Remember your bow!!

[Crockett]

This is a first for me in 32 years of bowhunting!! Sunday a bud and I were in to hang a stand! We get ready to pull in the drive of the field.......something brite yellow laying in the grass bout 20 ft. off the gravel!! Long story short! Mathews Legacy. fully loaded 6 aras,an all!!! HMMMMMMMM! He knew the land owner so we took it to them and hoped it was the dude's that hunts on that ground!! Man. don't leave your bow on the ground! We ain't all honest!!!!!!!!!!!! Dumbass:moon:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a buddy on this site that left his bow at the base of the tree once. We packed in a good mile and half with lw and sticks on our back and on the evening hunt we met up and walked out. About 300 yards from the truck he realized he wasn't carrying his bow. I had to get to a halloween party and left him to go back and get it. Well his flashlight died and he had a heck of a time getting out. I believe he lost all of his arrows in that river bottom and still curses me for leaving him there. I think he got home by midnight that night.

I have forgotten my release in the truck before. That was fun. Just a couple weeks ago I left my EZ Hanger in the tree. It is fun when you have to put all of your LW sticks and Stand up to get it out.

I've heard of a couple guys setting their bows on top of their trucks and driving away like that. I even know one guy who backed over his bow. Might happen more than ya think.

ha.. one of my buddies left his tail gate open on his truck with his bow case on it, opened wide with bow, gloves and release all sitting on top and drove about 20 miles to get home and about 5 miles of it were on I-80... He got home and saw it sitting there and about shat himself... He was relieved he didn't even lose a glove.

I have lost a PSE off the top of my truck, and backed over another. The front wheel is not a good place to lean your bow when you are loading a deer! I have also watched a Remington 1187 get mushed by a truck tire. Sometimes the thrill of the hunt just fogs our minds!

I know a guy that was hunting on a draw hunt on a WMA in North Texas. The hunt was a 3 day hunt. He was then going to use the rest of his vacation on a hunt in Missouri. On the last day of his Texas hunt he hunted until dark, then packed up his gear and headed for Missouri. When he got to Branson, Missouri he realized his bow was missing. He drove all the way back to Texas and found his bow laying on the ground right where he was parked. He picked it up and drove back to Missouri.

I haven't forgotten anything big either in the woods or at home when heading out. But my Dad did lose a very nice skinning knife down in Southern Iowa. I've tried to find him a replacement, but I don't think it's made anymore. Either that, or it was a custom knife. I've had close calls where I've always forgotten mine several times. I wear it on my belt now.
