Oh Yes I Did

[Muddyboots]

So last night I cleaned back of my truck out, reorganized it with cart, climber, gear etc. I pulled everything out and it was neat as a pin for this mornings hunt. The property I hunt is about 30 minutes from my house where I killed 2 nice bucks there last year; one scoring 156 7/8. Excited for this morning since it was 37 degrees after major cold front blew through last night from 75 yesterday to 37 so bucks are going to be on their feet cruising. I pull into my parking spot and got dressed. Cold wnw wind 10-15 mph so deer are going to be moving. I went to back of truck, opened it up and admired how neatly organized it was especially when there is more space when that big bow case is left back in the garage..... I stripped down and drove home laughing what a dumas would do this. First time for everything! At least it wasnt a road trip! I got back climbed tree and within 10 min I had a 6pt walk under stand. Only deer I saw probably because herd went through when I was driving back from house.

Great story, reminds me of hunting with my brothers...somebody always forgets something.: ) I now have check lists for my memory, although it did not stop me from forgetting my pillow this year in Wyoming it's a long drive back to Texas , so I used a rolled up jacket.

I feel your pain. The worst for me is to get all settled in on my climber and realize I forgot my release. Dang it, back down ....

I went fishing with my wife eleven years ago. It was about a three hour drive, brought the reels and forgot the all the rods..... except one. Not much to do up there.....anyway....I have an 11 year old son now. He's a good kid.

Went on a hunt with my brother once. He drew a tag and I didn't have one but I came along for the ride and brought my 7wsm and range finder and all that just in case. We drove a full day and once we arrived and unpacked I hear him cussing at the back of the truck. He says brother I have a problem.... he left his gun.... anyway he ended up taking a 141" 8 point @ 366 yards with my 7wsm. Took some serious talking to to even get him to shoot that far. He is a 200 and in kinda guy. But he ended up putting a 162 amax right where it belongs. After the trip was over he asked me what kinda groups this rifle shoots at that range... told him about 1"-1.5". He said that's better than mine at 200 yards. He now has 3 custom rifles and shoots with me regularly
