gun season starts...

I hear that! Sad day for sure! I'll be wearing ear plugs most of the day so I don't hear the neighboring shots.

[paceman]

sitting in the dark in the morning and you hear deer coming but it is taking forever to get light enough or at night you see a deer coming but it gets dark so darn fast you can't shoot...

[Froggy4371]

When Scoot and DonBo go hunting and come back and write there stories that get us all worked up and then keep us hanging every day!!!

(just dont ever stop writting them!)

Your sitting on stand and you here trees crashing and see a four wheeler coming through the small saplings at 500.

[JBone]

You make the 5 hour trip to deer camp and .................forgot your hunting boots

[DonBo]

You finally get an arrow in a deer when you hear that sickening crack and you know you're arrow is broken.

[MUSKY18]

Get 20 feet up in your climbing stand, go to knock your arrow, it slips and you watch it fall all the way to the ground?

[DonBo]

The wind's from the SE? Who has a stand for that this late in the year?

[DonBo]

Deer season is barely a week away and you haven't had one free minute to check your stands or scout that new property?

[Bear55]

I have several E and SE setups.

Of course I hunt 100% mobile so about half of my setups can be hunt for a variety of winds but I do have some special spots for odd early season winds.

[Swiftswamper]

I forgot my quiver one day... stuck out the hunt but it was the video camera in hand,

[Finlander]

It starts lightning and thundering off in the distance just when you get in your treestand!

...and you have $500 worth of Gortex in the truck, and none in your pack.

When you forget your range finder at home and your on your way too a 5 day antelope hunt in Montana.

[Scott K]

Your sitting in stand and a nice buck walks in, you get ready to draw back, then realize you havent nocked an arrow yet, then slowly doing so, the buck walks out of your shooting lane, never to be seen again.

[DonBo]

When you forget your range finder at home and your on your way too a 5 day antelope hunt in Montana.

Last I heard, he still hadn't found it.

[TruthWalleyes]

When you order a rangefinder in early august and it still hasn't arrived yet! Come on Leopold/GanderMT

[DonBo]

Scoot starts a story about his bear hunt, then doesn't finish it RIGHT AWAY, leaving you hanging?

The wind blows hard all of a sudden and you have to hold on to the tree to stay in the tree!

[Finlander]

When the landowners black lab follows your trail to your treestand and looks at you from the bottom of the tree wagging it's tail!

[RangerJack]

Finlander, you posted that dog story earlier in this thread

When you're sitting in your stand holding your bow, because you think the big one might come soon, and the bow falls to the ground and snaps the arrow in half....yep.

When you rattle in a basket 8, that you really don't even want to see, and he sits and stares at you for an hour straight. You can't even move a muscle because he knows something is up, but you don't want to ruin the chance that maybe, just maybe there's a 140" relative of his around the corner.

When you go into a sneezing or coughing fit while on stand. Even worse when there's deer by you.

[Archerysniper]

When the deer come into your stand at dark when your packing up and hang around for a hour and a half so you can't get down and your buddies walk in thinking your dead or injured.

[MattL]

...You get set up in your stand on a cool day and realize you forgot your heavier layers of clothing at the truck so you force yourself to tough it out for the rest of the hunt.
