Speaking of berries, my wife just realized she forgot to put the black berries in the berry cobbler she has in the oven. She is a little pissed right now. Guess I'll have some vanilla ice cream with cobbler and some berries sprinkled on the top.

As far as the getting to the lease without something, it happens all the time. Ive also been known to make it to the blind without, ammo, binos, and once even my gun.

WARNING LONG POST STORY!!!!!!!

Yes it did happen not my fault entirely though.


When I was starting back hunting back in 91 again after a few years away from it I had no rifle, owning only a .22lr and 20ga shotgun, but just a handful of repeated invites from a good friend. Well he had about half dozen rifles and lent me a Nice old Savage 99 E in .243 win. I picked it up from his auto part store where he kept them all and went to range sighted in some special federal Premium ammo I bought for it.
Then i took it back Because I didn't want to have it stole from my home etc..not being able to replace it. Well come opening day of season in glen rose Texas we were unloading all the gear etc. He started going through the rifle he brought up,one for another friend of ours,one for his grandson ,his own favorite...but alas not the one I was to use and had sighted and been shooting all summer. Well okay a friend/common-law/brother in-law type was coming out later that evening and was going to swing by and pick up "ricks(borrowed)rifle" in the brown case. Well latter that night he pulls in everyone's spirits are high happy etc...He whips out the case and my friend goes ...uhhh...wrong brown case!
so we what did he bring? a Sprig field action rifle in 6mm. Also had about12 rounds ina baggie in the soft case with it. They stuck a paper plate up about 75 yds away and shinned a spotlight on it and I proceeded to pop a few shots at tit. Hit hit hit. They were like damn good boy that will do.

Come morning my original stand location a tower box blind had blown over in the night. I humped it back to camp garbed a spare truck there and drove to bottom of hill down on the Paluxy river. Hunted a ground blind watching a maze field there. One of the biggest bucks of my life busted me in the blind and never got a chance to shoot as he bounded nearly over the top of me.
good thing though as about 10 minutes latter a bobcat strutted out @ 50 yds and I proceeded to miss him twice.
dumbfounded I began to suspect the rifle. So I marched back up the way I drove in to to the top of the hill and thought Id walk and see what I could at the "tops" as we called the ridge and fields there. I busted a large flock of Rios and actually was able to circle wide and intersect some of the slower ones about 30 minutes latter. A large Gobbler walked out not 50 feet and I proceeded to take his head off and of course missed by a mile.
well end this story ..when I got back to camp I walked about 150yds down from cabin set up the paper plate stuck a large orange dot on it and leaned over the hood the truck to shoot. It was 2" high at the range so How I would have ever hit anything at the close ranges I was at would have amazed me.

Yep sure have. I once forgot the shells to my rifle. My dad made me carry my rifle around anyway. Once on a Colorado mule deer hunt I forgot the keys to my trailer. Luckily my wife was coming to meet us and hadn't left yet. Sure was a rough night sleeping til she arrived the next day.

Forgot my Hunting knife; field dressed a deer with my small pocket knife. Hadn't forgotten it since!

I forget stuff all the time, never a gun or ammo, but have forgot the tent, keys to the trailer, keys to the fourwheeler (easy to hot wire), and clothing. Left my winch at home bc I didn't feel like lifting 110# and got stuck bad. Also have forgot the drain plug to the boat a time or two, that was fun, didn't leave it anywhere just forgot to put it in

Drove from El Paso to Big Bend, it was scheduled to be 100 degrees plus. I brought the shade but forgot the support poles

You can't say your a real hunter unless you have forgotten things, went elk hunting few years back and my buddy "forgot" his gun.....How do you forget your gun....

I always forget to bring my snuff or a watch to my blind. I can't stand not knowing what time it is when hunting in a blind.

My little brother did that when we went Goose hunting! Get all the way out into the peanut field, set up and everything and went to grab all of our gear and he goes "um i forgot my gun"

Ever got up extra early, walk 2 miles to the bow stand real quite waitin on daylight and then realize you didn't bring your trigger release?? Believe me, that sucked.

Back when I was a young'n I forgot my 20 guage when I was dove hunting. One of the guys there brought an extra 12 guage, so that was when I started shooting a 12 guage instead of a 20.

forgot to grab a bottle of Jim Beam on the way to hunt for four days once. A buddy showed up a day later with a 1.75 as a gift cause I always supplied the bourbon. The thought of having to drink nothing but beer for four days was a real sick, sick felling.
