment as soon as you steped out of the truck. I decided to head for a stand in the bottom I had been saving all year that nobody had sat in yet, but to get there you have to find a path on the edge of the field. Well needless to say i missed the path...a couple times. By the time i realized i needed to get back to the field and figure out my bearings...first light had crept up. My buddy's dad see's my fletchings in my quiver with his bino's and is laughing at me from across the field. But i finally get on the path and make my way to the stand about 30 minutes late, get climbed up and start hanging my gear up...next thing I know my phones going bazurk in my pocket, Tim had sent me a text asking me how many laps i was planning on running in the "i'm lost 250". Me being a ticked off smart a#@, i reply'd with "ive already won, im just trying to figure out where i want to do my victory lane burn outs at." Next thing i know while i'm texting back a shooter buck comes walking down the path I just walked in on not 5 minutes prior at 12 yards...I got busted trying to put my phone away and get my bow off the hanger. Just had to laugh it off and tolerate being laughed at by everybody for the next couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Boy o boy...over the years I could right a book on bowhunting bloopers from fighting broadheads caught in camo netting at ground level , accidently unstringing my bow , arrows falling off while drawing , accidental Texas heart shots , multiple shots at the same deer , here's 1 short story. The Murphy's Law hunt. This is from my recurve days. I'm in my stand and about 30 minutes after daylight a nice doe comes in at 20 yards. Oh boy, piece of cake shot but no, I shoot, she ducks and the arrow goes through the top of her backstraps. She makes a circle and comes back passing right by my tree showing me exactly where I clipped her. About 30 minutes later here comes another doe. OK shoot a little lower this time dummy. I did, she didn't duck and the arrow passed right under her. Dang, clean miss. She runs about 20 yards, stops and looks back with that look on her face, wags her tail and walks off and then I see 2 more does from the direction shes headed towards. I attempt to reload while looking at the deer and my arrow falls off and sticks in the root of the tree below my stand. OK 1 arrow left in my quiver now. I reload and the does ease up to the left of my tree. The biggest doe steps into an opening and stops with just one small 1 1/2" sapling about 3" to the left of her heart. At 15 yards, piece of cake right? Nope I centered that sapling. Now I'm out of ammo. I climb down, retrieve my arrows (less one broadhead in the sapling) and return to camp. I share the story with my friends and my best friend responds saying "I know what your problem was this morning". Puzzled I ask what? He responds with "you need a bigger quiver". Anyway I got some payback that afternoon putting a heart shot on a doe at 25 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98chevy Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 My funniest blooper was probly the time i dropped my realese when i was up in my new climber.

bigbuck145 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 The only one that stands out in my mind and never forget was when i first started bow hunting i was gonna shoot a doe to get the feel of the kill with my bow . I was sittin in my stand a couple of does came in picked the biggest one drew my bow took careful aim and released didn't realize i was shooting a little to close to a pine tree and what do you know I put one awesome shot on a big pine lost my broadhead but saved the arrow. When I talked to my dad a little later he asked you get one and i laughed and sayed no but there is a pine tree hurtin thats for sure. I have the arrow put up every time i look at i hang my head and laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axman Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Well this is my weridest one yet. Early oct see nothing but horns coming from the thickest stuff i have ever seen..Nice shooter buck probally the biggest to date. I give him a snort wheeze he comes to me like we are tide to a string, him on one end me on the other. He is 15 yards broadside, i draw back my nock stays in the dee loop my arrow hangs down from my rest with me straddling the arrow like its a pipe bomb waiting to go off. The biggest bow buck to date is looking at me with a strange look the what the heck? He gives me a few head a shoulder jerks i stay frozen like a stone unable to fire due to nothing in the string but my nock.He puts his head down walks about 15 more yards away i some how was able to hold the arrow between my legs reload another arrow, place what a thought was a good shot on him at 30 yards. Complete pass but high never found him, buddy was in a treestand about 75-100 yards away said it sounded like i smashed a 2x4 across a picnic table..High shoulder hit no man's land hit...Was sick and still think about to this day but was a blooper none the less.

Ravin R10 man Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 My biggest blooper would be heading out to bowhunt and being pressed for time, forgetting to put my bow in the truck....just dumb things like forgetting my release, or my pack with my calls and such. Of course, shooting the wrong "look alike" buck last year was the topper!..LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
