Several years ago while bowhunting a very large track of national forest. I decided to hike in to a very remote location for a day long hunt, so that morning before leaving my truck I went thru the check list to make sure I wasn't leaving anything behind I would need for the day.
Good to go,Well after the long dark hike to my location I set my stand and sat waiting,and waiting passing on several big doe's and a little forkhorn, then at about 4:30 a nice tall 6pt came in to my stand. I placed a good shot and watched him pile up 30yds away.
After packing up all my gear and climbing down,I slipped over to him,and after a couple min. of giving myself the high five,I prepared to field dress him for the long drag to my truck.When I opened my pack to grab my knife,wait where is my knife,you have to be kidding me NO KNIFE.
Well after kicking myself in the butt for a bit,I managed to do a not so pretty gut job with one of my broadheads with all but one blade removed,talk about rewrite the check list...I wont be that stupid agaiin.................................well until next time. LOL

I had just bout a brand new 280 and mounted a nice leupold 3-9x50 on it. Bought 3 boxes of shells and shot 2 1/2 of them practicing and sighting in cause i knew this year was my year. So i get up on the stand an hour before daylight. I sit there until about 8:00 when a doe walks out. So i threw up on her to scope her out while i was waiting for big guy. Well with all that shooting the screws on the scope rings backed out and my scope slid over in its mount. so i thought No big deal. I haven't seen a big deer in 2 years. Ill just wait till these does leave so i dont spook them from my stand for the rest of the weekend and come back after i fix my rifle. Well i get off my stand take about 10 steps and a huge 8 walks 50 yds in front of me. I just stand there and wave at him while he chases those does and walks right by.
