Illinois59 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 My favorite is when you hear something hit the ground below and have no idea what just fell to the earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shorty785 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 or when you gotta hold your bow in your lap and the arrow falls of the rest and hits the main frame of the bow and scares everything around you i hate that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 How about losing something and thinking it is gone for good. Then buying a replacement, and finding the one you though you lost shortly after buying a new one. That happened to me this year. I couldn't find my trusty Primos can call, so when we stopped at this little gas station on the way to our camp in the U.P. I bought another one. Sure enough, when we got there I was getting my backpack ready for the next day and found the one I thought I lost(not even 3 hours after I bought the other one. Funny thing is, I had emptied my backpack a few days before we left, and took out a few calls I figured I wasn't going to use (this is when I realized it was "gone" ). I looked and looked and couldn't find the dang thing anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tink Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 If you use a Whisker Bisquit you will never have an arrow fall off again put clear silicon on the riser of your bow and top of rest so arrows cant clink Silence your bow its works Tink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Happens every year. Knives, hats, gloves, calls, etc. I know I have an EZ hanger and the bottom of one particular tree in Knox county. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie234 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 that happened my hunting watch.

fly Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I have lost (more likely mis-placed) my bino harness. I know it's somewhere so I won't buy a new one. Meanwhile I'm hunting without it when I really need one. I figure it will show up on the last day of the deer archery season (mid-Jan.)

Illinois59 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I packed my favorite knife for my Illinois trip this year. It was given to me by a very dear ( and now deceased ) friend. When i arrived i could not find it anywhere in my duffel bag. I spent 45 minutes going through every item in my suitcase piece by piece. No knife. I swore that a baggage handler must have taken it. 3 days later i am organizing my day pack and guess what i found in the bottom corner? Sweet relief.

arrow32 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I've lost quite a few things. I don't think I could count the things on two hands that I've lost. Nothing major just like gloves, hats, maybe a call. I swore up and down there earlier this year I had lost my favorite grunt call then I came home from hunting a day or two after I lost it and it was laying on my bow table. Man was I happy. Dad wasn't because I was so dang mad about loosing it.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Happens every year. Knives, hats, gloves, calls, etc. I know I have an EZ hanger and the bottom of one particular tree in Knox county. LOL...I have a bunch of the screw-in parts for the Porta roof in trees acrossed 3 states! I've had to start tying strings from the umbrella part to the hanger to keep from leaving them anymore:o God only knows how many bow hanger screws trees have grown around already...I know one tree in particular that has one of mine in thats only good for hanging a strap on now because the tree has grown that much! Started using an EZ-Hanger and hanging my fanny pack off of it so I dont leave anything in the trees from now on. I've got lanyards on just about everything I could drop so thats not a problem now. The only thing I leave in the woods these days are some dreams of the Big One;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I manage to lose something every year. This past year so far I lost a call, a couple of gloves, and a UA face cover.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m gardner Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I continually forget my release. I finally practiced shooting fingers without it so when it happens again and I see a buck I can shoot well enough to kill him. I just bought another release to put in my pack so I'll have a spare. Unless I lose it. And they call old age the "Golden Years"??? :D:D Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I have like 7 left handed gloves without their right handed partners!!! In warmer weather, I don't wear my right handed gloves because of the style of my release. When cold weather comes, the right handed gloves are nowhere to be found.

HUNTINGMAN Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I placed my range finder in a place where I would remember where it was backin april during turkey season,I looked for it from the end of august until last week when I found it.Seems as I had hidden it from myself and hunted all season without it,man am I glad I found it,this will save me about 300$ and keep me from buying another one.

bigbuck145 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Last year after i shot a good 8 with my bow i decided to go back and shoot a doe. Had my backpack packed and ready. Climed the tree got settled in went to get my release couldn't find it. So i got down went back to camp looked everywhere even went through my intire truck. When dad gets to camp asked if i got one said no can't find my release and i know for sure i packed it. We looked a little more and then he ask" You look in the pocket of your bow vest?" Stuck my hand in there and what do you know there it is. Was in the bottom pock of my primos bow vest where i keep my calls. Guess i stuck it in there during all the excitement after i shot my buck. This year i have only misplaced my buck roar. Bought a new one then about a week later my dad hands it to me and says i left it in his stand. Guess if i ever lose one i'll have a backup unless i lose it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pendog Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 A list of things:( Mouth calls (NY & PA) Nikon Bino's (PA) Expensive knife (near a tree in SD) Arm Guard (NY) Gloves (PA) Didn't someone find a shotgun against a tree? That would have really sucked!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLester Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I hate it when I do that. Not bow hunting related but saturday was Ohio's late muzzleloader start. I was taking my daughter out to try to get her first deer. We got all suited up nice and early and I started looking for the caps for the ML Yep you guessed it, at home on the couch. I drove home and back as quickly as I could but it was still getting light on us. We saw two driving into the property but not another deer that day.... One that realy bugs me is when I forget the seat pad for my treestand! I just can't sit on that thing that long. I learned on my release along time ago to have a backup in my pack. Problem is I sometimes don't bring my pack. I've done much better with not forgetting things with trad gear. I've forgot a shooting glove a time or two but I can shoot a couple shots without one before my fingertips fall off so I guess I'm ok without one. LOL Armguards are all over the place in my vehicles. I've had to search for those a time or ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLester Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Didn't someone find a shotgun against a tree? That would have really sucked!!! Yeah for the guy that left it. I would have had to leave a note or something. I can't understand why anyone would leave a firearm out in the woods though. Why not keep it with you?

whttlbucksteve Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I lost my knife last year still have not found it,bad part is I know about were it is.I left it after i used it on a deer but still not found yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierbuck Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 When I dressed out my first deer I set down my new camo Gerber magnum LST (in the SNOW, thank you) and have not see it since, despite looking for it half a dozen times. I had a Spyderco clip knife on my pocket until some brush on an Alaskan hillside snatched it off there. I face planted going through some snowy deadfall on a Montana mountainside and lost a relatively new Stony point Safari-stix...with the optional third tripod leg. That's just a short list of the things I have really lost. Yu wouldn't believe the list of things I have "lost" only to find a month, or a year later.
