Yeah. I did it twice over 12 years of my lease. Packed everything up from food, ammo, sleeping bags, phone charger, water I think everything under the sun and drive to lease and realize there was no deer rifle!

Luckily my lease was just under an hour away just curious if any of you have ever made the trip and forgot something you had to go back for.

On at least two occasions last season, I forgot to take off my prescription sunglasses when going for an evening hunt. Being nearsighted, I have to wear corrective lenses to see clearly at any distance.

Believe me, it's not easy looking into the shadows at deep dusk while wearing your Poloroids.

Buddy and I headed out completely packed for a 5 day stay at his ranch 1.5 hours away, got to the gate around 9PM, and he forgot the keys. Gate keys and Trailer keys.

yup climbed up in my blind satdown and worked the action of the gun... no bullets, had been dropped offf and phone was in truck... Im so glad a monster didnt come in that evening

Yeah, all the time. Over the years I've forgotten ammo, cameras, RX meds, binoculars, sunglasses, cell phone charger, gasoline, food items, knives, clothes, snake boots.... even keys one time. Everything but guns.

Thats one reason I've gone overboard stocking my cabin with cheap back-ups, so I don't have to remember much. Extra everything on hand so I can be senile and still hunt. Everything I can't leave at the ranch stays in my "back and forth basket", a laundry basket that stays by my dresser at home, and everything going back to the ranch goes in there. Time to go to the ranch, grab the basket, food, and guns, and I am pretty much good to go.

Got to blind from being dropped off and realiazed I did not put my quiver with my shafts on my bow. That evening sucked. Had a 140 10 pt. feed 2 hours in and out.

yeah all the time, but i live a mile from where i hunt lol, so its not to much of a big deal

I've never forgot to pack the guns or ammo, and maybe it's because I take more than one firearm, so it's easier to remember when loading up, and I normally put the box of shells in the gun case with the rifle.

I did forget the small stuff, and one reason why I now pack everything I need into a normal size backpack, so it's grab and go and I don't have to worry if I have everything.

Keys stay on my key ring along with an extra that goes in the ash tray of the Jeep, with the cell phone in my pocket.

Grab the guncases and backpack and go! Anything else I forget I can live without it!

I can remember at least once when I went to unchamber my rifle before leaving the stand, only to realize that I never chambered a round once I got there.

Thankfully, it didn't cost me a deer.

Buddy and I were duck hunting about a 30 minute boat ride from the boat ramp. We unpacked everything on a shore line and realized we didn't get the guns out of the truck. My buddy went back for the guns while I set the decoys. Of course, right at legal shooting time a huge group of teal land in the decoys and there was nothing I could do but watch. My buddy gets back and ask if I saw anything and I said no, nothing yet. A little while later another huge group of teal dive bomb us and we get two each.

There's 2-4 rounds of 308 in every deer stand I hunt in.... have heard horror stories and it's worth splitting a box or two up and leaving it there...

We are considering an enclosed trailer, that stays stocked, complete with four wheelers, ready to go; so all any of us has to do is take the trailer....

I've forgotten things I wanted, but never anything I needed... if I have my pack and my rifle I am generally good to go. Camper keys are left in camp somewhere, gates have numeric combo's...

Not anymore.

I am fanatical about using a checklist, it is a 6 hour, 340 mile drive for us. That would be a long way to drive back to get something.

An item on the checklist does not get check off until said item is actually in the truck or trailer.

I went fishing a few weeks ago, picked up several dozen minnows, got to my spot fished for about ten minutes, got wrapped around a bush and broke my line. When I went to retie a new hook, I reached into my back pocket for my little tackle box and realized that I left it on my kitchen counter So I ended up driving home and fishing my neighborhood pond where I caught a 6lb bass

Went on and Axis bowhunt in Uvalde once, mind you i live 6 hours away. I had on of those fancy arrow cases, that i kept all my arrows in, so i didnt have to remove my broadheads all the time, well, you guessed it, had my bow, but left my arrows sitting on the front porch at the house. I borrowed 2 arrows from my uncle, re-sighted my bow, and hunted for the weekend, didnt get an Axis either!

Went on a turkey hunt once, left all of my camo in the dryer at the house! Had to wear my BIL's, and ofcourse none of it fit, i looked like some homeless guy.

Hogs busted up a feeder one time and bent one leg. I bought a new leg and went down to the lease to stand the feeder back up. I slid the leg on the bracket and pushed the feeder back up. It was ½ full so it was a BEAR getting it up off the ground. Once I got it up I realized I didn’t cut the leg the same length as the other 2 legs. I FORGOT my hack saw. The only option I could think of was to us my AR-15 and make Swiss cheese where I needed to make the cut. Worked like a charm! Best power tool ever made!

Worse one we had was our air mattresses was sitting folded in the back seat and we were busy plinking with .22s. Well after shooting a .22 was set on top of the mattresses top down. When we went back later to get out or supplies and moved the .22 and the front sight ripped a nice gash in the air mattress. Needless to say we got to drive to town to pickup a new one. Luckily wal-mart is only about 30 minutes away.

I'm in the same boat. I'm 360 miles from lease. I start packing 3 to 4 day ahead.

I forgot the magazine for my semi-auto rifle once. Oh, well, all it takes is one shot anyway.

I've never had to drive back HOME for something but I have had to drive back to the lease several time for something I forgot.

Medicine, left a shotgun in a blind once, forgot to lock up and turn off the lights, and I've forgotten to un-set the hog trap when I knew I would't be back for a couple of weeks.

everytime Usually nothing big.

I have a buddy who NEVER brings anything. Actually forgot SOCKS! He also has shown up with 2 waters and a bag of chips for the whole weekend

Had the 4 wheeler in the back of the truck and forgot the ramps at home. Getting it off at the deer lease was not too bad but loading it was a different story.

I forget my wife quite often... Oh wait she never wants to go anyways nevermind!!!

Forgot the hatchet to break the hogs spine and bones, so did as best we could with the knife and then twisted the boars head round and round till the tension broke the spine, gruesome sight! Went to Whataburger with blood on my face and didn't even know it

Forget something everytime, but never my gun or ammo.

Once during late dove season I got to deer camp with my 2-sided gun-case, that usually has a shotgun in one side and a rifle in the other, only to find a 20 and a 12-guage. I'd been duck hunting the previous day and swapped out the rifle for the 12-guage. Didn't even have a box of slugs.

When I was about 13 I was what got forgotten at deer camp. My parents and my aunt and uncle each thought I was with the other when they all pulled out, heading in different directions. I wandered into an empty camp at dusk, way before cell-phones were even thought of. We had water, cold drinks, and snacks in camp, and I had my .308 and a box of shells. I spent four days living off Dr. Pepper, Doritos, Moon Pies, and badly mangled squirrels and rabbits spit-roasted on coat-hangers. I missed a day of school in the process so it worked out OK.
