Okay Deitz,

My wife was just looking over my shoulder when I was reading your post and she says if you're going to stand there for 40 minutes with your stuff hanging out ... she wants to go hunting with you. Oh and I'm jealous because yours stuff hangs out, I usually pee on my zipper. LOL

[analyzer]

lol, tipman, lol.

I tell ya what, if it's cold enough out, when i'm trying to dig that baby out, it goes turtle on me...

I play broomball in the winter, and when it's below zero, and I gotta go, I swear I got an "inny"... lol.

JK... but the little guy shrivels up pretty good.

[Scott M]

TMI guys, TMI. Can we go back to the list of things for deer hunting instead of the list of things causing "shrinkage"

[BLACKJACK]

My list is short: slug barrel, slugs, chair, headlamp, coverall, warm boots. Of course I never unpack my 'trip bag' - a pet peeve of my wife - which contains underware, socks, reading material, lounge clothes, shaving kit. And the cooler and beer are already loaded!!!

[Deitz Dittrich]

LMAO !!! too funny dudes..... Ok back on task!

shaving kit.

BLACKJACK, you shave when you deer hunt?!

[Bassboy1645]

GEEEAAAZZZZUUUUZZZZZ who shaves when they hunt!?? Im just getting old enough to get a nice chin patch going lol.

The usual lists above.

[BLACKJACK]

No but my mouth tastes lots better Sunday morning if I brush my teeth Sat night before bed!!! Plus my shaving kit is where I keep my bottle of aspirin!!!

[Phunnyfarm]

I feel ya knockin BLACKJACK! It's not a shaving kit, it's a "medicine cabinet"!

I forgot to mention that every list should include Tums/Rolaids and Immodium. Nothing ruins a good time like heartburn, acid reflux in the stand, or "the trots".

[wallter]

BEER

Gun

Bullets

[Eric Wettschreck]

Gun

Ammo

Anything else is extra weight.

[Wildlineman]

You guys are hilarious!

Thanks for starting this! I would have probably forgot some things that I NEED to take with me.

Good luck and be safe.

[jwhawkridge]

I usually like to have deer on my list. Haha....

[harvey lee]

I always have a small first aid kit and aspirins with.

[analyzer]

I knew I forgot something, that must be why we didn't get a deer this weekend. Next time, I'll put Buck on the list. I hunt southern minnesota, do you think it would be pushing it, to put "snow" on the list?

[Steve Foss]

You know, I plumb forgot to add deer to my list, too. Explains a lot. I just got out my list from last Friday and added "typical 12-point buck with B&C green score of 266 1/2."

I wonder if it will work this many days after opener. Nah, who am I kidding?

[analyzer]

just a 266 12-point typical huh? Is that all?

I'd just like to get my son one. I have had an opportunity to shoot a trophy 3 years in a row... and he has yet to see a buck... well, no, he saw one with half a rack.

The kid sat in his blind from 6 am to 6:23 pm on Saturday. I was so proud of him. And he jumped right out of bed on sunday as well. It's hard for anyone to sit for 12 hours. I was very very proud of him. But he had nothing to show for it : (.

[Steve Foss]

Hey man, when a guy makes a list, why not put a record on it?

With a work ethic like that, your boy will have his deer sooner or later. The wait will make the kill all the sweeter. Sounds like he's got a ton of patience. I know quite a few grown men who can't do what he did.
