redkneck Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 The ones where a big buck is in front of your stand, but no matter how hard you pull the trigger you cant move it? Or the scope is completely fogged? Last night it was a red fox at the base of my ladder, and my release wouldnt close. Then when i finally got it working (the fox looking at me like an idiot) i realize that instead of my carbons, i got my girls practice arrows they shoot with thier beginners bows. I decide to shoot one anyway, but the thing is so short it falls through my biscuit. Some shrink would probably tell me i have deep unresolved issues and that I am a dumb redneck, all of which are true I suppose. Was just curious if anyone else has these dreams where they just cant seal the deal.:wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 John, i dont think you are alone here. Its called post traumatic buck disorder...:crutch: this diagnosis is a direct result of hard days and evenings on stand, and you getting your a#! handed to you by the big one that has amazingly eluded you from year to year...It gets really bad when you actually had him in range, but couldn't get a shot....your dreams will intensify 10 fold after that happens...:beer: Doctor Smackdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layin on the smackdown Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 i take liquid payment as well...:beer: man do i love that smiley...that rules! Seriously though, i feel your pain...I have a similar dream about 4-5 times a year, and 3 of them usually happen in November...It also happens to me with turkeys...Its always some sort of malfunction that is so unrealistic and stupid... crap that you would never consciously think of...its actually funny when you think of it..

wtnhunt Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 I do have dreams about big bucks especially as it gets closer to the season. Usually I wake up just before I take the shot.:jaw::no: Of course after waking up from those dreams, never can fall back to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coles Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 ive been dreaming about hunting the past few nights. probably has something to do with this illness i have caught called the hunting fever. Seems like i always catch it this time of year and it isnt cured until September 5th which is ironically the opening day of bow season. lol. i try to cure it with every hunting magazine and hunting story book i can find but nothing seems to help except sittin in a tree stand.

JimT Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Seems like every time I dream about hunting I either forget my gun or something constanly delays me from getting into the woods. I do not think I have ever seen a deer while hunting in my sleep.... :sleep1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Yep, sure do. It's always with my bow though. I'll see huge deer, chase them down and realize it's not bow season yet, or I don't have my bow, or don't have my arrows. Always something.

Jorden Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 I've had dreams where I was turkey hunting and a big tom was out in front of me but everytime I pull the trigger nothing happens. I've also had them where I am going out to the woods or on a hunting trip and I dont have my weapon. It is really quite frustrating:bummed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 So why can't we connect? I've pulled the trigger so hard and the thing finally just snaps. Just the other night i was fighting cottonmouths in a creek and the stupid .22 bolt action was acting up. I had the bolt in backwards. What the heck? You can't put it in backwards, but i did. Finally woke up just after I fell in the creek and had a big one after me and couldnt get a round off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator and I will sleep good tonight...Thanks John...you da man! Maybe I'm weird but I've had some of those dreams where I do connect on a monster.

redkneck Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Dang, Randy, why'd ya have to go dig that subject back up?:hammer1: I had the flying dream the other night, first time in a long time. But for some reason I had a roll of this clear duct tape looking stuff, and you had to pull off a small piece of it to stick on your palms and that's where the flying power came from. I know it's pretty dumb, but I used my powers for good and was flying around town looking at scenery at the swimming pools in ppl's back yards. you cant make this crap up.
